I don't understand why generative AI would be involved in a tax return? It's just data entry.

If your tax return needs creative assistance, maybe you should go to jail instead?

I don't understand why data entry is even required when the gov has the data. I mean, I do understand, but...

There's cases where the government doesn't have all the information they need to automatically generate them for you. That usually applies to businesses, though, since their accounting department is supposed to keep track of expenses and correct their tax filings before submitting them.

That's not a reason the government shouldn't make it automatic/easier for the vast majority of the population, though.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. I live in Europe, where tax filing is automatic unless, yes, you're a business.
