Impact on the use of GnuCash for Tax preparation in the US could be
profound. Looks like the US government is trying to head the same way as the
Brits.  Australia has done something similar recently in that one has to
join a consortium of software developers (at a significant fee) to get full
access to the information needed to build in software communication to the
ATO. The ATO no longer publishes the protocols in use and has outsourced
developmemnt of the protocols to a non-government consortium
