If anyone's considering it, it looks like e-tax will work perfectly under Wine v1. I just lodged my 2008 tax return using e-tax - using one of the XP virtual machines i've got running under VirtualBox on my Fedora 9 system. It did occur to me to try and use wine, but i didn't want to risk it stuffing up halfway through. I'd never used e-tax before and didn't really know what to expect. However, i wish i had used wine now, as e-tax appears to work ok with it. After i lodged my return, i thought i'd have a go at installing e-tax in wine - and that went smoothly. I can open my saved e-tax file and do everything with it that i'd expect to be able to do under windows. The only thing i haven't been able to try was actually lodging it, but given the faultless operation of all the other functions, i'd guess that will work.
