I've done the typical Internet scrubbing and didn't find anything specific to tax software for Debian (something similar to TurboTax, for example).* I found a few interesting options but nothing in the official Debian packages.* Here's what I have so far as options (on-line versions), any insight into the most Linux/Debian-friendly one of these?* I live in the USA and run Lenny on the machine I"ll do my taxes with.


-taxact.com http://www.taxactonline.com/
-taxslayer.com http://www.taxslayer.com/

-taxgeek (looks a couple years old) http://taxgeek.sourceforge.net/

Thanks!

GnuCash (http://www.gnucash.org/) has some Income Tax related
features. Maybe useful?

I have been using TaxAct for several years. This year they made some
changes making entry much easier by providing an option for full screen
entry on many forms instead of question by question.

I've also been using it for 2-3 years. Last year they made some changes and
the web app. didn't work in my Konqueror anymore, but IceWeasel worked fine.

I haven't done mine, yet, this year. It's good to know their interface keeps
getting better.
