For the past few years, I've used Linux with TaxAct.com. Last year, I was using Debian Etch with Iceweasel. This year, I'll be using Debian Lenny with Iceweasel. Free online Federal tax return and free electronic filing. No problems. |

Agreed. As noted on the other thread, we've used it the past two years with no problems. Two wingtips up. |

I use an accountant. |

> I use an accountant. Accountants cost money. When you don't itemize, TaxAct is a better deal. |

I compared TurboTax and TaxAct last year. TurboTax found me ~$350 more in refund than TaxAct. TurboTax does have that nasty we-don't-support-your-configuration warning up front, but I ignored it and it worked just fine. |

> TurboTax found me ~$350 more in refund than TaxAct. As noted above, we don't itemize, so there shouldn't be any difference for us. TurboTax probably does do a better job with complex returns, but then as Bob noted, if your taxes are that complex, you're probably better off with a real accountant. |

@NoDough It is good to know that you were able to push past the middle finger screen in Turbo Tax this year. @Bob_Robertson and @jdixon Do your accountants use Freedomware by any chance? ;) :D |

Well thanks to you guys, if you have your ad blockers turned off you would see the TaxAct ads at the top of the page now..lol. |

> Do your accountants use Freedomware by any chance? ;) :D We've only used an accountant one time, when my wife's mother passed away and we had to worry about estate taxes, life insurance, et. al. That would have been in 1996, so I doubt he did. |

@Scott_Ruecker LOL |

@Scott, 1 ad in a bazillion or so ... I think the ad blocker stays on. |
| NoDough Feb 01, 2009 8:11 PM EDT |
I'm with you, Az. |

The LXer ad feeds are unobtrusive. Not like sites that make you click past full-age ads just to get to the articles, and then 80% of the screen is taken up by more ads. For shame, ye freeloaders! |
| NoDough Feb 01, 2009 8:21 PM EDT |
It's not like I would click on the ads anyway. |

Quoting:and then 80% of the screen is taken up by more ads. You mean, like Garfield's site? http://kronika-paranoika.jogger.pl/files/www.garfield.com.pn... [Well, not everything's an ad, but it's a sad sight nonetheless] |
