Open Source Tax Products?

sub7 asks: "That time of the year is upon as again: Tax Season. Those of us living in the U.S. are busy fumbling with various forms with awkward names and meaningless garble on them. Being a lazy BOFH, I went to H & R Block to see how much it would cost for them to prepare and file my taxes. They estimated -at least- $175, if not more! I knew it was cheaper to buy some software to handle my taxes. So I headed down to my local office supply conglomerate and picked up Turbo Tax 2004 Premier for $69.99. Being an OSS user for nearly 6 years I have never even considered an OSS tax solution product (probably because I ph34r t4x s34s0n!). So I turn to Slashdot to ask: Are there any projects equivalent to Turbo Tax or the other tax products out there for the OSS community?"

    STFU, you slack-jawed, celebrity watching, People magazine reading, mouth-breathing, voyeuristic, drooling simpleton. What Jackson is alleged to have done is so mild compared to what happens THOUSANDS of times to children every day.

    Why people are so fascinated and invest so much energy going after Jackson when there are much, much more egregious things going on is beyond me.

    That's not to say that Jackson should not face concequences, but the millions of dollars and thousands of hours invested on going after this guy are pissed away when there is much more serious child abuse so rampant.

    Umm... why such a smart ass? You couldn't just say, "Take a look at these OSS projects" ? Oh, that's right; I'm reading Slashdot... nevermind, I should expect this type of bullshit ;)
