  • Patent number: 8095436
    Abstract: A method for categorizing financial records involves obtaining multiple financial records from a financial institution. Each financial record in the multiple financial records is categorized using a category selected from multiple categories, where the multiple categories include multiple business-related categories and at least one non-business-related category. Each financial record categorized using a business-related category selected from the multiple business-related categories is mapped to a tax category selected from multiple tax categories, where the tax category is associated with the business-related category. A financial report is generated that includes the tax category for each financial record categorized using one of the multiple business-related categories.

  • Patent number: 7716094
    Abstract: An estimated tax reminder system generates and sends reminders to taxpayers of their estimated tax obligations. The system determines the estimated tax obligation for a taxpayer and receives filing status information for the taxpayer reflecting whether or not a payment has been made for the taxpayer. In an embodiment, a computer program product accepts payment instructions for fulfilling estimated tax obligations and carries out the instructions.

  • Publication number: 20060196930
    Abstract: A user records categorization information on a financial instrument used to conduct a financial transaction. A financial entity that handles the financial instrument processes the categorization information recorded on the financial instrument. The financial entity uses the processed categorization information to generate a report for the user. The financial entity stores the processed categorization information in an electronic storage for the user. The user then uses a financial management module to access the stored categorization information and to generate financial data.

  • Publication number: 20050144603
    Abstract: The specification describes a program used to optimize journal files such as metafiles used in the Microsoft® Windows® programming environment. The program steps through instructions from the original journal file and selectively emits the instructions to an optimized metafile using several optimization techniques. One such technique is to defer the emission of any state modification instruction until such emission is actually required by a subsequent instruction that is dependent on the state modification instruction. For instance, resource creation and selection instructions are not emitted until the specified resource is actually used. Another technique is to indefinitely defer the emission of any state modification instruction that would merely duplicate the currently existing effect of previously emitted state modification instructions.

  • Patent number: 5150484
    Abstract: A load bearing scaffold adapted to disperse load forces to interior room surfaces. The load bearing scaffold includes a pair of generally parallel telescopically adjustable horizontal beams. The horizontal beams are supported on at least one end by at least one pair of generally parallel vertical beams. The vertical beams are interconnected in spaced apart relation by at least one cross bar. The scaffold is assembled so that the vertical beams and cross bar abut against one wall while the horizontal beams abut against the ceiling and opposite wall. Articles may be supported by being suspended from the vertical beams or horizontal beams of the scaffold.
