What would anyone outside of the US need to know about the 1040?

Wine? Must I?

I guess we can rewrite the data and post it in a blog. Include the
pointer to the url and include a copy of the page just for safe
keeping. I noticed many changes on the web that had hard to come by
data is going away. Having archives to prove our changes are
legitimate is a wise choice. Soon everyone from M$ will start posting
that we are coping from the leaked source,,,, oh that has already
happened!
