- Dear Patron,

-
- Thank you for taking the time to evaluate qTAX. qTAX is a shareware program
- with a registration fee of $35. However, the version you now hold is not
- disabled in any way. You are on the honor system: if you use the program
- you are asked to pay the registration fee. Please read "LICENSE.DOC"
- to find out more regarding licensing, including warranties. qTAX includes
- the following tax forms: 1040, A, B, C, D, D-1, E, SE, 2106, 2119, 2441,
- 3903, 4952, 6251, 8615, 8814 (6 copies), and 8829. qTAX also allows you to
- optionally input worksheet data for wages and compensation, taxable interest
- income, nontaxable interest income, dividend income, deduction expenses, and
- child and dependent care expenses. Telephone support is available to
- registered users Sunday through Thursday 7:30 P.M.- 9:30 P.M. (EST)
- (301/330-6090).
-
- qTAX makes every effort to correctly calculate your federal income tax
- return. However, due to the complexities of the income tax laws, you may
- wish to override certain calculations. qTAX permits you to do this. qTAX is
- no substitute for knowledge of the tax laws. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR TAX
- RETURN. It is strongly recommended that you review the official IRS tax forms
- and explanations before using the software.
-
- Once the software is installed, move to the subdirectory named qtax91 (or
- another name if appropriate) and type qtax to get started.
-
- TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS.
- qTAX will run on IBM and IBM compatible PC's. You must have DOS 2.10 or
- higher (DOS 3.1 or higher for networks). For best results, 640kb of memory
- is suggested, although qTAX will run on 512kb with a hard disk. Run INSTALL
- first, then type qTAX to run the tax programs.
-
- PRINTING TAX FORMS.
- qTAX computer generated tax forms are approved by the IRS as replacements for
- the official tax forms. On many printers qTAX will also generate an IRS
- approved Form 1040 tax return. You should print all tax forms on high
- quality white 8.5" x 11" computer paper at least 18 pound (most good quality
- paper meets this requirement). All forms and schedules should be printed
- six lines per inch and 10 characters per inch (standard default setting).
- However, the 1040 will print at a condensed pitch which is acceptable to the
- IRS. It is recommended that original forms printed in near letter quality be
- sent to the IRS. If qTAX's version of the 1040 does not match the official
- form, hand copy data from the draft 1040 onto the IRS official copy. You
- can submit a package of computer generated and hand generated tax forms with
- your return.
-
- REGISTRATION.
- The registration fee is $35.00 (Maryland residents add 5%) payable by check.
- Please print REGISTER.DOC and provide indicated information with payment or
- if you prefer send payment directly to:
-
- Self-Help Software, Inc.
- P.O. Box 3401
- Gaithersburg, MD 20885-3401
-
- Please specify with your payment your home address, what size floppy you
- would like (3.5" or 5.25"), and the version of DOS you have. Registered
- users will receive the version of the software as soon as final tax forms
- are made available (anticipated release date of mid-January), user manual,
- and technical support (301/330-6090).
-
- We'd appreciate to hear from you even if you don't select qTAX for your tax
- preparation. Your comments will help us improve the software.
