The lower hanging fruit is to fix the filing method. The government has all of the data available to them, they should be able to send you a pre filled tax return that you can amend for whatever reason. In 98% of situations their numbers won't need changing and filing can be a 30 second process. I believe that's how it works in most other countries. Of course there are powerful lobbies who want the tax process to be painful and that's why it doesn't work like that currently.
