[–] moosepuggle@startrek.website 91 points 2 years ago (3 children) This is awesome! Now the IRS just needs to send me my already completed taxes that I just verify, sign, and return, like they do in Sweden. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Kuro@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago But... why doesn't anyone think of the millionaires :( permalink fedilink source parent [–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) If they are missing something, is it easy to ammend what they send, or do you gotta start from scratch and you can only use that as a reference? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zorg@lemmings.world 7 points 2 years ago (3 children) There is no 'scratch', you login and practically everything is filled out.

Wish we had that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago Yep, it's all a bunch of forms and you can edit the info that is prefilled. There's a rare few forms which still need to be sent in on paper, but most can be sent in digital form. permalink fedilink source parent [–] S_204@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) This is nearly how it works in Canada. I grant access from my accounting software to my Canada revenue agency account and pretty much just verify it's correct and fill in some of the non registered investment stuff which happens to be mostly with the institution whose software I use anyways. The software is free. It even checks my wifes to optimize the returns. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) What do your wives do to be an object of interest for a tax agency? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] S_204@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago Big only fans following. permalink fedilink source parent [–] twinnie@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) How does that work for businesses and investments? In the UK I don’t have to do anything for taxes with my job, but if the investments in a rental property, or something like that, are over £4000 I have to do the forms. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] guacupado@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 child) They give you something to sign. For the majority of people, they just say "Yeah, sounds about right" and they confirm it. For people with added complexities, they'll do what they already currently do and add in the details you're talking about. It's literally win-win all around except for the tax soft company CEOs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago There's tax preparation software companies here in Sweden too but almost only businesses use them because most individuals don't need it. permalink fedilink source parent
