  This is obviously wrong. The reason is that they need people to affirm ALL sources of income, not just their W2.

    If this is obviously wrong, then how and why does it work in most countries other than US? Most people don't have sources of income other than employment (or other sources that are similarly transparent to the tax authorities already). Most tax systems, accordingly, are structured around that, and only those who have unusual income sources have to submit documentation about them.
