I have tried the Pha$ar Tax program. The problem with it is that the tax forms must, of necessity be little more than general templets of the tax forms. This is necessary because the writers of the forms don't know your accounting scheme. What did you call dividends payed on stock? DIV, DIVIDENS, or what? I found it easier to do my own templets in Analyze! and just copy the numbers as needed. I have used Data Tax for the past few years. It is okay, but I really wish the Amiga had some of the neat software that the PC does. (No flames please. While the PC has lots of neat software, I consider DOS, even with windows, a pitiful excuse of an operating system. I refuse to use any computer with DOS unless you pay me for it.)
