Most people never look into how simple their situation might be. They just pay TurboTax $50 and move on with their day.

But also, taxes can get complicated, I'm just suggesting that for many people, with typical incomes and employment, they are not.

When I was in middle school (1970s) we learned how to file a tax return. For some reason this is no longer taught today.

We have the same problem in Norway; youngsters aren't taught proper private economy at school, just the "normal maths." Which leads to people getting into financial trouble because of stupid stuff. :/

Thanks for updating me on the US tax system! Hope all is well over there! :)
