    Nah, the process should be:

    1. IRS sends you a letter (or email if you choose that) with a summary (includes exp dependents, prior year deductions, etc)
    2. You optionally file a correction
    3. You pay what you owe or get a check

    That’s it. And taxpayers could update their profile at any point in the year as things change, or just wait until the end of the year and file something.

    This way most people don’t need to file anything.
