This wouldn't change accuracy, if anything it might increase accuracy by simplifying it for the vast majority of filers. Nobody is saying you wouldn't be able to file just like you do today, but being able to just review a card of what the government already knows and OK'ing if right would make it massively simpler for 87% of tax filers. You could still have fun spending hours filling out several forms for your odd tax situation.
