I didn't look into how it works yet, but you're likely right. Does the IRS have an open API like that? I was assuming it generated pdfs or something.

E-File is a thing but I'm not sure how open the API is. This app specifically just generates a PDF.
From their website: You need to be an authorized e-file provider (1). I'm guessing that if you're approved, you'll get access to their API. And you'll show up in their list (2)
