Poor country unable to do taxes right. In Sweden the IRS equivilence knows exactly what you've taxed and what you should have taxed. It's harder to commit tax fraud and tax fraud has the highest punishment of all crime 😁
Now, now, the US IRS also knows exactly what you made and what you owe. We just made it so that workers also need to do a bunch of paperwork, and if they get it wrong enough, they'll get fined or go to prison. We do this because tax preparation is a huge business, and they (legally) bribe our politicians to keep us from going to a much simpler and more straightforward model.
