To print this information on your printer type the following:
type readme.doc>prn
Please refer to these additional files for more IMPORTANT information:
LICENSE.DOC (for license and warranty information), and DOTAX.DOC. (to get a
start on your tax return).
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.
Thank you,
Self-Help Software, Inc.
