Here in Poland the tax form is pretty much "here is what we know, re-type that into the form and add whatever is missing for deducations".

Which you can use free app to download, file and send the filed one.

weirdly enough official site also have instruction on how to use PlayOnLinux to run it under Linux

That is really interesting. I wonder if they considered Linux too late in development to shift to something platform agnostic, or just decided that Wine was reliable enough for them to depend on it.

It's interesting that anything other than MacOS and windows is even considered at all, even just in the instructions.
