Ask HN: What are the best tools for extracting tax data from a W2 form?

2 pointsby aidangrimshawover 4 years ago
I&#x27;m working on an open source tax filing web app at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ustaxes.org&#x2F; and https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;thegrims&#x2F;UsTaxes<p>Any ideas on best practices for extracting tax data from a W-2 form? I&#x27;ve looked at Microsoft form-recognizer and AWS Textract, but I haven&#x27;t been able to get good results so far. (caveat I haven&#x27;t tried either with custom training data)

Is it still the case that W-2&#x27;s are usually only provided in paper form ? If they would just e-mail a (non-scanned) PDF you could extract the data easily without having to deal with OCR.
