MODELING MODE

The modeling mode is used to simulate a transaction. It is used to check name availability, filing fees and taxes. The following are the screens and a description of what they do: MFM Initiates the modeling mode function. You must use this screen to

perform any modeling function. MDF = 1DF Initiates a modeling mode transaction. Use this to calculate filing

fees. MDM = 1DM This displays the document filing maintenance. MFD = 420 this shows the fee detail. You must go to this screen from the

MDF screen. M05 = 505 This displays the current tax due (enter date is applicable). M10 = 510 This displays the tax detail. M11 = 511 This displays the tax history. M20 This is used to change the status and status date to obtain taxes to

merge or dissolve. M21 This displays the Stock Amendment List. M30 = 530 This is used to file an Annual Report. M31 = 531 This is used to enter the issued shares and assets to calculate taxes

on the alternative method. M35 = 535 This screen displays the tax calculation detail. Use this screen

after any modeling update to view the tax calculation detail. M40 = 540 This displays the interest calculation. M50 = 150 This displays the legal filing history. Helpful Hints: Once a transaction has been performed on a file number, you must change the file number or sign off before performing another transaction on that file number in the modeling function. View all related modeling screens prior to exiting the modeling function. Once you have exited the modeling function, data pertaining to that transaction is no longer available. When calculating a tax due balance, file the annual report first on the M30 screen, then enter issued shares and assets, if applicable, on the M31 screen. You can view the tax detail on the M35 screen. When calculating taxes to dissolve or merge, go to the M20 screen, change to appropriate status and change status date to the effective date of filing. You can view the tax detail on the M35 screen.
