We Shouldn't Need Accountants by Annie Lowrey
It's kind of insane how cumbersome and costly our system is for filing taxes. A nice read here by Annie Lowrey:
The United States imposes a cost in cash, as well as in effort. A majority of Americans, whether wealthy or poor, pay for help with their return, spending an average of $290 annually. Add up the amount that people spend out of pocket, and you would have a sum 12 times larger than the IRS’s budget. The situation is needless, as well as annoying. It’s far past time for it to end.
