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

I'm working on an open source tax filing web app at https://ustaxes.org/ and https://github.com/thegrims/UsTaxes Any ideas on best practices for extracting tax data from a W-2 form? I've looked at Microsoft form-recognizer and AWS Textract, but I haven't been able to get good results so far. (caveat I haven't tried either with custom training data)

I am working on building a free / open source tax filing website focused on filling the Federal 1040 form https://ustaxes.org/w2employerinfo I am building the site to be client-side only using React, Redux-persist, and Netlify to respect user privacy, make the site a little faster, and save on hosting costs. I am filling the federal 1040 form using pdf-lib, which is the only javascript pdf filling npm package that I could find that even remotely works. The site is still very much a work in progress but if there are others who want to work on this with me or suggest improvements that would be appreciated! The GitHub repo for the website is https://github.com/thegrims/UsTaxes Feel free to message me suggestions or create a PR against the development branch
