    Is there a better way to file your taxes? Advocates say a pre-filled tax return system, as used in other countries, would save Americans time and money -- but the tax preparation industry has fought back http://cbsn.ws/2EvpJZg pic.twitter.com/2rFyjW0TaE

        Sure everything is easier in “other countries.” Reason: their total population is same as one American city. Or maybe they don’t even pay taxes because the USA is supporting them 100%

        I handle everything in my life myself, except cleaning out my gutters and attempting to understand the tax system. Therefore, I hire a handyman and a tax man who goes to continuing ed workshops throughout the year.

        Thread: As someone that prepared taxes for years, I wouldn’t ever advise my clients to ‘trust’ the IRS (in this kind of scenario). I myself received a letter from a state-level tax bureau claiming that I owed $1k (I did not). So lets combine the already-existent human error + 1/?

        computer error + a convoluted tax system that tax preparers (both professionals and accountants) already have to explain to the everyday person and add in overworked govt employees + outdated govt IT systems and hope it all turns out ok. Oh, and also we need to account for the 2/

        fact that the underprivileged will STILL be at a disadvantage, since they won’t be able to afford a pro to ‘double-check’ their IRS-generated return OR pay for a qualified representative to help them challenge an incorrect return. The eFile compromise - those making less than 3/

        $66k (AGI) getting to use industry programs to file, that HAVE error-checking, and the opportunity to ‘chat’ with someone (in some programs) - was a great step in tax preparation equity imho. IRS-generated returns are a non-starter in my book. 4/4

        Too many deductions and information is missing on your refilled returns . Prefilled returns are incomplete . Best to do it right and complete and correct . Easy is wrong when it is also incorrect .

        Most people can't be bothered to even read the instructions for opening a box, you think this would make them file their own taxes? (but I filed my own..not that hard on an ezy form..)
