I do my taxes with TurboTax in a Windows VM. I use qemu / kvm, managed
by libvirt, using the virt-manager GUI (and for other VMs as well).
Unfortunately, I don't know any simple guide to get started - everyone
talks about how easy it is, but there are numerous gotchas that will
frustrate you until you get used to them - but it does work
beautifully once you get the hang of it. Feel free to ask questions!
