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:

Background primarily in economics, with 3 years of general programming experience. Significant work experience in finance/policy, decided in the past year to go towards data and software.
Recently left a role where I was responsible, solely, for designing and implementing a production scheduler for an industrial client in Gurobi. Also designed the backend of a demand forecasting platform, using Amazon's GluonTS, from scratch.
Currently working on https://github.com/PolicyEngine/openfisca-us in my free time, helping to research and design a comprehensive tax and benefit simulation for policymakers that doubles as an eligibility calculator.
