What about itemized deductions? How can you automate that?
Things like out-of-pocket medical expenses and business expenses would have to be done manually. But that's fine! Automating 80% of the work is still better than automating none of it. And it would be 100% for the people who don't itemize (which, as I understand it, is the vast majority).
It would be easy for the government to send you its automatic, non-itemized calculations and give you the option of itemizing.
