No, most returns are simple for most filers. If you don't own a business or have investment income, it is a piece of cake to file. Probably only slightly more time then registering for the rebate under the sales tax.
There is not an American alive that understands the code as it stands. Not one.
Probably not the entire code, but the ones relevant to them, yes there are.
Every American is a lawbreaker, in this sense; since ignorance of the law is no excuse, as they say.
Not all, but probably millions.
This system is a monstrosity, and you're continuing to defend it.
I am all for simplification of the code. I just think the sales tax is a stupid idea. A real stupid idea.
Translation: You want a simpler implementation of one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto, aka the income tax.
Which, of course, is a pipedream, a misdirection, anyhow, since the very purpose of the income tax is to control the people, to social engineer, to divide and conquer, to enslave...
You obviously have NO conception of what most people go through in filing those "simple" tax returns...
