Reminder that in many countries, the government will calculate your taxes for you and handle almost all the paperwork, but private tax service companies, like H&R Block, have been actively lobbying to prevent systems like that in the US.
I’ve often said that what the government wants people to do, they should make simple so people can do it. The fact that doing our taxes is so horribly complicated says to me that the government either wants people to not do it or to do it wrong – either of which will result in fines and prison time. And that’s what the government wants to do to us. grrrrr!
I am so glad I don’t have to file taxes anymore or spend the time to have to figure out deductions and such. With my income only being SSDI and Alimony I don’t have to file on either so I don’t have to get frustrated trying to figure out the supposed easy tax forms.

To have that many tax forms they must be very wealthy and run a lot of businesses.
