@kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net actually there's a reason for that (and the same reason why you still need to do it in Europe and other countries)

there are a lot of various tax exemptions and rules and strategies you can use to reduce the amount of taxes you pay, but the government doesn't know about your life so you have to be the one to claim them (e.g. maybe you have a girlfriend that you live with, maybe you have a small business, maybe you are in a special situation, etc)

"doing taxes" is basically just solving mathematical optimization problems to give the least amount of money possible
