can the performance of a program be improved by using multithreading in it?
can the performance of a program which calculates individual tax return be improved by using multithreading in it?

1, yes. able to create more than 1 thread speeds up processing
2, depends how complex is our tax return? I can't imagine it being so complex you'd need a super computer to calculate it. I just filed my first 1040A. H&R block made it really easy.

Most computations involved in calculating a tax return are sequential (i.e. based on the result of a previous operation) so it's unlikely that you'd improve performance much with multithreading. More than likely it would actually slow down if you didn't setup the threads properly and they all ended up waiting on each other (this is very easy to do by accident).
