OpenTaxSolver (OTS) is a free program for calculating Tax Form entries
and tax-owed or refund-due, such as Federal or State personal income
taxes. An optional graphical front-end exists, OTS_GUI. TaxSolver has
been updated for the most recent 2006 tax-year for: US 1040 and
Schedules A, B, C, & D, and State-Taxes for California and North
Carolina. Updating is now underway for the following 2006 State tax
forms: Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio, New York, and
Pennsylvania State Taxes. The Candadian and Ontario forms were updated
for the 2005 tax-year. Similar coverage is planned for 2006 as in
previous years. Special thanks to all contributors.

Tax Code is best known as "the Linux of tax software". Tax Code for
taxpayers is a free, secure, ad-free alternative to consumer tax
preparation software like TurboTax, TaxCut, and TaxAct. For tax
professionals, Tax Code replaces expensive software packages like
ProSeries, TaxWise , and Drake. Tax Code that allows preparers to
prepare every tax form and e-file it where possible, as well as take
advantage of popular practice management techniques. Under the hood,
Tax Code is a set of XML technologies that enable a taxpayer or
professional tax preparer to prepare tax forms and e-file prepared tax
forms to the appropriate government agency. Government agencies can
also use Tax Code to offer services to taxpayers.
