For the past two years I used easy-efile.com for my federal returns on
a Slackware linux box. They're $12.95, or $9.95 for returning
customers. They don't do Arizona returns,though, so you have to find
another service for those or do them by hand. It works just fine with
Mozilla as long as you allow pop-ups. They use pop-ups for help
windows. They haven't spammed me or anything.
Last year I got a list from the AZ Dept of Revenue (I think) of online
services that will do Arizona returns. I'm going to try one this
year.
