A) You need to use a 32-bit wineprefix (like your original output showed you
using).
B) You don't need to run ie7, just Tax Act, to see if it now works.

So, in short, something like:
$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak
$ WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q ie7
$ wine TaxActSetup.exe # Install TaxAct
$ cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/TaxACT/TaxACT 2014"
$ wine TaxACT14.exe

then let us know if it still crashes or not (and attach the full output if it
does).
