Today marks the 8th anniversary of this blog!
I started it years ago for reasons that still strongly exist today - to help promote dialog and discussion on the need to help tax systems reflect today's ways of living and doing business and to follow principles of good tax policy. I don't plan to give up!
How is this for a modern tax system - why can't my W-2 and 1099 data be gathered by an electronic system (software, a blockchain (!), a secure server) and populated onto my electronic return. Why can't I use a webpage to input any information not on a W-2 or 1099, and the return magically be filed? For many people, why can't they do this at a kiosk while at the grocery store?
What do you think of that or what modernization approaches do you suggest considering today's technology?
Thanks for reading!
Congratulations! Blogging for several years about taxes takes a great deal of time and self-discipline.
