The Simple Tax Return

The Simple Return would have the IRS take the information about income directly from the employers and banks and, if the person’s tax status were simple enough, send that taxpayer a return prefilled with the information. … As many as 40 percent of all Americans could be covered by the Simple Return. … This could save 225 million hours of tax preparation time per year and $2 billion in spending on tax preparers.
Amen!

    No, please. All this will do is hide the bureaucracy from the end user. How about simplifying the tax as well as the tax...

    Interesting idea…and all the more plausible as this is Obama’s head economic adviser who is pushing this plan.
