IRS filing taxes for us could lead to unintended consequences, like them just saying "yep, everything's in order here. you're all paid up. What's that? Tax return? No, you paid the exact amount you owed in taxes, so you get no return." and probably you'd have to do a FOIA request to get a copy of the return, then you could probably fight it, but it'd cost more to fight it than you'd get back in the return in the first place.

Most countries that do this send an itemized tax bill showing how everything adds up and you are given time to dispute it before paying.

I believe most Americans don't realize that this is possible, thanks for mentioning that. This is how it should be in the US as well.
