I have implemented parts of the tax code, following 1040 and the network of forms it references line-by-line, for my own financial planning. I've been selective about what I implement based on what applies to me.

I don't share the code because I'm not sufficiently confident that it's correct, don't want liability, and don't want an obligation to keep it up to date.

That said, it feels like the scope of the project would be manageable for a small nonprofit, and would be of great social value. One reflection from my work is that it would be particularly valuable to represent annual changes in the tax code as transformations of the code AST.

I understand your worry, but could you feel better offering it under a free software license that expressly disclaims warranties of usefulness for any purpose?

Or leak it via Tor plus a pastebin, so that you are protected from liability via anonymity?
