For 90% of people they're not really that complex. The 1040-EZ, which is all most people ever need to fill out every year, is ultimately just a few numbers that you add and subtract. Then you look at a big table so that you don't have to do any multiplication or rounding. Then you wait for a refund if you overpaid your taxes through the year, or write a check if you underpaid, and you're done.

- db48x 6y agoI'd forgotten about that. The same applies to the new 1040 though, and the older 1040 wasn't that much more complex. If you qualified for the 1040EZ, there would simply be some sections that didn't apply to you.
