TaxACT 2006 ( free download from http://www.taxact.com ) works "out-of-the-box" with 0.9.28. Checking for program updates and electronic filing "hang" with 0.9.29.
When 0.9.29 hung up on me, I removed it and re-installed 0.9.28 and was able to connect and file my tax return.
We had the same problem with Google Earth, and Rob Shearman kindly provided a fix: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2007-January/029362.html Could be the same problem you hit. If so, it's already fixed in cvs. - Dan

Have not tried compiling wine myself yet, but may give it a try this weekend to see if that solves it. Obviously can't try e-filing again, but if checking for updates connects ok, then that might be the fix.
Watching the modem lights, it seemed to be trying to connect several times and just not succeeding. In any case, will make an entry in appdb that TaxACT works with 0.9.28 but not 0.9.29 in case anyone is looking for tax software that works with wine.
What might be a rough time frame for 0.9.30 to be out, so I can test it with that? (I have an old slow machine, so that may be simpler, but I have been meaning to look into git to see how that works. )

They come out roughly every two weeks, so another week or so...

Compiling from git this morning, am able to successfully check for program updates. Problem fixed before I knew there was a problem!
Wonderful, can't check e-filing again, but I would guess that this connection problem is fixed also.
Thanks for your responses.
