Here in Sweden they just come finalised. There may be occasions where you’ll need to make changes, but that’s literally never happened to me. “Doing taxes” involves me logging onto a website, skimming over a page or so, and then digitally signing it using my phone. Takes less than five minutes.
Here in the US, we have companies who offer their services to prepare taxes for you, and they spend an unreasonable sum lobbying the government specifically to not do what you lucky folks have been getting all along. Just can’t have the US without unfettered capitalism ruining things for average folk. :(

The IRS is actually about to start doing exactly what other civilized countries are doing.
