I agree with the previous poster. I've been using TaxAct.com with Linux for years. It works flawlessly, is easy to file with (even when I had a business doing consulting), is very low cost for state filing, and it provides excellent communication on the progress. In addition, they've never been hit with a security breach, unlike some of the other online filing sites. I can't understand why people use anything else. |

> I can't understand why people use anything else. Well, their free Windows version is nagware, but I've never had a problem telling people no when it comes to spending money. I also understand it works fine with Wine, so that's also an option. My wife and I have used it the past two years, and the free version meets our needs. We especially like that it gives you free electronic filing. All the others we looked at changed extra for electronic filing. |

I certainly would use it if I were preparing my own taxes, but it's been years since mine got too complex for that. Accountants earn their money at tax time. I'm quite pleased to see the processing moved online, instead of having it be performed locally. Not because I'm into "cloud" computing or whatever, but because I don't want to have to buy another set of software each year. |

I'm too lazy to search back through the threads and figure it out for myself...are any of you folks who are trusting your taxes to some remote online service provider the same ones who rail against "the cloud", because using "the cloud" cedes control of your data to an outside party? |

TC, Yep, I would fit that description. However, I consider the risk here somewhat mitigated as I keep copies of all my returns. I can go somewhere else whenever I please. Of course, there's nothing to mitigate the security risks. :( |

Yup, I'm guilty, your honor. |
