Wild to read how the US tax system works when you're used to the EU.

Maybe one day you'll also get automatic tax filling without lifting a finger.

Then how would you arbitrarily fine your citizens?

Calling taxes a fine is about the most american thing ever...

I think what they meant was forcing people to do it all by hand invites mistakes, which are then fined.

Yes, or pay someone to do it.

Happened to my dad once in Canada.

He missed a savings/checking account which earned some interest. CRA knows about these as the bank sends it to them.

They made a big deal about hiding it and fined him with interest.

It's totally stupid.
