Minor problem - I'm in LeftPondia.

Please do.

The main problem my wife's employer is encountering is electronic filing
of tax data and tax returns. They have the major problem of doing
business in multiple countries (I know of .ca, .us, .mx, .gt, .ni, and
..cr, but there are more than that), but each of the LeftPondian states
and provinces (and quite a few cities and counties) have their own
extorti^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htax laws and customized forms.

I'm not really privy to all they're doing, but I know they are using
windoze packages from at least three tax service companies. They are
a retail company with stores (and worse, warehouses) in many different
places. Even keeping up to date with tax law changes is a windoze
based subscription service. In spite of being burned by the extra
data that can accidentally be included in microsoft Turd files, a
lot of taxing entities still publish their electronic publications
in microsoft formats. Sure, OO can handle a lot of this, but the
service providers usually wrap the documents such that you need
to be running their (proprietary) software to even view the documents.
Getting the documents directly from the taxing entities can be
restricted by licensing restrictions (they contract out the exclusive
rights to provide the electronic form to high bidder companies).

Old guy

Huge problem.

I'll let you know if it can handle different state and federal taxes
