As a rule of thumb I would not trust IRS to do my taxes but I am happy if they send me a draft and I have to just sign or make corrections.

- jkaplowitz 8y agoIn every country I'm aware of where the government does your taxes, you have exactly that option to accept (whether explicitly or through inaction) or to correct. I don't know anywhere that forces you to accept the government's calculation without a chance to provide your own.

- kartan 8y ago> I would not trust IRS to do my taxes but I am happy if they send me a draft and I have to just sign or make corrections That is how it works in Spain and Sweden. But, in the end, the tax office will randomly select people and check their tax applications. If you did something wrong they will send a correction so you pay the difference plus an interest rate. But even then you can send allegations to justify your original tax application. Only if they reject the allegations you need to pay the difference.
