Nina E. Olson, national taxpayer advocate at the Internal Revenue Service, says the tax code is too complicated. Hear her reasons why and how to fix it.
i was just discussing this with somebody last night! we were trying to decide if it just grew complex over a long period of time or if it was deliberately designed to confuse.

I always seem to get a big refund from my Federal return. I don't want to use the IRS as a "savings account" as the guest said. If I try to adjust my Federal withholding, my payroll department inevitably screws up my state withholding and I end up owing New York and New Jersey.
