K. Net Worth Calculation.  Your Net Worth is calculated and
printed based on information in your Checkbook Files, Investment
File, Household Inventory File and Asset/Liability File.  To be
most accurate, make sure all files have been updated with current
prices/values before proceeding.

L.  Federal Income Tax Estimator.

     The Income Tax Estimator is designed to help you
     estimate your federal income taxes and to compare one
     year to the next.  For example, you could estimate 1988
     taxes and print and save them.  Then you could later
     re-read 1988, made some "what-if" changes and compare
     the results to the original estimate.  The new estimate
     could be stored, replacing the old estimate or could be
     stored with a separate name.  To print the results for
     comparisons, use the print-screen key.

     To calculate taxes for a year, the tax rate file for
     that year must be in the current path. The tax rate
     files are named TAXnn.FIL, where nn = the tax year.
     For example, the tax rate file for 1987 is named
     TAX87.FIL.  New tax rate files will be available when
     the IRS finalizes the years' rates and rules.

     Note:  QPACS calculates taxes using the Tax Schedules.
     IRS instructions say to use the Tax Tables if your
     taxable income is below $50,000.00.  Therefore there
     may be a few dollars difference between the QPACS
     calculation and your actual taxes.

     To use the Tax Estimator, key in "F" from the main
     menu.

     Key in the fields as indicated by the help box in the
     lower right hand corner of the screen.  For more help
     press the F1 key.  Use up and down cursor keys to
     return to any field.

     To save a file, press F9.  Then key in the file name
     for the file to save.  Files will be saved in the
     current path.  Just enter the file name (and extension
     if desired).  Example:  MY1987.TAX

     To read in a previously saved file, press F4.  Then key
     in the file name of the saved file.  Reading in a saved
     file will overlay any existing file already on the
     screen.

     Schedules A and B.  These schedules can be calculated
     separately or you can just enter the estimated amount
     on the Schedule A and B lines.  If you do use the
     separate Schedules, the amount will automatically be
     forwarded to the 1040 screen.  Be sure you perform the
     calculate function (F8) before returning to the 1040
     screen.
     To calculate the tax at any point just press the F8
     key.

     Note:  The calculate function (F8) only calculates the
     data on the current screen.  If you were to read in,
     for example, your 1987 tax estimate, change the tax
     year to 1988 and press F8, you would not recalculate
     Schedules A and B.  In order to do this properly you
     must read in 1987, change the tax year to 88, go to
     Schedule A (F2), calculate (F8), return (ESC), and
     calculate (F8).  Follow the same procedure for Schedule
     B.

     To clear all the fields on the screen (including those
     on the Schedule A and B screens) press F7.

     Press ESCape to end the Tax session and return to the
     main menu.  You may later come back to the Income Tax
     Estimator and continue.  Once you end your QPACS
     session and return to DOS, however, you will lose all
     of your keyed data.  Be sure to save your file before
     exiting from QPACS.
