To be completely fair, most Americans can fill out either the 1040A or 1040EZ, which are short (the 1040A is two pages, the 1040EZ is one page). And while they don&#x27;t come pre-filled, these forms are extremely simple (&quot;look at the form your employer gave you; fill in the value from this box&quot;-type instructions).<p>The complexity doesn&#x27;t kick in unless you hit higher income brackets, need to declare income from a business you run, or want to itemize rather than take the standard deduction.
