Thanks for the pointer, Lonni. I just did a dry run of my taxes on
this service from Firefox, and it works like a charm. Unlike many free
services, taxactonline handles capital gains, business profit/loss,
and depreciation. I didn't come across anything that made me feel I
needed to cough up the (extremely) modest fee to get the expanded
version. Another benefit is that it calculates the proper tax with
capital gains. The calculation of tax with capital gains in the IRS
publications is about as easy to understand as Sendmail configuration.
