More so that the 1% have fewer loopholes, not the other way around.
Regular folks filing taxes don’t have particularly difficult returns, but if the government already knows what you owe/get back, why waste everyone’s time? Obviously deductions exist for a reason, but standard deduction folks shouldn’t have to file to confirm that their number matches what the IRS already calculated.
Tax avoidance for most W2 workers is basically impossible without committing blatant fraud.
Tax avoidance for the 1% has many more loopholes to exploit (depreciation, etc).
Simplify the tax code!
When anyone asks for a 'simplified' tax code, it's going to mean little or no deductions for mostly everyone. Is this really what you want?
I also really don't know know how much easier you want them. If you have one W2 for one job, your taxes can be done in an hour on a Saturday.
