One kind of program that isn't available for Linux as far as I know is the equivalent of TurboTax. The trouble with income-tax programs is that they have to be updated every year, and no author of free software is going to make the effort to do that year after year. On top of that the details you have to deal with are details of IRS forms, not of programming.

It's good enough for your average citizen who only needs the eighty most common federal forms. The deluxe version costs about $10. State-tax supplements are less than $15 each.
