I. Introduction
Welcome to the World of Electronic Tax Filing! This software
package, ETF1099, allows you to input all of your tax
information for filing to the IRS-Martinsburg Computer Center.
This version is marketed as shareware. The software is fully
functional and is NOT crippled in any way. It allows you to
file tax return information for the following forms:
Form 1098
Form 1099-DIV
Form 1099-G
Form 1099-INT
Form 1099-MISC
Form 1099-PATR
Form 1099-R
Form 5498
Form 1099-A
Form 1099-B
Form 1099-OID
Form 1099-S
Form W-2G
You will not be filing directly with the IRS-Martinsburg
Computer Center; instead you will be creating a "data-disk
collection" to send to us for reformatting. We in turn submit
the information directly to the IRS-Martinsburg Computer
Center.
If you are required to submit state information in the forms
listed above, please do not use this software package. At
present, this software package does not allow for transmission
of state information.
II. Software Installation
This package was compressed using PKZIP. Please copy the
entire distribution zip file to a new directory (you can call
it whatever you wish) and invoke pkunzip in the following
manner:
PKUNZIP -d etf1099
The -d option creates a new subdirectory under your new
directory called taxdbf. Please do not directly edit any of
these files, or the integrity of your tax information will be
degraded.
You will need to set one DOS environment variable before this
program will run properly. Take a look at your CONFIG.SYS file,
see how many file handles you have there (usually in a line that
says FILES=80 , or some other number). Now, in DOS, key in the
following:
SET CLIPPER=F80
or whatever the number of file handles was in your
CONFIG.SYS file in place of the number 80.
III. Invoking the Software
When you've finished extracting the software, you can invoke
the package by typing in:
ETF1099
followed by a carriage return. The menus are fairly
straightforward and self-explanatory.
IV. Assumptions
As a software author and electronic tax information
transmitter, I have to assume that you have the following
things (without which you really have no need to run this
program):
1. A computer with at least 256K free ram
2. 1 megabyte of free disk space
3. A valid TCC number assigned by the IRS
4. A printer of some type attached to your computer.
If you don't have all of the above, you may only use this
software for educational purposes. If you do have all of the
above, GREAT! You may actually use this software and file
your tax information through us to the IRS.
V. Payment
We accept Visa, Mastercard, personal and business checks. The
fee schedule is as follows:
Number of Forms Price Per Form
1 - 10 $9.95
10 - 20 $9.15
20 - 50 $8.45
50 - 100 $7.95

X. Other Pertinent Stuff
This software package does NOT make any computations based on ANY
tax tables provided by the IRS. The authors of this software
package assume that you, the taxpayer, are smart enough to know
how much goes in which line of each form. If you expected this
software to do the compututation for you; well, we apologize pro-
fusely.
