  • Publication number: 20190172154
    Abstract: The present invention provides a processor for real and quick payroll and tax documents through a computational hardware processor. Tax information and personal information are inputted through the processor. Then payroll and tax documents of tax, payroll payment, tax withholding, withholding report, and tax return are processed and displayed through the processor. Real payroll and tax documents are obtained quickly when real information is inputted or adjusted. Then the two existing tax systems for employers to estimate income taxes and for employees to collect related estimations with tax returns can be improved to reduce significant tax processing time and costs. The two existing tax systems have about 13 months apart. We have developed the processor to use a linear and gradual (LG) tax rate system with filing period factor (F) and tax status (S) numbers recently.

  • Patent number: 9911160
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tax payment system and method for accurate payments, which transfer accurate withholding tax payments from taxpayers to governments and accurate payroll payments from employers to employees with accurate employee information. Current Tax Schedules, Tax Tables and Tax Computation Worksheet are combined together for their simplification with related linear and graduate formulas. Accurate information of income tax payments, withholding tax payments and employees or businesses can be reported to the IRS or a state government by January 15 or February 15 with adjustments. Then governments can be ready to verify and/or inspect tax returns before sending out tax refunds. Therefore potential tax theft crimes could be reduced significantly or avoided to save billions of dollars.

  • Publication number: 20170236220
    Abstract: The present invention provides a linear and gradual (LG) tax rate system with a tax processor for tax software products. Existing two tax systems of federal individual Tax Schedules and Tax Table/Tax Computation Worksheet are simplified and combined into one LG tax rate system. The tax processor and software product are designed for taxpayers (employees, employers or self-employments) to file tax returns, for employers to do payroll to employees and transfer withholding taxes to governments or for governments to inspect tax returns by comparing tax withholding reports and tax returns according to related standards instead of existing random selections. Differences of taxes, tax rates and taxable incomes are set at low, mid and high levels for tax return options, quick tax refunds, regular inspections and detail audits to reduce tax returns and potential tax crimes and save tax processing time and costs (billions) for businesses, individuals and governments.

  • Publication number: 20130204758
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tax simplification table product to convert all Tax Table and tax calculations into the simplification table product with filing status, taxable income, tax rate formula, tax rate range check, tax rate and tax calculations together. Tax rate formulas are connected with filing statuses. A calculated tax rate is examined and compared with its correct tax rate range, which avoid or reduce calculation mistakes. Related calculations are done automatically or manually. Automatic calculations are done by a calculator or computer software product. Manual calculations are done by paper work easily. Existing Tax Tables from federal and local governments are not needed. The Tax Tables are replaced by tax rate formulas. The tax simplification table product simplifies the existing government tax systems and save time and cost significantly for individuals, corporations and governments.

  • Patent number: 8380622
    Abstract: A transfer network system for providing communications between commercial buyers and suppliers and their respective banks is provided. Client systems in communication with the transfer network system operate under a secure legal and technical regime in order to provide an architecture that supports the exchange of messages to conduct commerce. This commerce may include instructions related to the transfer of funds directly from an account of the buyer to the supplier. Because of the secure legal and technical framework, this financial transaction can be conducted in real-time and finalized in real-time without the need for delay or the use of clearinghouse to settle the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20110208961
    Abstract: A method for secure data transactions over a computer network is described. In one embodiment, the act of generating at the first party a document, which authorizes the data transaction to proceed is performed. In one embodiment, the document content is signed using a computer network with audit-level encryption digital certificates. In one embodiment, a signed digital message (and/or document) is sent from the first party to the network transfer system electronically, and can be authenticated via the ICN certificate authorities to demonstrate the authorities of the signer of the signed document in assent to the transaction. In one embodiment, a copy of the signed digital document can be stored in a database associated with the transfer network system. In one embodiment, the system uses rules (patterns) of exchange agreed upon within and between organizations. These rules enable the exchange to progress smoothly and drive systematically the attention of participants to demands and problems etc.
