Daudt) Organization: Purdue University Lines: 28 The overwhelming EXCEL Tax templates recommendation that people are giving me is Heizer Software 1941 Oak Park Blvd. Suite 30 Pleasant Hill, CA 94523. (415) 943-7667 (800) 225-6755 For $35 (plus $5 handling?) you get templates for about 22+ IRS forms which produce printouts in IRS-acceptable format. For an additional fee, state tax forms also exist for California and New York. A free sample 1040 form from Heizer exists on SUMEX (available via anonymous login) which has limitted functionality--it is EXCEL-protected, and therefore cannot be linked to other worksheets (IRS forms). The purchased version is unprotected. One respondant recommended "a place near Philadelphia called EZ ware that makes superb Excel templates". He used their tax templates last year and plans to again this year. The company apparently advertises in all the Mac magazines. Someone also mentioned that BMUG had tax templates for 1986 for only $3, but he had no info about availability for 1987. If someone does has more info, please post. -Carl Daudt, Earth & Atmos Sci, Purdue Univ, W. Lafayette, IN 47907 (317) 494-5986 email: tyv@j.cc.purdue.edu -or- daudt@purccvm.bitnet
