TurboTax is about the only tax program that anyone will use.  Others just
give you gas.  Perhaps someone in big Linux (SuSE?) could give them a call and
ask them to compile the program in Linux?  It is bound to be written in 
C++, everything is nowadays.  Maybe the problem is the graphics?  Is there
a graphics converter from Windows C++ to Linux KDE C++?

PS:  I'm going to have to use a professional tax man this year, but I will be
back to Turbo Tax next year, I hope.  And perhaps on Linux.  Suse 9.2?
