There are, in fact, 1040 tax planners out there for 2003!

2003 tax programs aren't out yet, but estimated tax
calculators for the 2003 1040-ES DO exist. Some of those
have been updated for the new tax law.

I believe that TaxACT has released their 2003 "preview" editions,
but I won't vouch for how perfect the AMT calculations are at
this time. You can probably score a free evaluation copy at
www.taxact.com. Also, there is an unofficial TaxACT user group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TaxACTors/.

Bill: There is a FREE spreadsheet program that will
compute your tax for 2003 and display all the computed lines
of the 1040, 6251, Schedule D and its Worksheet, etc.
Download it at http://www.edcosoft.com/qitc.html and open
the zipped file qitc_dem.xls in Excel97 or later. The
registration is only required if you want it to compute
Annualized Income Method installments. There are estimaters
at various tax sites ( H & R Block and probably TT) that
will now compute 2003 taxes, but they don't show the
calculations, and I think TaxAct has a free tax program that
is functional now, but it won't show the computed lines and
the free one may not be complete enough for your situation.

Default Need 2003 Tax program for AMT

It finally struck me that with the lower top income tax
bracket and the 15% cap gains and dividend bracket there are
going to be a lot of people closer to the AMT. I still have
time to do some planning before Dec 31, but according to the
Turbo-Tax web site, Turbo-Tax 2003 won't be released until
Dec. Are there any tax programs or calculators for 2003
available now. Figuring AMT is to complicated to just wing
it with estimates. -bill
