The average American can file for free, or at least it was possible in the past.

They could also learn to file their taxes, as well as simple tax planning, in a very short video.

I'm not joking, in Australia the tax "filing" takes like 2 mins, you literally go, next, next, look at the details, "yep looks correct" put in your claims, and then submit.

You are all done.

Unless you have something wack going on its not even a process. I have had signups which are more complicated then it.

American taxes on the other hand mega suck, and have 9000 pitfalls.
