  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • policyengine-us

    The PolicyEngine US Python package contains a rules engine of the US tax-benefit system, and microdata generation for microsimulation analysis.

  • Agreed. We're building an open source version of taxsim at https://github.com/policyengine/openfisca-us.

  • UsTaxes

    Tax filing web application

  • 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!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    https://github.com/PSLmodels/Tax-Calculator/blob/master/taxc...

    Looks like the data in there goes back to 2013/2014. I'd love to see older historical policy data.

  • mlang

    Compiler for the M language, used to compute the income tax of French taxpayers

  • France has an open source implementation of their tax code [0]. The paper [1] gives an overview of the implementation language, mlang.
