I don't think that "can be reduced to a questionnaire" is an effective indicator of simplicity. The IRS forms themselves are essentially word problems.

The DeepMind personality cloner just asks questions. It is definitely not simple.

It's about as simple as it can get, plain questions - "Do you own a boat or did you buy one this year?"

At some point there is irreducible complexity, but most tax questions are of this nature for all normal people - a huge portion of people could file a form 1040ez and be done with it.
