My big win (in the making) is that I'm going to file my taxes completely offline. Working on the documents in isolated VM, using tax software offline, and sending paper forms wherever I can. Unfortunately New York state is not accepting paper forms, as far as I know...

cool, what tax software? (open source?)

Ha, I wish! It's H&R Block. But it works offline, I can download update files, and I'm not forced to online filing.

Unfortunately, seems that tax software is too complex for enthusiasts to start an open source project. And big tax filing corpos has no incentive to go open source.

It is super simple to set up and way less esoteric than it sounds. Very useful too.
