It sounds like this could be functional?

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.

It would need to be kept updated with changing laws but could we see forks turn into a FOSS tax prep software?
