#261736 — OpenTaxSolver for US Federal tax: experiences?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I want to dump my Windows box. The main showstopper is my US tax programs.
I currently use H&R Block.

I just discovered there is at least one Linux version out there:
opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net.

Has anyone used it and can recommend it?

Thanks,

-Tom

Can you run your H&R Block program on top of wine?
https://appdb.winehq.org

If wine won't work, there is a company that sells an advanced version
of wine, and which contributes extensively to wine.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

Thanks, Charles.

Actually, I'm really interested in the OpenTaxSolver. I don't like H&R that
much, so I'm gonna try it in parallel with H&R Block's solution for tax
year 2022 and see how they compare.

You might want to take a look. And I wonder what Gene uses since he doesn't
run Windows!

Cheers, all!

P.S. I did read your address and visited them. Cool! Are any more articles
in the works? I hope so, and I hope to take advantage of the one on
encryting a backup disk to do partial live disk encryption.  I tried the
whole system encrytion once and it's a pain.

Well, after the WV code broke dynacalc around 28 years back, I went 
complaining to block, they saved me about what they charged. Having 
tangled with the irs and lost a decade before that, I said to hell with 
it and have let block worry about mistakes since.  And I sleep better.
