> For the average tax payer this might be truthy

It's completely true for most people. "And a new paper estimates that at least 41 percent of American households — some 62 million tax filing units — could have their entire tax returns handled this way with no further intervention necessary." https://www.vox.com/23055489/irs-automatic-filing-prepopulat...

Even if that's too high of an estimate, there are absolutely 10s of millions of people for whom the IRS already has the correct amount of taxes calculated based on the forms they receive from other entities. Sure, you might have to ask people a few questions, but my statement is accurate for an enormous percent of the population.
