    Uhh what? There’s no American tax website to login into to “verify” things were handled right. One still has to do a decent amount of work copying data into third party for-profit company web forms.

    While it’s easy for some to manage, it’s by no means a simple process compared to what some other countries offer

      There basically is. Your W2 gives you all the info about how much was withheld, and you can simply verify that it’s right or not.
