Dear Editors:
Widget Inc. is delighted to announce it's new tax preparation
software, which will be available nationally. The following press
release may be of interest to your readers, as it pertains to a
subject that is close to everyone's heart, Their Taxes!
----- PRESS RELEASE -----
HEADING: PERSONAL COMPUTER USERS CAUSING LOSS AT I.R.S.
Recently, the IRS came out with yet another complicated set of tax
codes. With the increased complexity also came an increase in
revenue for the Fed's when an unprecedented number of fines and
penalties were levied against taxpayers that incorrectly filed
their tax returns.
A couple in Alaska was recently fined $125 for an honest mistake on
their last tax return. What was the mistake? It was an underpayment
of 12 cents. In today's economic times, tax savvy is not only
important, but it's fast becoming the public's number one priority.
A recent government study showed that if 25% of all computer owners
used their computers to do their taxes, Uncle Sam would lose over
3 billion in fines and penalties.
With a computer in every home becoming more of a reality every day,
it was only time before a simple software package that can do
complicated tax work was introduced to the "common" computer user.
Widget Inc, a New York based software firm, has recently introduced
such a personal tax package. "This package is so simple to use,
that parents will most likely get their children to do their taxes
for them" jokes Melvin Smith, President of Widget Inc.
The software is called "Layman's Tax Preparation" and will soon be
available in software store's throughout the country. You can
contact Widget Inc at (800) 555-8373 if you cannot find this
software locally, or you can send $85 to Widget Inc, Box 3837, New
York, NY 10007.
This tax package will import data from almost any source including
ASCII, Lotus, dBase, Quicken, MYM, and almost any other format that
you can find. It will also export in almost any format. Even non-
computer and non-financial types are amazed at how easy this
software is to install and use.
By using a window's styled format, maneuvering through "Layman's
Tax Preparation" is a breeze, especially for those user's that are
familiar with a mouse. And if you own a laserjet printer, you will
be in heaven when it comes time to fill out those forms, this
package prints exact duplicates of the IRS forms on blank sheets of
paper. Imagine, never having to stand in line for tax forms again.
Rapid Refund has also been implemented in this package. For those
of you not familiar with this new fad, it's a system that allows
you to file your taxes through your modem, thereby speeding up the
refund process. And still the most amazing part of this package is
the fact that it can all be done by using a mouse and clicking on
icons (pictures) of what you want, or you can switch to 123 style
pull down menu's. This system seems to satisfy even the most hard
to please computer users.
