New Additions To FITT In 1988
For those of you who have used previous versions of this product
in past years, there are a few significant additions in FITT88
worth mentioning. Three new forms have been included: Form 2210-
Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals and Fiduciaries, Form
1116-Computation of Foreign Tax Credit, and Form 8615-Computation
of Tax for Children Under Age 14 Who Have Investment Income of More
Than $1,000.
In addition to the official IRS forms and schedules, FITT now
includes a number of the worksheets that appear within the Form
1040 instruction package. These worksheets are: Taxable Refunds
of State & Local Income Taxes, Social Security Benefits, IRA
Worksheets 1 and 2, Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction, and
the Schedule SE worksheet.
An extra navigational aid has been added to the menus. In addition
to the NEXT and PREVIOUS options which appear on all intermediate
level menus, the lowest level menus now include a FIRST option.
This will bring you directly back to the first menu in the series.
Previous, you had to use MAIN to go all the way to the top, and
then proceed back down, or use PREVIOUS to back out one level at
a time.
The reference manual no longer includes a complete set of all the
printed forms and schedules. A number of people suggested that
they be deleted since anyone who wants to print a complete set can
easily do so directly from the FITT Print menu.
This has several advantages. The resulting reduction in the size
of the documentation file allows all the FITT files to reside on
the distribution diskette in uncompressed form. This saves you the
trouble of having to "unsqueeze" the files onto another disk before
you can use them. This also cuts down on the time required to
download these files from bulletin board systems.
These are the main differences that will be obvious to previous
users.
