Information about “UNCLE”

UNCLE provides analysis of four different possible tax strategies
simultaneously.  All four alternate form 1040s are on screen at the
same time.  This version even has an on-screen RPN calculator!  UNCLE
was professionally written for annuity and life brokers, and financial
planners; they had no method of properly interpreting and illustrating
certain obscure sections of the tax code, lacked computer savvy, and
who couldn't adequately illustrate the concepts of tax planning and
pension maximization.

The user projects taxes for the current year (to be prepared NEXT
year) using a full 1040 input format and then tries alternative
scenarios using four columns on a single screen (inputs need only be
entered once).  W-4 changes for one or two combined wage earners may
be calculated to correspond to whatever part of the tax is targeted
for prepayment and what has already been prepaid.  Pocket expense of
investment and paycheck changes are shown.

System Requirements: 256K, two disk drives and a monochrome/graphics
display

How to Start: Documentation is found in files PART1, PART2 and CALCKEY;
as it is written using PC-WRITE, if possible use that program to print
it.  To run: after loading DOS, enter INTRO or UNCLE and press <ENTER>.

Suggested Registration:  $40.00 (includes full manual, update of Tax
Analysis module and telephone support)

   UNCLE  FEDERAL TAX ANALYSIS SPREADSHEET (only)  u-s $75


UNCLE was professionally written for annuity and life brokers, and financial
planners, who had no method of properly interpreting and illustrating certain
obscure sections of the tax code, lacked computer savvy, and who had no fully
adequate method of illustrating the concepts of tax planning and pension
maximization. Many brokers have made large sums of money planning tax strategies
and illustrating state retirement systems using UNCLE.

The user projects his taxes for the current year (to be prepared NEXT year)
using a full 1040 input format and then tries alternative scenarios using four
columns on a single screen (inputs need only be entered once). W-4 changes for
one or two combined wage earners may be calculated to correspond to whatever
part of the tax is targeted for prepayment and what has already been prepaid.
Pocket expense of investment and paycheck changes are shown.

Tax data for unlimited cases may be saved to disk and recalled for later edit.
Currrently used intensively in commercial settings, UNCLE is no-nonsense,
extremely fast, powerful, and accurate. Most of the development effort has gone
into making the program user-considerate, with extensive error-trapping and
blooper-recovery provisions.

On-screen reverse polish calculator is provided. 256K RAM required, for IBM-PC
or compatible. Compiled BASICA.
