- grzm 9y agoI believe the primary reason is that there's a pretty big industry around tax preparation that's making that difficult.[0] I've also heard arguments that there are anti-tax motivations that want to keep it difficult so people view taxes more negatively. I don't have any info on the latter, so take that with your daily recommended allowance of sodium chloride.
