[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Tax Preparation SW Review Request

bruces@Stardent.COM (Bruce Schurmann @stapollo) (02/01/90)

    It appears that there are currently three substantive tax preparation
    programs available on SIMTEL20 these days:

        12/18/89     159529 binary PD:<MSDOS2.TAXES>AMTAX89.ARC
        01/25/90     167540 binary PD:<MSDOS2.TAXES>PCTX8913.ARC
        01/08/90     191663 binary PD:<MSDOS2.TAXES>STAX89.ARC

    I am very interested in using one of these and I presume there
    are many others who are similarly interested.  The obvious question is
    which one?  Rather than all of us downloading all three I would be happy
    to accept critiques of all three via email and post a summary as soon
    as possible.  Please try to be as descriptive as possible, i.e. printers
    supported, forms supported, additional features like calculator, etc.

        Thanks,

        Bruce Schurmann                       (Views are my own, period.)

I too am interested in Tax programs, but -- I am CANADIAN!!!

Any Canadian tax software available?  Thanks.

I have enjoyed using this program last year.  Because I registered with
the authors I received a pre-release 89 version and a very written and
well published manual.

One significant feature of this program is the ability to provide detail
for a line on the return by presenting a general supporting worksheet.

Excellent and very professionally done.  Highly recommended.
