    Linux-friendly tax prep sites (US)

    I'm curious. Did anyone here in the states find a Linux-friendly tax-prep site this year? I hadn't given it much thought, but when trying to file this year I couldn't find a site that would accept input from a non-windows or non-mac computer. I waited until the last minute, so ended up having to file on my brother's WinXP driven machine. If you know of a good site, please post.
    THX!

    I used the TaxCut site this year without issue. I did get an error indicating that my browser/os configuration was not recommended, but it worked without issue. It wanted to see Windows OS with IE of course.

    I read an article about this recently:

    I have used TaxAct.com for the past few years in Linux using Firefox, and I have had no problems. Everything works that I have tried.

    But I didn't think US Citizens had to pay income tax? Surely it's unconstitutional in the USA?

    I also use Tax Act from Firefox on Linux. They don't even complain that I am in the UK!
