A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Now Available!

Hi there! Iris here~

Tax Heaven 3000 is a visual novel dating game that actually prepares your 2022 federal income tax return!

It’s always been a dream of mine to meet that special someone…and file their tax return.

Join me and we’ll search for deductions while searching for love!

Be careful! We’re not alone. Most wealthy countries make tax filing free, if the burden of preparation is even passed along to individuals at all. But, corporate tax filing services are (by dint of extensive lobbying) predatory, parasitic bottlenecks that deliberately complicate the tax filing process in order to make it unnavigable by ordinary people.

And it works! The villainous corporation that controls the government from the shadows is a sadly mundane reality. It’s the most boring industry imaginable.

Videogames are, at the end of the day, pieces of software–ontologically akin to Microsoft Word. Tax Heaven 3000 simply makes the fiction the point. For some reason the game-to-real-life interface has tended to remain the purview of corporate metaverse fictions. Tax Heaven 3000 is a dongle that adapts from a visual novel to the IRS.

Come on, let’s get started! I can already tell I’m going to like you ♥ 

And remember, If you die in the game you die in real life if you prepare your taxes in the game, you prepare your taxes in real life.

Suitable for single filers without dependents. Tax Heaven 3000 assists a player in creating a self-prepared United States federal income tax return.


Disclaimer

Tax Heaven 3000 is designed to prepare 2022 US federal income tax returns for single filers without dependents. 

Tax Heaven 3000 does not support all tax situations, and may not check for all possible deductions and credits that could apply to your individual tax situation. Tax Heaven 3000 is intended for filers with simple W-2 income, does not support amended or late tax returns, and does not support state returns.

Tax Heaven 3000 is designed to assist in tax preparation only: it is the responsibility of the user to provide accurate information and to ultimately file their return once complete.

Thank you, without you I would be committing tax evasion without even knowing it.But with Iris I'm no longer under constant threat of Iris

(+1)

great game but needs squeal 

Show post...

awesome

(+4)

You guys should update this

TAXES!!!!!! ;3

real

does this work for current year and beyond as well or is there some reason it can only work for 2022?

Probably because there might be changes to the tax code year by year.

darn

(+1)

A tad bit late here, but any chance of a Linux build in the future?

(+3)

Now make one for applying for Medicare!
(PSA: There's a PDF you can download called "Medicare and You", but the print version includes a Section 11 for Medicare Advantage plans in your state. But just like how TurboTax has made filling taxes more daunting that it should be, Insurance Companies, For-Profit Hospital Conglomerates, and even Big Pharma have made applying for Medicare like trying to make it through World 8 in Super Mario Brothers 3.)

(+6)

ok but furry bara update when?

Was told it was removed from steam so when I first heard of this, I went straight here. Thank you so much

(+1)

You are paying taxes, 15%, Look at every receipt you have to see  "VAT" or "المجموع قبل الضريبة".
Saudi used to have no tax when Oil running out wasn't a threat.
Thankfully saudi made paying tax so easy and automated(forced) :D

To play the game on Windows you must extract the zip file when that's provided you press download into a new folder by right-clicking the zip file, clicking extract files, and pressing Ok for Windows to automatically put it into a new folder inside of your downloads folder or you could use the bar on the top to navigate to a new folder to extract into. After your files have been taken out of the file you need to navigate to the folder they were extracted into and open the EXE file. Opening the EXE file should start the game. When the game is started you will be placed onto the menu screen. To continue from here you must press the button that says New Game. if you'd like to change some aspects of the game like the text speed, music volume, or sound effect volume you can press settings. After you press New Game you will be put into the main game. Here you can access the settings or save the game so that you may close it and continue where you left off. Once you are in the main game you will be prompted with a screen telling you to input your name. You can do this by clicking on the box you want to write into and using your keyboard to type the name. Use your mouse to click next after you've put your full name into the boxes. The game then will display text on the bottom telling the game's story and showing dialogue. You will also see a picture of whoever the main character is talking to whenever they have dialogue. To continue the story keep pressing the button that says "Next" after you've read the text in the bottom right corner. You will be prompted with many questions while playing the game. To answer the questions you must click on the boxes on the right and then click "Next" using your mouse. The game will not work if you make certain choices such as saying that you have dependencies. It's possible for you to lie and continue paying but then you would not be able to use the game for its intended purpose. After playing the game long enough you will see a map on your screen. you can use this to travel around the game world. To go to a location use your mouse to click on the button pointing to the place you want to go. Each button is labeled with the name of the location it takes you to. I believe this is all the information you need to complete the game.

I LOVE THIS GAME

(+1)(-2)

UK Version? When?

(+4)(-6)

when your tax codes aren’t meant to intentionally screw you over for not paying a company or licensed professional who both have to pay the company or sorry I meant country.

(+5)(-1)

canada version when

(+3)(-8)

when your tax codes aren’t meant to intentionally screw you over for not paying a company or licensed professional who both have to pay the company or sorry I meant country.

(+4)(-1)

Copypasta when?

(+6)

This is super helpful to me! The only thing I do wish is that there was a back button, in case you messed up a piece of information

(+8)

Can you use this for, say, 2023 when that tax season rolls around?

(+8)(-4)

hi, I work at the IRS. given the changes that are made to federal tax returns every year, I would say that this game would not help you in filing your 2023 tax return accurately. however, the IRS itself offers programs for taxpayers under a certain income to get their returns filed either by a volunteer preparer or by a computer program. assuming MSCHF doesn't update the game for 2023, I would recommend checking those out for your upcoming tax prep needs!

(+4)(-7)

you work for the irs? kindly gfys

(+6)(-2)

do it yourself, coward ❤️

(+5)(-1)

dont threaten me with a good time

(1 edit) (+8)

I'm not American but I played it (using some sample documents you can get online), and actually... enjoyed it? Here's hoping they keep updating and expanding it every year to include more and more edge cases until eventually it can handle a very wide variety of personal situations, and becomes the #1 tax preparation assistant. :)

Though it's probably still gonna kick you if you have a waifu/husbando.

(+9)

I like stealing from the office (I have committed 12 transgressions).

(+2)(-2)

Somebody,give me your information so I can use it here.

(+16)

aaaAAAAA SO CLOSE, I['M GONNA FILE!!!!

Tax heaven 🤑

Guess this is the only game I can't play 

(+1)(-1)

the collector's edition sold out in hours... it's not even flipped on ebay yet... desperately waiting for some semblance of a sign that this is a real product i can buy in one way or another
