I usually do mine on my own and mail them in.  It's beginning to get
more complicated though, so it really would be nice to have a Linux
supported tax preparation option.  At the very least, I have been
getting used to the flow of GnuCash, but that only helps me keep things
in order.

At one point the IRS was denying regular individuals from access to
their e-file protocol, but perhaps that has changed.  If so, it would
open up the possibility of free implementations.
