California tried to save the nation from tax filing, then Intuit stepped in
At the risk of being a non-popular opinion, I don't find tax filing to be particularly difficult. Maybe its because my job is to solve pretty hard problems all day. But the average person/family who doesn't itemize  have a Sched C, it's quite easy.<p>The thing to understand about filing is that (particularly for W2 wage earners) you're not telling the Government how much you made and how much you owe. They know that already.<p>If you make a mistake in your filing, good or bad, they will send you a friendly letter correcting your mistake.  The filing is just acknowledging the debt to them.
