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
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.
