There is still a problem with the donation assistant portion. the following is what taxact support sent me. Also does anyone know how to update java for IE6.

Installing Java for Windows is a little tricky under Wine.  I recommend
visiting the Applications Database and reading the reviews for Java from
there. 

I do recommend using a separate prefix for installing both Java for
Windows AND IE6 if possible for testing purposes.

I will note that Javascript DOES not use any of the functions of Java.
