TaxGeek06c-Alerts

Note that each subsequent update for version 06c contains all files needed for prior updates for this version. In general, decompress the files and then over-write those provided with the original TaxGeek06c release.

• Form 1040 - Some rounding issues in calculating line 44 have been addressed. The correct tax-table values should now be showing up. This is a minor issue which resulted in errors of less than $1.
• libtaxgeek.js - For taxable incomes
  
  • less than $5, there is no tax
  • less than $15, the tax is $1
  • less than $25, the tax is $2
  • less than $3000, but greater than $25, there are $25 increments, NOT $50 increments. This has been corrected. In general, this meant an over-estimation of taxes (for those with low taxable incomes) in the vicinity of $2.50-$15.00.
• The child credit tax worksheet was *still* calling values from 1040 version 2005. The line references have been corrected and this worksheet is verified to be working correctly. At Last.

TaxGeek update1-06c released 2007-02-09

• 1) The child tax credit worksheet did not make it into the forms.js file which holds the new method of calling up forms. This has been fixed.
• 2) A regression error was discovered with forms.js in which upon switching projects, data from the old project could affect forms behavior in the new project under certain rare conditions. This has been fixed.
• 3) Forms 2106 and 2106ez were not calling up the help file for special deductions.
