Concrats! I dumped MickySoft like the bad habit that it is sometime ago. I 
don't know of a tax package that will run under Wine, and certainly there 
isn't one available for Linux - yet. I've been "working" on 1 particular 
author who DOES have the ability to write such software, but I can't get a 
positive answer out of him. :) Anyway, I used TaxAct this year - seems to 
work well enough on-line. Printed Fed. filing is free, and a printed state 
filing is just $7.95.
