The whining in this thread is ridiculous imho. The ask is for the government to declare what it knows about a resident's taxes upfront, and then letting the tax-payer decide how much they want to invest in contesting the government's calculation. The conjecture is that for most people the need for contesting the government's math will not be needed. Currently, the part you call "responsibility" results in tax payers paying a third party millions of dollars every year. The expectation is that this waste of money can be largely avoided. How is that whining?
