The problem

Questions

Yes. Over $95,000 of gross business income the return is due even when the credit cancels the tax.
All of a tax of $3,400 or less, none at $5,400 or more, and a sliding share between.
No. It is the worksheet, the record and the gates.
The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.
The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.
An invented creator's $3,900 tax comes down to $975 with the credit - and the return is still unfiled.
