gnucash is an excellent finiancial management program.  It reminds me of 
quicken.  As for games, most the top games are also for linux, and those that 
aren't for linux ie half-life, run flawlessly under wine.  I have even had 
success with Zoo Tycoon, a Microsoft game to run almost perfectly under wineX 
www.transgaming.com (WineX is wine with directX support).  The Sims is now 
also available for linux.  I think Mandrake teamed up with wineX for this 
one.  As of turbo tax, i think your best bet is wine.  'If that doesn't work 
you can always use emulators www.trelos.com or www.vmware.com
