Their attempts to scavenge data are feeble compared to our system where the fund companies send the data to us. One really has to wonder why anyone still wastes money on their inferior products.

September 2004 - TaxCalcUSA Announces Referral Bonus Program

Here is how it works.  Effective September 4, 2004, when you recommend a new AmeriCalc customer, you will be credited with a $20 bonus that you can use toward any future purchase.  Each time you send us a new customer your account credit grows.   Recommend 5 customers and receive $100 in bonuses.  If 10 new customers tell us you recommended them, you get $200.  There is no limit.  Just think, next year you could get all your software and forms for FREE.

Here is what you do.  Tell all your friends and colleagues about AmeriCalc.  When you come across someone who has not discovered this time saver (there are still a few out there), encourage them to buy AmeriCalc.  Ask them to give your name to our operator when they place their order.   If they order via our website, ask them to include your name and company name in the “Comments” field (even better than your name is your customer number).  That’s it.   We will keep track of your referral credit balance and automatically apply it to your next order.

Here are the details.  You must be an existing customer of ours when the new customer places their order.  The person or company you recommend must never have been a TaxCalcUSA customer.  Your credits can be applied toward the product price of any future purchase of anything we sell.  It can not be applied to the shipping and handling.  The credits applied to an order can not exceed the product total of that order.  Any remaining credits will be held in your account for your next order.  Credits not used in two years may expire.  This is a test program and we reserve the right to stop issuing additional referral bonuses at any time without notice.

September 2002 - TaxCalcUSA to sell Stevens Howard Books

We are pleased to announce that we have made special arrangements with Stevens Howard Professional Publishing to offer their books with U.S. Obligations and Municipal Bond information for mutual funds to our customers.  As you know, our AmeriCalc customers would never think of doing a tax return without it.  However, there are times when it would be nice to also have a hard copy on hand.  For this reason, we are frequently ask when we are going to offer the same type of high quality and timely data that our software has, in book form.  Today, that day has arrived.

The information comes in two books.  They can be purchased separately or together.   The first book, The U. S. Government Obligations Report, shows the percentage of income derived from U.S. Government obligations for over 3,800 mutual funds. Since U.S. Government interest is excludable from taxable income in every state, this report will help tax preparers quickly and easily take this important deduction on state tax returns.  The 2002 edition will be the ninth anniversary for this book.

The second book, The State Percentages For Municipal Bond Funds, presents the percentage of income derived from each state for over 1,200 municipal bond mutual funds. Since the portion of interest attributable to the client's state of residence is excludable from taxable income in nearly every state, this report will help tax preparers quickly, accurately and easily take this important deduction.  The 2002 edition will be the sixth anniversary for this book.

Both books come in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 format with spiral binding for easy handling.   For more information, click here.

July 2002 - New Capital Gains Tax for Massachusetts

It now appears official.  The Massachusetts legislature has approved a new "revenue enhanced" budget.  Despite some political volleyball remaining, it seems the new capital gains tax scheme is cast in concrete (though not fully hardened).

The tax compromise leaves the old rate reduction plan in effect through April 30, 2002 and establishes a new capital gains rate for transactions made on or after May 1, 2002.   The new rates are 12% for assets held one year or less and 5.3% after that.   The tax plan also holds the state income tax rate at 5.3%, reduces the personal income tax deduction and ends the deduction for charitable gifts.

Just when you thought that they could not make capital gains more complicated, they did.   The new plan essentially adds another category to the 5-4-3-2-1-0 for the 2002 tax year.  Because the transaction date is when the fund company sold the security, not when the distribution is declared, the gain on any stock or other asset sold by the fund during the first four months of the year will still have to be spread across the six categories, regardless of when the distribution is made by the fund.  Therefore, virtually every fund that declares a gains distribution at anytime during the year will have that gain spread across not just the old six categories, but also the new "seventh" category of 5.3%.  And you thought you needed AmeriCalc before.
