When I started work in the 70's the tax return was a folded four page affair that even a teenager could fill out. Then they changed it to a 64 page magazine called TaxPack. More recently they changes the tax laws again and almost everyone I know now employs an accountant to do their tax return. (accountants are tax deductible)
So what is normal over there? Here in Oz, if you work for someone else they deduct income tax every week and at the end of the financial year (June 30) you submit your tax form and almost everyone gets some money back. Usually a couple of hundred bucks unless your accountant is really inventive.
