What if we just eliminated the I get a W-2, I enter the info that the IRS already knows into a 3rd party system, the IRS accepts it.
We'll never make taxes easier for everyone, and this "tax gap" argument is great and all but I don't know why I have to do anything for my exceedingly simple taxes.
- lurquer 5y agoYour W-2 does not come from the IRS, though. It is created by your employer. The form is simply informing you what it reported to the IRS. The W-2 your employer created and sent could be wrong. It’s a screwed up system.

Not a simple tax situation, I should be able to check my tax status of course so I can figure out when my simple taxes are borked by someone especially if it isn't in my favor.
