MFTC:  Mutual Fund Tax Calculator
----------------------------------

16-bit edition

for Windows(R) (v3.1 or greater)


v2.1


a product of RCCO Research


(CD-ROM distribution release)



MFTC:  Mutual Fund Tax Calculator (MFTC) provides a facility for determining
tax cost of redeemed shares (full or partial) in one or more mutual fund
accounts.  The program computes dividends, capital gains distributions,
redemptions, and purchases on an average-cost basis.  It is meant to provide
a simple, non-technical method for those mutual fund accountholders who must
file Schedule D (Capital Gains & Losses) on IRS Form 1040 to cover their
fund redemptions during any tax years.

When a holder of shares in a mutual fund redeems any portion of shares in
the account, the IRS requires that holder to file Schedule D and list not
only the date of redemption and the redemption amount, but also the date of
acquisition and the exact cost of those shares (full and fractional)
redeemed.  MFTC is meant to assist the shareholder in making the
determination of cost along with a record of the needed dates.  Since shares
are often purchased and distributions reinvested at different times at
varying Net Asset Value (NAV) figures, a system of determining average share
cost basis (along with other recordkeeping) may be advantageous for the
account.  MFTC may be used with any number of fund accounts and works with
both equity and bond funds that are purchased in full and fractional shares.
Once the cost of the redemption(s) during the tax year(s) has been
determined, it is relatively easy to ascertain the gain or loss incurred
for each redemption and make the appropriate entries as required on the
Schedule D tax form.

Fund tables may be viewed/edited in either Form or Table view.  An 
easy-to-use single-button selection for the Report Writer prints formatted
tabular reports for fund tables.  Complete documentation is available
online as well as in Windows Write/WordPad format.

There are several new features implemented in v2.x of MFTC:  Record Number
Indicator in both Form & Table Views, Edit/Non-Edit Cell indicator in
Table View, Detail View window available in Table View, enhanced data
entry error messaging, system information functions, expanded menu items,
MRU (most recently used) fund table list on the File Menu, context-sensitive
help, significant documentation revisions, etc.

The unregistered copy is fully-functional as to the features and components
found in the registered copy; it allows creation of as many fund tables as
the user wishes in order to satisfactorily and fully evaluate the program.
The tables do have a reasonable limitation on the number of transactions
that may be viewed/edited in a table.  Any tables created with the
unregistered copy will be fully and immediately usable with a registered
copy.  The full registration fee is only $24.95.

Program specifications:  80386sx or greater, Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, 
2mb ram, 1.6mb hard disk space.

A companion product, MFTC32:  Mutual Fund Tax Calculator for 32-bit Windows 
is available from RCCO Research in a 32-bit edition.  It is similar to, but 
not exactly like, the present work entitled MFTC:  Mutual Fund Tax 
Calculator, 16-bit edition.  The two editions have different registration 
fees, due to the program sizes and number of disks involved for each.  The 
respective version numbers may also differ and should not be considered 
relative to the other edition.
