[Apologies if this isn't the best group for this; feel free to tell me where
to go if this isn't the best place!]

I writing to request suggestions for a US income tax preparation program to
run on a DOS-only (640K) computer.

My mom has recently had a bad experience with the JK Lasser program from
ChipSoft (poorly redesigned user interface [lots of Alt-key combinations] and
wouldn't load background data from last year... last year's version did not
have these problems... she did call tech support re: background data).

Program should be able to handle multiple returns (she does my sister's taxes
for her), loading data from Quicken would be really nice, and ability to
transfer background data (names, dependents, etc.) from year-to-year would be
good, too. I guess ease-of-use is a big concern here.

Thanks for your help. I'll try to follow this group for a while, but e-mail
would be nice...
