Phew! I just completed my US Federal return with H&R Block's online "Tax Cut" using FreeBSD 6.2 and Firefox and it worked reasonably well. They are not 100% standards compliant but close enough. This is the 3rd consecutive year I've used them. No flash required.

Don't try to load the page with lynx or links though :D. -Garrett
