I’m wondering if the open source work that was released can be built out in a way that we could still generate tax forms to send in.
It’d take some effort to make sure it’s following current tax code however:

Fellow non-USians: no they don't have to pay their government for the privilege of being allowed to file their taxes. "For free" here means "without the help of a tax accountant (and online)". I was SO SO SO confused.
Edit: tax adviser? tax agent? some person who knows taxes.
So you can't file your taxes online? That's insane. Muricans need to get rid of this dude asap.
This has been the status quo for many years. Direct file with the government was released within the last few years, which is what Trump is killing.
Historically, you've had to pay someone like Intuit, H&R Block, or a local tax accountant to walk you through filing. Third parties that will all charge you a couple hundred dollars for the privilege, though the big firms will have online filing. You could also file purely by paper and mail, if you're a psycho (confident that you won't make audit-able mistakes).

intuit, and HR BLOCK have been lobbying forever to prevent it, they succeeded.
i haven't invested in intuit out of spite (former tax accountant here, the term you're looking for is tax professional as there are too many worthless certs) but i'm really curious how much krasnov did. now the "easy" way to file in the US is turbotax, which is fine if you know how to answer the (intentionally obtuse) questions, which most people don't. Now it'll cost everyone at least $75 unless they raise their prices, which they will.

I doubt Trump has ever paid tax in his life
I wonder how would MAGA respond to it 🤔
These idiots take their single w2 to the H&R table at Walmart and give them a third of their return. It doesn't affect them.
(I'm making up the third, I have no idea what they charge)
Why the fuck are any of us paying for this‽
Because at least one of:
You literally cannot imagine any otyer arrangement of human organization. Blame being ground down by The Horrors, the death f humanities education, or just you sucking. Whatever causes it, you can only imagine begging the manchildren in washington to be less mean.
You think laws are magic spells
You are afraid of men with guns who are the state. You don't have enough solidarity with your neighbors to believe you can fight rhem.

It's okay guys, because of that bill we saved 0.00005% of federal spending and our tax breaks only increased the deficit by like 2,631.58% resulting in 50 Trillion USD debt by 2032. You're welcome. /s
