[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... -- brownd@stolaf.edu (Dave Brown) Radio Techie, Desktop Publisher, Medieval Recreationist, Trekker, slices too!
