There is a bunch of code to import w2s from the SSA in this codebase - this did happen this year for direct file. That being said, big issues remain:

- Employers don't tell the federal government about state tax information and when they do, the government doesn't store that information

- W2s aren't due to the SSA at the opening of tax filing season and penalties aren't commonly enforced for submitting w2s on time.
