Hi all,

I'm running Mint Linux 17 at home.

Is there any client tax software that will install and run on Linux without WINE?

If not, is there online tax software that you've used and would recommend?

Thanks

Steve

I use TurboTax.  https://turbotax.intuit.com/

I also use Linux Mint KDE, and have never had any problems.

None that I know of for Linux  But ...

For the U.S: TaxAct ( http://www.taxact.com/ ) used to have an "online"
version that worked with any OS in a browser. Don't know if it still
does.

There are many on-line tax filing services that work with 'Any Browser'.

There is *also* Open-source Tax Solver (OTS):
http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ that will run 'natively' under Linux.

TasAct is much more than a simple filing service.  It is an intelligent
guided tax preparation suite that has as an option to file online. As I
understood the OP, this was what he was looking for.

Looked at this.   It is not guided tax preparation.  Just fill in the
forms software and calculate the results..  You still have to know what
forms you need and what you're doing.  Not an easy thing as U.S. tax
code is so convoluted and filled with so many exceptions.

What exactly are you trying to do?  If you just need to file online in
the US, you can try freefilefillableforms.com, a browser-based tax form
that can submit electronically.

If your income is not large you might be eligible for free prep software
(some of which is web-based).  Check out
https://www.irs.gov/uac/Free-File:-Do-Your-Federal-Taxes-for-Free for
options.

Country?

In mine, the government supplies tax software that does run in Linux.

Cheers, Carlos.
