Intuit needs to get some Linux compatibility as well.

Mr.Bill might be paying them not to.
And not just Intuit, either.

Quicken and QuickBooks, of course, arguably
have a FOSS competitor in Gnucash (which I’m
going to try this year).

But TurboTax may not.

However, all of these are not computationally
intensive applications. There is no need for
them to be compilations native to specific
operating systems and ISAs.

If I were Intuit, I’d be looking at recoding
them in Java, so they’d run in a browser on
any platform.

And yes, TTax can be run in a browser today,
as long as you trust Intuit with your info.
Of course, if you don’t ya gotta wonder what
it shares when phoning home anyway.
