I am trying to write a simple payroll program and I need to establish the tax
tables for each of the categories (i.e. Single, Married) etc. If I was to
create this using Schedule E, it would take me a year. Does anyone know if
there is one available? Would appreciate your help

I'm not familiar with tax tables but, if they are incremental, you could do
the following. Go ahead and set up your table in Access (just the fields),
then open it in datasheet view. Open Excel and type in the first line of the
tax table in the same layout that you just created your Access table. On the
next line, put in formulas that will calculate the next increment, then copy
the formulas down as far as you need to go. When you are done, click the
button between column A and row 1 to select the entire sheet...then right
click and select copy. While still hightlighted, right click again and
select Paste Special, then select Values and click ok. Select the entire
sheet again, right click and select Copy, then paste it into your Access
table. Hope this helps.

I used to be responsible for maintaining a payroll application, and my
advice to anyone faced with this task is to run, very fast, in the opposite
direction. It's a horrible job, and I was never so happy as when we finally
managed to get rid of it. You can get an off-the-shelf payroll application
for less than 100 EUR a year. Believe me, compared to the headaches of
developing and maintaining your own, they're giving them away.

There is no such thing as 'a simple payroll program'. That's a contradiction
in terms. Payroll is horribly, horribly complex, and governments around the
world are busily making it even more complex year-by-year.

It really is a wonder that any of us ever get paid at all.
