i'd try gnucash/kapital/moneydance first, but if they won't do what you want, turbotax does run under wine/crossover wine. (codeweavers.com)
i've heard really bad rumblings from some mailing lists that intuit (the turbotax/quicken people) building in a lot of nasty features into the newer versions of turbotax/quicken. most people i know are trying desperatley to move away from turbotax/quicken because of these changes. -- Fred Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Divided Sky Internet
I believe you are referring to the fact that this year's versions of TurboTax writes information to the bootsector of your harddrive (yuk) as part of product activation/DRM.
Here are some links to the articles and discussions on slashdot.
It's pretty scary stuff. A class action lawsuit has already been filed in California.
