(Prepares the new Trademark forms (new and revised TradeMarks) for filing with the Patent & Trademark Office. This easy to fill out, page-by-page WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) databasing forms program has on-screen forms that look exactly like those used with typewriters giving users a familiar interface. This stand-alone program (requires no other program to run it) has easy to understand 'click-on-buttons' performing all the program functions and a logical user interface which allows even a first time user to glide through the process in minutes. The program databases the forms (complete or partially done) allowing for archiving, re-editing, or re-printing at any time and it can store more than 5,000 completed filings.)

NEW! MacForms has recently announced the availability of IRS Form 706 (United States Estate Tax Return) and IRS Form 709 (United States Gift Tax Return) for the Macintosh platform. Like the MacForms Federal Bankruptcy program, the user brings up the forms on-screen and fills in the various schedules. The math is accomplished and schedule balances forwarded to the tax summary pages. The actual bottom line tax is computed automatically with a minimum of fuss.

(FormMaestro is an "incredible forms library" of Judicial Council, local (county), Worker's Comp, Bankruptcy, Federal Civil, IRS, FTB, INS, HUD, PTO, Copyright, UCC and others. This product is not per-se a Macintosh product. However, since all it is is a huge collection of forms in the a TIFF graphic format, it is possible to use Claris Works (which is prerequisite), in conjunction with the shareware program GraphicConverter to translate the forms into the PICT format, enabling you to open them, fill in the blanks, and print using Claris Works. Gomberg’s JCF Systems DOES NOT provide technical support for Macintosh users. However, if you e-mail the Webmaster of this site (CLICK HERE), making it clear that you want further instructions on how to accomplish this, you will be sent instructions on how to use this product with a Macintosh if you have the above mentioned software. This product may be worth the slight inconvenience to set it up to work on your Mac, as the price is dirt cheap for such an amazingly comprehensive collection of forms.)

(The Eviction Forms Creator for California creates the various forms required to evict tenants legally through California courts. This forms database is created in FileMaker Pro. Information need be entered only once, and then it&146;s used repeatedly to fill out all the forms. The forms begin with the legal notices designed to alert tenants to the owner's intent to evict, and they end with the Writ of Execution, which gives the sheriff or marshal the authority to turn the tenants out and return possession of the property to the rightful owner. Every form which is standardized throughout the state, including the Judicial Council forms, is included. The Eviction Forms Creator works equally well for landlords who handle their own evictions and for trained professionals who handle clients evictions.
PLEASE NOTE: Eviction Forms Creator has been updated to reflect the Judicial Council forms which were revised as of January 1, 1997. It includes twice as many forms as the previous version, and it has the added advantage of being fully editable directly on the forms themselves. The price remains the same.)

(Pushbutton Landlording is a stand-alone computer program designed to help you automate the "income side" of your rental property management operations. It handles all of the bookkeeping chores you normally do to keep track of your rental properties and your tenants. It also does a whole lot more.

It creates rental applications, rental agreements, leases, and condition-and-inventory checksheets, and it creates them directly from the information in your tenant database.

It writes statements so you can remind your tenants when their rent is due. It writes rent receipts and produces income reports. It generates a list of those tenants who are late in paying their rent, whether they're one day late, four days late, or one month late. It prepares either a rent reminder or a "notice to pay rent or quit," whichever you prefer, and it prepares them automatically. It reviews your rents to help you decide whether you ought to consider rent changes. It prepares rent change notices automatically. It does maintenance requests and work orders and keeps track of maintenance costs. It enables you to write notes to communicate with your tenants or include in their files. It even tells you when the insurance is about to come due or is past due on your property. What's more, it exports income data into Quicken, the popular checkwriting program, so you don't have to learn another method for writing checks, nor do you have to enter income data twice. Pushbutton Landlording maintains extensive information on every tenant, and it retains that information until you decide that you don't need it anymore.)
