There seems to be no usable linux income tax software but 
http://www.taxactonline.com provides free software online for calculating, 
e-filing and printing US Income tax forms.  (Extra charge for state taxes, 
but often they only take a few minutes manually).

They claim you need Windows (95 or later) or Mac, but a linux list says 
you don't.  System requirements are also cookies, javascript, and java, 
and IE, Netscape, Firefox, Opera, or AOL (or Safari).

Has anyone installed the full-size Opera with java support, or Firefox 
with Java plugin?  I ran across many mentions of the java plugin failing 
to work.  Opera informed me that I would need motif to use any plugins.

I used a solar-powered calculator to do my taxes (instead of dc or the 
icewm or BL3 calculators for X).

I am surprised the US Gov does not provide free software online.
