I am not the brightest bulb on the tree but I have never had a problem preparing my taxes, even when I filed multiple business schedules. I could do all my tax returns on a 3X5 card but the IRS insists on the forms and schedules. Millions file on Schedule 1040EZ (one page) and 1040A (two pages). For others who need additional schedules it behooves them to keep up with the tax laws by preparing their own tax returns. Of course there are those who need the services of certified tax preparers, but they are a very small minority.
Most tax forms are really what are called "idiot sheets". The hardest part of preparing most tax returns is gathering and organizing the information that is entered on them, not the forms themselves, and this is also easy with a good bookkeeping system that is kept up to date.
