Ask HN: Open-Source Tax Software?

14 points by 3fe9a03ccd14ca5 6y ago ↗ HN

What is the current state of open-source tax software?

I usually pay the cost of Turbotax premium because it will import all all of my transactions from my broker and generate the 1099 for me. Obviously this saves a lot of time.

Are there good open-source alternatives for filing taxes?

Wow! That looks great! I’m going to give it a try for my side project accounting.

Thanks!

If you are California resident, you can use CalFile tonfile your taxes for free. If you create a fully authenticated account you can import some of your informations from previous year return and your W2. https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/ways-to-file/online/calfile/inde...

I am also searching for the opensource accounting system for SMB but not finding compatible one.
