I was in a hurry before and didn't have time to add the most interesting part about Japanese taxes:

A full-time employee with a single source of income does nothing. The company files their income tax. How's that for easy? Refunded amount is transfered to the employee's bank account automatically about two months later.

There is nothing they can do anyway to massage the numbers after a standard deduction is applied.

Congress should study the Japanese income tax system.  That would provide about four years of junkets, two years of studies, three years of collating recommendations, and eventually ... no changes.

My step dad files them, it helps that I work for him too.  As far as I know he uses turbotax.

I try to break even and owe zero every year. If I owe, they didn't take enough out during the year and if I get any kind of refund, they took out to much..
I'd rather have my "return" broke out into my 26 paychecks each year.

ok, great idea.  now take the time to explain how the government provides for administration, national defense, international and interstate commerce regulation,  the federal roads, national parks, space exploration, occupational safety standards and the plethora of other services that provide us with the ease and comfort of our current lifestyle.  some of you guys are amazingly infantile.  government is a necessary evil because man is inherently corrupt and evil.  since we deserve to lorded over we also deserve to pay for it.
