I'm about to start a small ecommerce business registered in the US. I have never filed taxes in the US. So I have no idea how filling would work.
I'm looking for a software that can work offline and generate a report in the end that can be uploaded to the IRS website (Or thats how I think that reporting tax works in the US. Sorry for my ignorance.)

If you're planning to do business with pirated software, then I'd recommend that you don't.
That being said, you might be able to find free and open source programs. Does that sound like a plan?

RobertX is exactly right. If you're planning to run a business using such software then you should really use legit software. It's okay if you're just downloading it to mess around with like for personal reasons say if you just wanted to see what it's like and have a look at how it works. In a professional situation and you're using it for real and paying taxes for real then I wouldn't recommend doing that at all as you risk getting into trouble.
I would say that if you downloaded a Pirate one then have a go and test it out and see what's what. Don't just buy it without at least giving it a go first. The good thing about pirating is that you can always have a sneak peek and see what you think of it and then if you like the whole design then go for it and get a proper licence and do it the legit way.

This is how I have done it:
Hire an accountant . Have him guide you through the steps of a tax filing for at least a year.
You need to learn the basics of *deductions*. Dont expect a computer program to give out these valuable tips.
Once you get the hang of it, you can do it yourself using prior filings as a template.
These days I download TurboTax every year, and just grab the hidden pdf tax forms and print them out.
Do NOT put any real data in the programs themselves. They are likely to phone home.
