Does that mean they can just fill my tax forms for me and just send me a copy?

It's an SEC database, not IRS. Did you even read the article?

Sir this is Reddit, no one can read

Good point, lazy librarian

They could submit from SEC to IRS.

You are kidding, right? You can't even change your address on line on the IRS web site. The WSJ reported this month that the legacy code the IRS uses is so old, they can't even find people that are still alive that know it, since it dates from the 60s and 70s.

Dude, it's COBOL; it ain't that hard.

Yes, I am kidding. There's a snowball's chance in hell that anything the government does makes your life easier.

Even though I'm 90% certain an intern should be able to code some spaghetti that would work for most wsbtards.
