I used TaxAct last year and really like it. It's both web based and PC-based. Since I'm a UNIX bigot, I used the web-based version. It also remembers you from year to year. It can be found here: http://www.taxact.com/

This is really out of the blue, but if I use linux and want to do taxes with my computer with something like turbotax, does it work with wine? Is there a linux equivilant for it? Like I said, this is REALLY random. Thanks!

Sadly, folks, I don't trust putting information like this on the web. I would like a full blown version of TurboTax for Linux. I like the availability to have access to Electronic Filing. Sadly, this requires me to run either a Mac or to run Windows. This is the LAST application I need to rid my system of the Windows Virus.

If you're doing electronic filing, isn't your information being put on the net anyway?

Not that it may matter to most people on this list, but Intuit UK appear to have some financial problems - they have dumped Quicken for Winbloze, as well as TaxCalc with immediate effect, despite the fact that they only bought TaxCalc from the Consumers Association last summer. That only leaves Micro$haft's Money as a reasonable personal finance package within the UK. Looks like GnuCash have an opportunity to help OpenSource community to take on the UK personal finance market, if only the product would connect to the London Stock Exchange prices, I would willingly dump M$ completely.

This is off topic from the original posting, but you might want to check out Moneydance, which is java based and runs under linux:
I have not tried to track stocks with it, but it does mention:
"Moneydance can bring your investments into focus with support for tracking stocks, bonds, CDs, mutual funds, and more."
I also don't know if it will interface with the London Stock Exchange or not.
