  • I only have anecdotal info for based on some reading I did last year. As far as I recall, the program and software are new. So they’re slowly building up features for more complicated tax scenarios an in turn, slowly making it accessible to more of the population.

    It’s just a matter of time before this is widely available. I read the post title as “we succeeded in this first year’s test and plan to continue the program”.

    It’s easy to understand how income and taxes affect my life. For many jobs, it’s very difficult to understand the value of my labor in a bigger picture.

    I think most people can’t think abstractly and thus struggle to see larger interactions like how money flows through an economy.







  • Well this is definitely a bit odd. Send like those comments should be included with the original change. Or maybe they shouldn’t be recorded as comments at all and they should be a git commit message. And where does that hard copy report come from? Anyways, back to your actual question.

    At this point, I’m still suggesting a tiny utility to assist with adding the comments. It looks like %ATTCHANGE and %REM are part of a very sort list of possible values. If so, a little cli tool can definitely help there. It could also handle the general comment structure and the changed value easily. Do these comments ever include something besides #ACCEPTED?

    The tricky part is the ‘12.24/4’. It sounds like you go through the report and then find the files/lines to create these comments. Is that right? It would be tricky to code a cli tool for doing that because you need to jump around between files.

    Last note for now, some simple git commands can definitely help you here. You could easily generate a list of changed files and lines. Another could show you the changed text. For any given change. Etc.
