How about instead of allowing Americans file free online, we don't have anyone file but rather send out a pre-filled form that just needs sign off by citizens (the government already knows most of the stuff the average person fills in on their tax forms).

If those crazy conspiracists thought mass ballot harvesting was bad, imagine doing that with pre-determined tax forms that only requires a signature.
Shall we continue giving our government ideas to incentivize the gaming of their system?

Such a system would have to include a provision that lets you reject the government's computations and submit the usual tax forms instead. I imagine the crazies would just do that.
