There is no reason for the average citizen to have any contact with IRS.
The company you work for is already withholding your taxes. They have the tables that say how much you owe. With a simplified tax code, you fill out your W-4 the day you go to work, with your number of dependents, and that’s it.
If your spouse works, so what. She is withheld based on the same tables. They couldn’t sum your two wages to get a higher tax rate, but they don’t need to. Each wage stands alone.
So aside from filling out your W-4, you never have to think about it again as long as you live. No April 15 madness. No worrying if you overpaid or underpaid, its not your problem. The company that is going to withhold the money anyway is the one responsible to IRS. End of story.
This is the way it is overseas. Its not the employee’s problem.
Because the tax system is another welfare benefit. You make X amount of money, you get back X if youv’e over paid. However now, we have EIT credit, economic opportunity credits,green energy credits, adoption credits,tuition credits and on and on. All of those exemptions, credits,etc. is to get votes.
