I can see the EU funding it. This could be a measure to allow Blue States circumvent the federal system - a CaliTAX, AlohaTAX, ect. This would be vital during a civil war scenario, so that the Blue States can having working taxation systems without having to redo everything.
Direct File interprets the United States’ Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) as plain language questions, the answers to which should be known to taxpayers without need of external instructions or publications. Taxpayers’ answers are then translated into standard tax forms and transmitted to the IRS’s Modernized e-File (MeF) API, which is available for authorized public use
Well, you probably could. Issue is that you can’t self host the IRS. If they aren’t running the service that accepts the data there isn’t much you can do.

I wonder if this could be altered to work for other countries

Hurry up and clone that ASAP, this is gonna get taken down once DOGE realizes what it is
More likely they’ll just turn off or unpublish the API that it depends on.
Is that even available right now? Usually for this type of thing you need API keys, which are not included, nor available at all.
So before the API it still generates everything you need to mail in the forms?
Probably. It would need to be updated with new laws and rules though.
Recreating the API seems doable? If we can recreate dead MMO servers…

Are you comparing online game servers to the American tax system? Because I really want a ban.
What really pisses me off is that their anti-cheat forces me to use dogeOS
That was my thought too and I did so but it’s been up for over a week now.
