IRS moves forward with a new free-file tax return system
Controversial take for all of you:<p>US taxes arent complicated because of tax software lobbiests. In fact they are already very simple if you actually value simplicity. But people dont - they value paying the least in taxes as possible (as they should).<p>You can dumbly supply a small amount of information and be in complete compliance with the law. Virtually all complexity comes from proving ways in which you don&#x27;t owe taxes and calculating how much. Thus, reducing complexity necessarily increases taxes for most cases. That means reducing complexity will always have lots of normal people rationally opposing it.<p>Tax complexity reductions need to be accompanied by tax cuts across the board.
