I have also used taxact for many years and have found it fast and easy 
(Debian Lenny and Firefox 3.6).  I've looked for a Debian alternative 
but as yet have not found one.  Gnucash is a bookeeping system with tax 
tracking, but it won't file your taxes for you.  For free on-line 
federal tax filing solutions check with irs.gov they have many options 
available
