I personally find MoneyDance to be reasonably good and I have been using it for a number of years. In some cases where I have reported a problem, Sean Reilly got back to me quickly and solved the problem. Unfortunately there are only a few companies in the industry who produce tax software, and they only Windows and Mac compatible, or you can use the web interfaces. This type of software does not really lend itself to to Open Source.
