Same here in Europe, my tax form is auto-filled I only have to check the numbers and confirm, with same warning and laws to back it up in case you decide to hide income.
Make people file a tax return, but auto-populate it with the data the government already knows. And at the end include a tick box clause that essentially says "I have included everything and reviewed the autofill info, and if I have omitted anything later discovered I will be prosecuted".
20 seconds to file your taxes if there's nothing unknown. Very easy to add extra info. Covers the tax departments back of you intentionally mislead them.
