I've uploaded an archive containing a number of MaxiPlan templates
representing the 1987 US Income Tax forms.
The files are broken down into seperate forms, but they are dynamically
linked together, so MaxiPlan will always go look in the right file
through use of the 'REFER' command.
Look in LEDS3::USER6:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA]MXTAX.ARC
As an aside, the creators of MaxiPlan seem to have atoned for their
earlier sins. The first few releases of MaxiPlan were among the
buggiest Amiga code I've seen in my life. We're talking a major
guru just by moving a window.
Now, at version 1.8e, (I hear there is already another upgrade)
MaxiPlan is one of the most powerful spreadsheets I know of; I think
it's in the same league as Excel on the MAC. There's nothing it
can't do. If you've been holding off on buying MaxiPlan (it earned
the not-so-affectionate name 'MaxiSh*t early on), I can semi-oficially
declare it fixed. If you've got limited memory, MaxiPlan 500 has
all the features of MaxiPlan Plus, except a smaller array size.

| 1116.1 | Looking for TAX Program | NQOAIC::NILSEN | Bob @ 264-7017 | Tue Jan 07 1992 13:51 | 7 |
In the IBM world, they have bunches of tax programs available. I
was wondering if someone or a company has tax programs for the Amiga.
I looked in the Lotus notes for a 1991 tax form, but no luck.
If there is one sold by a company, has anyone tried it ?
Thanks Bob

| 1116.2 | TaxBreak from Datamax Research | CADSYS::GATULIS | Frank Gatulis 226-6140 | Tue Jan 07 1992 14:44 | 25 |
Bob,
For the past 3 years I've used TAXBREAK from Datamax research. I've
done 5-7 sets of taxes each year with the product. I can't say how
it compares to other products as I've never tried, or seen anything else
on the Amiga. While there's always plenty of room for improvement,
TaxBreak gets the job done. This year all the forms are supposed to
be Lotus compatable if that's of any value to you.
It only does FEDs but provides IRS acceptable printout. Call Datamax
and they'll send you a brochure and order information. They aren't
shippong this year until January 15th.
416-775-2225 Datamax Research Corp, Lewiston NY
I don't know the cost for a new user but it's been $30 a year for an
update. This year, ARexx is a pre-requesite to Taxbreak. If you
run WB 2.04 yo already have ARexx. If you run WB 1.3 I think
Datamax will sell you ARexx for $25. As for exactly which forms
taxbreak supports, it seems to vary each year, ask thwem directly.
There always seems to be one or two I have to fill out by hand.
