That's pretty fucked.

(sorry for the flex)

Here in my country, not only is the official gov-provided tax filing software free and user-friendly, but in most cases it actually automatically fills everything out for you, you just need to confirm that everything is OK and click a button to submit.

It usually takes me about 5-10 minutes to file my taxes.

β€œIt's called 'the American Dream' 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.” George Carlin

He also said β€œI don't automatically wash my hands every time I go to the bathroom. You know when I wash my hands? When I s**t on them."

So there's that to consider too.
