Or, you know, have your federal government implement self-filing online which covers 80% of the population

And what about the other 20%, which could be upwards of 75 million people?

It's so very SV/HN to reduce every problem to a numbers game, and anyone who doesn't fit into the larger figure is marginalized as an "edge case" to be ignored and discounted.

Presumably the remaining 20% would still use an accountant or tax software, so they'd be no worse off than they are today.

... are you suggesting that the millionaires and billionaires who wouldn’t be covered by a self-filing online federal taxes would then be “marginalized, discounted, and ignored?”
