The 'gotacha' up-charge 70% of the way through your taxes where you can't use the form you legally need to fill out unless you give them $40 did extract money from me. Got tired of that shit and went to Free Tax USA.

The fact that the govt has the balls to tell me to figure out how much I owe them is hysterical. Especially when they supposedly know (at least roughly) how much I should owe

Why is the US like this? I'm not from there and am very confused... how is it the citizen's responsibility?

Most people in the UK don't think about tax, it just happens without their input.

If you have a small business or something more complex there are forms, but they're not that complex.. you mostly just tick boxes.

The US sounds like a dystopian nightmare the way they talk about tax.
