It has been proposed in professional tax forums that this is in fact how tax code should be legislated, using some kind of pseudo-code. Even just using symbols for things such as >=, <, and so on would eliminate a lot of the garbage in the verbal version.
- philsnow 4y agoThis would be incredible -- it feels like the tax form documentation is written in a dialect of Accounting English from the 50s, and just little things like adding some parentheses to group and/or con/disjunctions would go a long ways. Nearly every year I don't feel confident that I've filled out my taxes accurately, and it's not for lack of trying.
