Open Tax Solver - US Federal 1040 Personal Income Tax Return
------------------------------------------------------------

Included here is a program, template, and example for
US Federal 1040 personal income tax form.

The example*.dat file is included for testing.
The template*.dat file is a blank starting form for entering
your tax data.  For each filer, copy template to a new name, 
such as "fed1040_2009.dat" or "fed1040_2009_aunt_sally.dat, and 
fill-in the lines.

The program consists of two files:
  taxsolve_usfed1040_2009.c - main, customized for US Fed-1040.
  taxsolve_routines.c - general purpose base routines.

Compile:
  cc taxsolve_usfed1040_2009.c -o taxsolve_usfed1040_2009

Run:
  ./taxsolve_usfed1040_2009  Fed1040_???_2009.dat

... Where "Fed1040_???_2009.dat" is the name of -your- tax data file.
(Two tax-data files are included in OTS packages: an *example.dat
 and a blank *template.dat. The idea is to copy the template to a
 personally meaningful file-name and fill in the lines with your
 numbers. You can maintain returns for multiple people over
 multiple years this way.)
