counting professor, said that
electronic filing is not necessary
for those who have fairly simple
tax returns and access to a per
sonal computer.
“You can go into almost any
bookstore and buy a PC-based
1995 tax package for somewhere
between $29 and $49 that is up
datable every year,” Nixon said
“It prompts you, fills out the
form for you, and makes sure
that you don’t make any mathe
matical errors.
“It provides you with a com
pletely filled-out tax form ready
to send to the IRS, so you really
don’t have to know much about
taxes to file.”
Nixon said that if people have
only their own incomes to clak
it should take no longer thanld
to 15 minutes to complete theii
tax forms.
The IRS has a page on the
World Wide Web where people
can find earned-income credit
rates and tables and answers to

Southern states, or retreat and
make one last-ditch effort in
South Carolina, which holds
the first Southern primary on
March 2.
At one point, Gramm said he
would end his campaign if he did
not finish in the top three in
Iowa, but backed away from the
statement in the weekend before
the Iowa caucuses.
New Hampshire held little
promise of a rebound for
Gramm. He has lagged in the
single digits in the polls, behind
Dole and multimillionaire pub
lisher Steve Forbes. In recent
weeks, . commentator Pat
Buchanan and former Ten
nessee Gov. Lamar Alexander
have been vying for the third
spot here while Gramm’s nuna
hers have remained stagnant.
With moderates leaning to
ward Dole, Forbes or Alexander,
Gramm has been left to compete
with Buchanan for the smaller
bloc of social conservatives in
New Hampshire.
While Buchanan has re
mained loyal to New Hamp
shire, Gramm angered many Re
publicans by failing to rebuke
efforts by Arizona and Delaware
to encroach on New Hamp
shire’s first primary.
Gramm gave no inkling of his
impending decision during s
speech earlier Tuesday at a Con
cord business luncheon, where he
attacked Buchanan’s protection
ist stance on trade.
“We have let errant nonsense
and second-rate thinking pass as
real thinking and real policy on
this topic,” he said.
Gramm can’t blame a lack ol
money for his poor showing. He
had raised $25 million coming
into the campaign, but critics say
he has not used his money wisely'
