Filing taxes in the United States is notoriously complex, contrasting sharply with simpler systems in countries like Sweden and the UK. In the US, an average person spends 13 hours and $270 just to file a basic tax form, largely due to a convoluted tax code and various deductions and credits that complicate filing. While other countries have streamlined processes where taxes are automatically settled by employers, the US system requires couples to file jointly, adding to the confusion. Although recent changes aim to simplify the process, such as the IRS's Direct File program, the journey toward a more user-friendly tax system remains a challenge.
