     The TAX-FILE software is a very complete TAX RECORD KEEPING system.
It enables a person with very little effort to collect records of income
and expenses and to assemble them in quick fashion in order to prepare
yearly income tax forms.

     The TAX-FILE requires that the user have available a copy of
dBASE II (copyrighted by Ashton-Tate).  At the "." prompt simply enter
DO MENU <RETURN>.  You will be taken directly into TAX-FILE.  It is
best to use TAX-FILE with a hard disk as the .DBF files grow large!

     The TAX-FILE makes use of the "MENU" approach for entering and
editing data.  It also has several built-in reports.  ESSENTIALLY, IF
THE USER ENTERS ALL EXPENDITURES AND INCOME INFORMATION ON A REGULAR
BASIS (i.e., daily or weekly at least), AT THE END OF THE TAX YEAR THE
DATA NEEDED TO PREPARE YOUR RETURN CAN BE GENERATED BY JUST "PUSHING
THE BUTTON!"  Relatively little time and effort, other than to write
the numbers on the tax forms, must be expended at "tax preparation time."
