Does the government automatically know what you spent in business expenses? Or what charitable donations you made? Or what property you may have lost during the year?

That's a great example of something most Americans don't have to worry about. They could take advantage of autofile and you wouldn't. Simple as that.

I’m not saying those are easy to automate, or that everything can be automated, I’m saying a lot of things are able to be automated. Not only capital gains and interests, I suppose mortgage interest deduction would also be easy.
