How did people go with submitting their income tax returns this year? I'd previously been able to use ATO's E-Tax program running with Wine on GNU/Linux. That didn't work for me this year though, so I decided to suck it up and submit it on paper instead. I've also made a start on a letter to the Tax Commissioner about requiring a proprietary operating system for submitting your tax return online. I'd certainly want to see E-Tax as free software eventually, but in the short-term, would settle for it being officially supported on GNU/Linux. If anyone is interested, I'm happy to send them a copy of the letter when it's done. Cheers, Ben
