I do my taxes myself almost every time. And they're more complicated than average.

I'm all for simplification, but it's already pretty simple to understand for almost all Americans.

The only part that sucks for all Americans is actually filing, especially when you have to pay some asshole intermediary just to make it slightly faster.

In our state, they streamlined filing. I still have to understand the same things, but it's 3x faster than before. So I know it's possible.

Laying off the one programming team whose products were actually improving my interface with the government was braindead stupid.

Again, yes, simplify the tax code. But for the love of Christ, streamline filing with DirectFile no matter what you do!!
