New software aids taxpayers

A new Windows-based software package from 1099 Pro can help individuals and corporations cope with 1099 tax-form filing requirements.

The software provides graphical representations of all IRS 1099 forms. Users can import data from accounting software programs and can order their tax forms over the Internet. The program can also forward informational returns directly to the IRS mainframe computer.

You can download a free demonstration of the program, called 1099 Pro, at the company's Web site. After viewing the demo, you can opt to convert it to a fully functional version for $79.
