IRS Tax Forms Available On Internet Feb 18 SUPERHIGHWAY REPORT HPCwire ============================================================================= San Diego, Calif. -- Maxwell Laboratories Inc. announced Monday that in collaboration with the Internal Revenue Service, it is pleased to provide federal and state tax forms, instructions and publications in electronic format on the Internet. These free forms may be downloaded to your personal computer or workstation using your Internet connection and then printed for use in filing your 1993 tax return. Tax forms may also be requested via Internet electronic-mail by mailing to "tax-forms('at')scubed.com" a message containing the words "begin send help end." The forms are returned by e-mail. Most commercial e-mail providers (CompuServe, Prodigy, America Online, Delphi, etc.) provide e-mail gateways to the Internet, allowing these users to also obtain the tax forms. William Proffer, a senior staff scientist at Maxwell and creator of the Taxing Times Internet information server, noted, "The immediate availability of all of the IRS and state tax products on the Internet avoids the last- minute rush to obtain forms and help for all those individuals and companies with access to the Internet." The IRS has provided all current IRS products (more than 700 in all) in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format). Additionally, Maxwell and the IRS are currently evaluating providing tax assistance via e-mail. The Taxing Times forms server, which also accepts Internet connections via World Wide Web clients, has available a number of forms in PostScript and TIFF image formats. In the initial two weeks of operation, the Maxwell server received more than 30,000 inquiries. The Maxwell Labs Internet server may be accessed using a World Wide Web client at URL: http://www.scubed.com:8001/. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
