I have been using this MS-DOS software for the last 5 years and
have been satisfied with it's output.  I wanted to let the net know
because it is basicly in a word-of-mouth distribution channel.  It
is written by a San Diego local enrolled agent who more or less
just gives it away.  The author has an Email address but is not
active on the net (yet).  The user interface has been nicely
overhauled for tax year 1994.

It is called the DO-IT Income Tax Program (EZTAX94.ZIP).  It sells
for $12.00 post-paid including tax.  Don't let the low-ball price
mislead you.  It works and it prepares both the FED can CA forms
side-by-side or simultaneously.  You only need to enter the
common data a single time.

The software appears to be a compiled spreadsheet resembling Lotus.
Although it's user interface is not as slic as the commercial
offerings, it works well and has done me good for the last 5
years and with this years changes, tis much friendlier.

----------------------------------------------

Here's a partial copy of the release blurb:

DO-IT is the only tax program that computes Federal and California
simultaneously.  It is a EASY tax program that guaranties relief
from the pain and suffering of manual income tax preparation.

DO-IT is smarter.  It will use Federal amounts to compute
California taxes.  It will also select the best alternative for
filing.

NEW IMPROVED TAX PROGRAM:  Approved computer printed 1040, New
pop-up menu system, Mouse operation.  You will like it!

conventional memory.

OBdisclaimer:  I have no stake nor interest in this program or it's
author except as a satisfied customer.  I only want to let others
in on this inexpensive secret...if you feel compelled to flame me
because of the "obvious commercial nature" of this post, or use
of incorrect newsgroups then knock yerself out...then get a life.
