What part of the US tax system is easy compared to the EU, seriously because I come from the UK and being in the US is the first time in my life I have had to even file a tax return.
The US system seems to guarantee you need an accountant.
Yeah. The Canadian tax system is simple enough that I could do it on paper. I mostly use an on-line system because it helps me balance the deductions my wife and I have for best tax benefits.
Ever heard of Turbo Tax? If I can do it in 2 hours each and every year a day before the deadline being US citizen in Poland, yeah you need a lot of bad faith to have issues.
Ok somewhat fair, but again (and I admit I do not come from Poland, and can only use the UK, French and German tax systems as anecdotal evidence) I didn't need tax software before I came to the US.
In the UK I do my taxes in 0 minutes most years, maybe in 10 minutes if I get a small return through the post.
Fwiw (I didn't use turbotax but some other online software) when I did my last US tax return; it was wrong and I had letters come through adjusting the calculations.
