        USA taxes aren’t hard, were just the only western country that the government doesn’t just do it and send confirmation mail.

        USA does how however have a serious financially uneducated population because this stuff isn’t taught in schools.

          In Canada the government does not do it. Turbotax wormed its way into our government too. Also not taught taxes in schools… (At least not in mine)

          Though I did have a socials studies teacher that tried to teach us about the stock market, but I’m pretty sure that was just a side project for him and not part of our criteria.

            It is starting to change

            The Canadian government has proposed an automatic tax filing system to help individuals, particularly those with lower incomes, by allowing the Canada Revenue Agency to file tax returns on their behalf if they meet certain criteria. This initiative aims to ensure that more people can access federal benefits
