Open Tax Solver includes at least the IRS Schedule C. It does not have the IRS
Schedule F, but since Open Tax Solver (https://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/)
is FOSS, there is nothing stopping you from contributing the code to implement
IRS Schedule F. The only thing missing from OTS, is handling of form 4562
(Depreciation and Amortization). This is a bit tricky, so I am not sure how to
properly handle it without creating a messy UI. The online filing services use
a horrible HTML5 song and dance (asking about each asset one by one), when I
would really just want to upload a CSV file of assets.  I have written a CLI 
program in Tcl that processes a CSV file of assets.
