They actually made a postcard size tax return

They said it, they did it, by God. Just look how happy that woman is.

Unfortunately, there's a hitch.

A new postcard-sized version of the income tax form leaves off a number of popular deductions, making taxpayers search for them on several accompanying worksheets.

The new form, set for release this week, includes six accompanying worksheets for deductions ranging from student loan interest to teaching supplies, according to a copy of the form obtained by The New York Times.

The postcard-sized form also includes a line for the expanded child tax credit but omits lines for other types of childcare.

"Next week, we will be unveiling the new 1040 [form], and it will be a postcard as we've promised, and hardworking taxpayers won't have to spend nearly as much time filling out their taxes," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said at an event in the Capitol last week.

How is the final size of the form an improvement if you have to accompany it with reams of instructions and worksheets? I could make a form the size of a postage stamp: just put the final figure on it and sign with an X.

These people are all idiots. Every last one of them.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
