As I sit here trying to fill out my US taxes, I want to remind everyone in the US's fault that your tax season pain is entirely the tax preparation industries fault.
"The makers of TurboTax and other online systems spent millions lobbying last year, much of it directed toward a bill that would permanently bar the government from offering taxpayers prefilled filings."
Income taxes could be like car registration or property taxes where the government just sends you a statement and a bill or refund at the end of the year.

I agree this is a stupid system. I filed on paper for years because I didn’t want to pay a third party.
I’ve had good luck with FreeTaxUSA for the past several years, easy and free for the feds, under $20 for state forms.
