As far as I know, there's no native Linux tax software that can file 
electronically.. if there's even any tax software at all.

For many years I've used TaxAct in a virtualbox/vmware. That worked fine. 
TaxAct online should be fine too.

Last year I had a huge mixup so I had to use an actual CPA. This year even 
though everything's back to normal I figured I'd use a CPA /and/ do TaxAct 
online, and compare the two. My taxes are pretty simple and 
straightforward, really, but the CPA got me a bit more money back. This 
amount pretty much lined up with how muc moer the CPA cost than TaxAct 
did, but it came wth the piece of mind of knowing I didn't do ANY of the 
number-work.
