[Discuss] Tax software

[George Farris]

Use Cutetax (www.cutetax.ca).  I have used them for years under Linux
and it works great.  Oh and send the dipsticks at Quicktax a note saying
why you left their service.

I sent an email to the Cutetax people five years ago saying how much I
appreciated being able to use Mozilla under Linux and they responded
saying they were a bunch of Linux guys as well.

Cheers
