Okay, hire a shit ton more IRS agents and expect tax seasons to last forever as everyone gets literally everything they own appraised.

Worth it

Lol, if less complicated, that is, if there are no exceptions, then you need fewer agents

Tell me in what world do you need fewer agents to appraise literally everything owned by everybody every year? I bet you own things you've forgotten about, but some IRS agent would have to go over all of it.

In the world where you have so many loopholes, and with so much complexity, that you have to anyway keep track of who's got what, who owes what to whom, what something is worth, etc etc

Then close the loopholes. Much simpler.
