Americans as a whole are very stupid and don’t realize that the overwhelming majority of them can file for free. In fact, 100% of Americans can self-file (for free) if they can handle about an hour of basic paperwork, but for 70% of Americans, you can file taxes for free in less than twenty minutes. It’s not hard at all.
But most people would rather Google “how to file taxes,” click on the first sponsored link they see, and buy something before they ever actually try to do even a minute of research.
I’m not saying that filing in the US takes zero effort whatsoever, but you have some deeper problems if you don’t think five questions like “What does Box A on your paper form say?” isn’t just as easy.
You’re saying, “My car has 500 horsepower. That’s what fast is” to a guy with a 499hp car.

Tbf as a Swede I just log in, glance at the forms, sign and log out. That’s what easy is.

It’s more like comparing an automatic gearbox to a manual IMO
