Best Tax Programs?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-yearly-question dept.

inf0c0m asks: "Now that tax season is upon us again, what sort of tax programs should I be trying out? I've done the tried and true Quicken before, but I was hoping something Open Source, or something that comes highly recommended from other Slashdot users. I've also done some independent contract work this past year, so something that is more friendly in that sense would be nice. Any recommendations?"

      ...and what exactly is a 'tax season' anyway? I can only assume it is some kind of US-centric thing

      You must live under one of those oppressive regimes that prohibit gun ownership.

      Here in the good ol' USA, we assign "seasons" to the various varmits we want to kill (mostly to prevent killing all the breeding stock, but also to provide jobs for the game wardens). In duck season, you can shoot ducks, and in buck season, you can shoot bucks (the male deer, not money). Similarly, in tax season, the well equiped hunters of the land set out to kill and maim the local tax population. It's really sort of odd that we don't just let them shoot them all, I for one would be happy if all the taxes in America became extinct.

      It was a joke, obviously commenting on how many (perhaps most?) people wait until the last couple of days.
      Don't you mean hours?
