Ask HN: Anyone knows how to simplify taxes?
Yes.
We (PublicDomainCompany.com) are going to do it if someone doesn't beat us to it first. Will be a 2023 project for us (https://github.com/breck7/copypastetaxes).
I've been a supporter of https://github.com/ustaxes/UsTaxes and they are doing amazing grunt work that will be a big part of the solution.
Also, here's a great image of the first income tax return:

Show HN: Calculator for US Individual Income tax, from 1970-present
Sort of tangentially, I'm working with other contributors on https://ustaxes.org, an open source tax filing webapp https://github.com/ustaxes/UsTaxes.
Currently, many Federal tax forms are supported, as well as tax filing for the state of Illinois. Filing for Oregon and California is under development!

Trying to hide the fact that many of us can file for free
Anyone can write tax filing software. There are free and open source solutions. Given how much good it would bring to "the people", more developers should work on this. https://github.com/ustaxes/UsTaxes

Open Source Tax Software
The french initiative started in 2013 is still alive (last commit a few days ago), and passes the gov test suite (they keep in touch with our version of the IRS): https://github.com/openfisca/openfisca-france
The way we got this is interestingly twisted.
French citizens requested the software used by the administration, and they managed to get it!
But, it's was written in Mlang is a proprietary language created by the french administration in the 90: https://github.com/MLanguage/mlang.
Someone then decided to create an OCaml compiler that takes mlang and emits python: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.07966
As a result, we got we got open fisca. I know believe there are other techs in the mix...

Catala: A Programming Language for the Law
That line in the summary is a bit misleading. The authors didn't find a "bug" in any law - instead they found a corner case that wasn't included in an online tool hosted by the French government to estimate family benefits under French law:
> After close inspection of the OpenFisca code, a discrepancy was located with the Catala implementation. Indeed, according to article L755-12 of the Social Security Code, the income cap for the family benefits does not apply in overseas territories with single-child families. This subtlety was not taken into account by OpenFisca, and was fixed after its disclosure by the authors.
Here's the pull request for their fix to the benefits simulator: https://github.com/openfisca/openfisca-france/issues/1426
