Do Your Taxes in 30 Seconds

Ezra Klein: Republicans Wish You A Painful Tax Da

So here’s a pretty nice policy idea from John Edwards: if the IRS already has all the information it needs to do your taxes, as it does for about 50 million Americans, why don’t we spare you the trouble and have the IRS do your taxes by itself? The IRS would then just send you “Form 1” in the mail, telling you how much you owe or how big your refund is, and you’d sign it and return it. Studies suggest that this would save Americans approximately 225 million hours of tax-related drudgery.
