Okay, it's taken me awhile, but I fixed up the 1040 tax form and a few others in the same workbook. None but the very simplest worksheets are complete (e.g., if you're self-employed, you might have to add a couple more lines to the 1040), but it's not like you have to create the worksheet(s) from scratch. I'm fairly certain that all the formulas are correct, but of course I'm not guaranteeing anything. Standard disclaimers apply (e.g., I'm not a tax advisor). I'm just hoping that the work I've done will be useful to others. Download it here:
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=158787> I selected this site because, with its concentration on gnumeric, it seemed most appropriate and the second webpage I read there specifically requested 'workbooks that provide functionality gnumeric should have' (or words to that effect) which pretty much described where I was going. This isn't to say that workbook will always be there on gnome.org; I hope it will be, but it hasn't actually been accepted there yet (since I uploaded it about an hour ago), but I tested the link above just now and it worked. So have at it if you want.
