Every year, Americans spend over 6 BILLION hours doing something citizens of most developed countries never do: figuring out their own taxes. Meanwhile, a $14 billion industry lobbies to keep it that way. This documentary explains why American taxes are so complicated, who profits from that complexity, and what you can actually do about it. 📊 KEY STATISTICS: • Average time to prepare a tax return: 13 hours • Collective American time on taxes: 6+ billion hours/year • Tax preparation industry revenue: ~$14 billion annually • Tax code length: 6,000+ pages (70,000+ with regulations) • Estimated error rate on paper returns: 21% • Billions in refunds go unclaimed annually 🏛️ WHY IT'S SO COMPLICATED: • Tax prep industry lobbying (TurboTax, H&R Block) • Decades of accumulated provisions and exceptions • Every deduction represents someone's policy priority • Complexity benefits those who can afford professionals • No political will for simplification 🌍 HOW OTHER COUNTRIES DO IT: • Japan: Employer calculates and withholds automatically • UK: PAYE system handles everything for most people • Estonia: Pre-filled returns take ~5 minutes • The IRS already has most of your information ✅ WHAT YOU CAN DO: 1. Understand your specific tax situation category 2. Know commonly missed deductions and credits 3. Use the right filing method for your complexity 4. Keep records year-round, not just at tax time 5.
