> However, there are cases when that estimate isn't correct.

So I have a few important questions then:

- How large is the error?

- Can errors be solved by saying "confirm and if we find out you lied you'll pay a fine"?

- Is the error homogeneous or worse for certain groups/classes?

- Is the error less than the cost and loss of productivity that Americans face in filing taxes?

- If it is non-homogeneous, then can we do return free filing for the majority of the population?

- Why can other countries successfully perform this but we can't?
