I have started reworking the tax documentation.  My current procedure is
to search the IRS documentation for each form/schedule and to use their
verbiage as closely as possible.  I am removing any references to
particular years and dollar amounts, so we won't have to update these
every year.

This is very tedious and I could use some help.  If you can help, pick a
form/schedule and post back to this list what you are working on, so we
don't have duplication.  When you have finished, please send back to me
only the modified table entries from xacc-txf-categories.html, not the
whole file.

IRS documentation is available in PDF format at:
http://www.irs.gov/forms_pubs/formpub99.html

in gnucash-1.4.9 CVS: doc/html/C/xacc-txf-categories.html

Hi,

I just took a look at the tax code documentation.  This looks like it
was copied from somewhere. (specifically,
doc/html/C/xacc-txf-categories.html)

This is great stuff, but are we violating any copyrights by copying
this stuff?  Last thing I want is to have Intuit try to shut us down
because we've included some of thier copyrghted material ...
