TurboTax is a particularly critical case because there will never be a Gnu version of it. No individual or group in the Gnu community would ever commit to updating the program annually in a major way to account for changes in the tax laws. Now if someone would bribe Intuit to come out with a Linux version ...
I also wonder if any other tax programs such as TaxCut (from H&R Block) will run under Wine.
I'm curious. In my country (Spain), our government distributes, free of charge, a program to prepare our tax forms - windows only, I'm afraid, and it doesn't run under wine, not yet. But our government also have a java app, that runs online, on any OS (or so they claim). Doesn't your government do a similar thing? I seem to understand from this thread that you have to buy that taxation software from private companies, is that so? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
