Here we go again. Expenses and deductions don't apply to most tax filers. There is no reason to keep a broken system in place for the benefit of 10%.

If there are deductions to be made we can do the same as other modern countries, have the taxpayer fill in an amendment and recalculate the proper amount.

Exactly. The standard deduction in the US recently doubled in size. That covers a lot of people. We could cover even more if the IRS sent you an email in January and said, "We expect your refund to be $X. If you think you have more than $12k in deductible expenses, click here to tell us about them."

People for whom that's not enough can still go through the whole ritual.
