Yeah, currently the user would print out the PDF generated by the site and mail it in to the IRS. E-filing is on the roadmap, but registering as an E-file provider is a pretty complex process. One of the options we were thinking about is scraping and automatically filling in fields on the free fillable forms site https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/free-file-fillable-form...

I worked on designing and implementing e-file a few years back for a startup. Happy to answer any questions or give any advice if y'all want it

Cool! Autofilling those forms sounds like an awesome thing if you can manage it! Best of luck! And thanks for doing this!
