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...

They have open sourced the algorithm they use to compute taxes here: https://gitlab.adullact.net/dgfip/ir-calcul which used a purpose made programming language https://github.com/MLanguage/mlang

Software engineers make the best CEOs, at least when measured by market cap
It's important to note that this isn't universal across the entire legal system. Some subsets like France's tax system are defined in code, and there's some efforts to create more general systems as computational law advances as a field.

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:

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
