  MAG-C, the Software We Use
 
The MAG-C family of software from Bockmon Tax Systems contains 3 separate packages to prepare and submit
  files to IRS or SSA  (MAG-C 1099, MAG-C 1042, MAG-C W2).  

  MAG-C was produced inhouse for our own use, and it's also available for sale on this website.   MAG-C was
  designed for our requirements,  and is coded for speed and accuracy.  MAG-C is packaged with an installation
  program which sets up on the Windows desktop.  MAG-C runs well with Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.  

  All MAG-C programs print recipient copies in an IRS/SSA approved format.  
  1) Print to plain paper, use standard windowed envelopes, and save on print and
      mailing costs.
  2)  If you prefer to use preprinted forms, we can insert a print function designed for your form type.
       To do this, we need a sample of the form you will be using and/or the coordinate data for the form.

 CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU:
  Since MAG-C is produced from proprietary code belonging to Bockmon Tax Systems, we can offer customized 
  versions of the software to fit your needs. 

  For example, if you wish to enter 1099-MISC forms manually (data entry), and your report consists of
  "Nonemployee Compensation" amounts only:
  After ordering your software, send email explaining your special requirements.  We will send you
  a version of MAG-C 1099 which eliminates on-screen data fields, alowing  you to sequence your form
  fields in the fastest possible manner.  In this case, for each form added, you'd enter:
  Name, Street, City, State, Zip, IDN, Nonemployee Comp,...DONE.  This allows faster form entry,
  as you can enter only the data required, without sequencing through  nonessential fields.  
   Most Customized forms are available at your request for an additional $50, payable with invoice.

  Network Deployment
 
MAG-C is a desktop application, with no network-specific features.  However, it can be installed to a
  client-server or peer-to-peer network if certain precautions are observed.  Of particular concern is the
  possibility of file-clashing.  There is currently no built-in file protection in the MAG-C software coding.
  If two users simultaneously attempt to access a file, a system crash is likely to occur.  For this reason,
  it is strongly recommended that MAG-C, if installed on a network, be restricted to an individual user.
  Most MAG-C users require only a destop application.  Given sufficient demand, we can add the coding
  necessary to avoid file conflicts, making MAG-C more network-friendly.  Please contact us if you are
  interested in a network version of MAG-C.

MAG-C 1099
MAG-C 1099 allows you to prepare and file most IRS forms listed on the form 1096 (1099s,5498, 1098, W-2g) electronically. All calculations and transfers are automatic. Enter your data and  let the program instantly format your forms into files which can be submitted to IRS on diskette, or file it electronically. A data conversion utility (CVMAGC) is available to convert ASCII -delimited files for instant data import.

Combined Federal-State Filing  
 32 states now participate in
 this program. With MAG-C 1099, 
 form types 1099-M,D,G,I,O,P,R, & 5498
 can be filed once at the federal level 
 and IRS will release the information
 to the state(s). 

 To format a state record in the
 submission file, you must select this
 option during the format process, and
 state data must be present in the
 1099 fields.  

In order to participate in the Combined Federal/State Filing program, a test file
coded for this program must be submitted.
A hard-copy printout is not acceptable. A
test file is only required for the first year. Blanket approval will not be given to software packages. 

If your test file is accepted, IRS will send
you a form 6847. 

The payer must complete and return the Form 6847 before IRS will release the tax information to any of the participating states. A separate form is required for each payer.

Bockmon Tax Systems is approved for fed-state filing, and we offer this service to our clients.

Conversion Utility CVMAG-C
Most accounting, spreadsheet, and other programs allow you to export your data to a file in ASCII-delimited format.  This utility will convert your ASCII-delimited files to the MAG-C format for all forms.  This can save enormous  data-entry time. Order the conversion program (CVTMAG-C) if you'll be extracting your data.
Converts W-2 and 1099 files only.  Not available for 1042.

Sold separately to your advantage.
Ordering CVTMAG-C can be a  bargain.  Many tax years, tax form data will not change.  In these years, there's no need to purchase a current version.  After your initial purchase, contact us the following year to see if your version is valid for the form you are filing.

program self-installs to your Windows platform.  MAG-C has also been approved for use with OS/2 Warp and will run in Linux using DOSemu.  MAG-C is designed for use on a single computer, but easily adapts to network environments.
