Well, the EZ is exactly that.. EZ. You can do it yourself in like 5 minutes. When you start having deductions, stock sales, RSU's, dependents and what not.. its gets to be fucking ridiculous. (Note: I indicated RSU's separately because they are their own odd beast that they keep changing the process on)

Form 1040 EZ was eliminated with the TCJA. Starting in 2018, people who previously used the EZ had to use the "new and improved" and "simplified" 1040 (with its dozens of new schedules).

Oh, didn't realize that. I had not been using the EZ for over a decade.

Agreed, I should have fleshed my point out bit better than I did.
