    So… the irs knows how much you’re paying before you ever file.

    They could just send you a bill.

      Canada is starting to do that. But it’s “we think this is the situation. If that’s true, pay and move on. If that’s not true, file and pay. And don’t lie or we’ll mess you up.”

      I think that’s this year. Maybe next.
