Just wanted to share, for users in the US: I've used this python-taxes code <https://github.com/davidcmoore/python-taxes> from user davidcmoore for several years now together with beancount, primarily to generate tax forms including a W2. The package includes several advanced federal tax forms (and California forms if you live there). I have a bridge script that passes on numbers from beancount queries as input to python-taxes.
I don't use it to file taxes, but rather, to verify my taxes computed using other means, and to estimate taxes to make payments and such. In the last 3-4 years, this process has yielded with very little time spent, numbers that are the same or close enough to make it very useful in verification and estimation. Of course, there are fundamental limitations. Eg: foreign taxes paid via investments, qualified dividends, tax exempt interest, etc. are typically not stored in beancount. For these, a quick approximation based on past years works surprisingly well for the purposes of estimation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
