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.
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.

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!
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. :)

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