The average burden of the 1040 C-EZ is 1 hour 40 minutes. If we take the premise that 10 minutes to review your finances a month and then cancel unused subscriptions is not a burden(and good luck with canceling in 10 minutes) then doing basic taxes takes less time than a full yearly review. There are a great many people here who argue that doing ones taxes are an impossible burden and the government should automate it away since they have the (most of) the data. However here it should fall upon the individual to do all this labor in a case where the business has this information already compiled.
