How do you do taxes in Linux? Install a windows VM? I don't want to use the web version. With Google docs being good enough, I don't really need windows for anything else. Last time I checked, the tax software didn't run under wine.

In years that my taxes are simple - I open up my browser and go to FreeTaxUSA. In years that my taxes are complex - I pay a CPA. What do you use?

Personally I’m fine using the web version. If you arbitrarily cut out solutions, you will be sure to find unsolvable problems.

Where do you need windows to do your taxes? Is this a US thing?

What tax software are you running? Basically all of the tax software for individuals is a browser-based SaaS.
