13 States join the IRS direct-file test after tax prep firms dropped the ball
In the 8 years since I lived in the United States my income taxes in other countries have been almost unbelievably easy. Typically I look at the calculated amount provided by a government website, compare it to what I think it should be if there is done discrepancy, upload some receipts or whatever for deductions, then click submit.<p>It is beyond me why the experience should be any how different in the United States. And don't tell me, oh but there's 50 States which makes it complicated. I've lived in 5 countries in those years, four of which I had to pay taxes and every one was this easy.
