For 401k I should add that the cash approach is the opinion of AMJA and non-Maliki madhabs. We could allow the user to select Approach #1 or Approach #2 like Bradord does in his book.

I also think we could actually break out Special Financial Accounts into another turbotax option selector (401k, IRA, HSA, FSA, 529, ESA, etc.) to reduce the content amount.

We also need to find a way to specify this idea "don't include this if it's already in your checking/savings" at a higher level in the calculator because it's re-written so many times.

We could make the rental equity an option for people too if they want, but I haven't found any scholar or source yet saying you need to do that... if you can show me one, I'm for it. The current logic is that the property is a tool of the trade, so you don't pay Zakat on it (plus it isn't sitting cash/inventory like in the CRI passive investments - it's generating economic value)

I HATE THE MAC EMAIL SENDING TOO! My brother didn't have it setup also.
