Looks like more pages to the tax code may be coming our way.

Evidently you've never heard of a college application form.

Good Lord! I've been discriminated against for 9 years and I didn't even know it.

Should I call a lawyer?

Great idea.

However as we simpletons know from experience with our gubmint, the 'One Page 1040SR' will wind up having 2632 pages of INSTRUCTIONS and will be the size of Seoul's phone book! (pop 10,231,217)

(thank God for the "paperwork reduction act")

It is hard for seniors to file that have reduced facilities. Government needs to understand that these seniors have paid their dues over the years, and deserve an easier way to file if their only income is retirement.

As a footnote, just lately a couple (were 95 and 92) tore up IRS form and booklet about 15 years ago and never filed since. They passed away a couple years ago, but trying to figure out how to file was too much, so they said "come and get me". It's about time that seniors are given the respect they deserve, after all the young are benefiting from what the seniors have done for them. But if all the seniors sat on their @ss you might not have what you young have now. Freedom and prosperity.

Burns has asked Congressional leadership to fast-track the legislation, and allow a floor vote in both the House and Senate this year.

And expect idiot legislators to tack on some form riders to slip in their own pork or to add their own agenda.

So now the IRS will have to add lines for additional deductions for seniors, IRA distributions and Social Security benefits and how to calculate the taxable section to Form 1040EZ.

By the time Congress gets done, 1040EZ will look just like Form 1040A or 1040. Then to simplify taxes for those who don't have to worry about IRAs and SS a new 1040EZ-er will be produced. Then seniors will complain they can't fill out that form and the process will start over again.

Or we could just go to a national retail sales tax and burn the IRS building to the ground.

Why not just treat "Retirement Income" the same as any income?

Its gettin' so I'm looking forward to getting old. Of course, by then, the whole socialist house of cards will have collapsed.
