From your first link:

> New Hampshire

> New York

> South Dakota

> Tennessee

> Texas

> Washington state

> Wyoming

> The pilot is not an option for you if you did not live in one of the 12 participating states in 2023.

Cali, Texas, Florida, and New York are some of the biggest states, but most Americans aren't eligible.

~145M potential taxpayers across the states you list is a fine pilot program population to start with (out of 331M people in country). Walk, then run. As your pilot moves into a fully operationalized state, you then have customer support and engineering capacity to work out edge cases. I don't see a problem; I see the beginning of success. You have to start somewhere.

I thought one of the reasons for this was more about state tax models, moreso than anything else.
