Haha, No. I am not even responding to the technical side. I am sure it is possible to do such a thing. Unfortunately, there are a lot of forces (one in particular actually) at work lobbying against anything that would make it easier to do taxes.

- jandrese 11y agoVirginia used to have a super easy online form you could use to fill out taxes. H&R Block bought out one of our down state representatives and had her kill it off. It still makes me angry every year around tax time. There is absolutely no reason the IRS couldn't run their own online tax filing system that gets prepopulated with all of the information companies and banks report to the IRS except that it would drive thousands of otherwise useless middlemen out of business. There would still be accountants of course, but only for people who have actual complicated tax returns.
