       This points out an interesting opportunity. Got me pondering what libre tax software would be best for the IRS to provide.I'm thinking that a machine readable decription of the forms, and of the necessary invariants (from the tax law), in the form of a library would be most useful.The IRS could run a website on top of that sure, but that data is the hard part of building anything in this area, and if it were available as free software there could be a lot of innovation in the space.I'm curious what if anything other countries provide in this area.https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/call-on-the-irs-to-provide-libre-tax-filing-software

       @joeyh France just provides a basic website with a bit of guidance on some entries, most things are also prefilled when possible.
