I think they could probably get pretty close with most people. And, I think those tax credits would get reported to the government anyway (otherwise how could they verify it). Regardless that part was more of a wish. Just sending me a bill would be a marked improvement.

I'd argue they get pretty close for most people right now if they have everything setup properly.

And even if credits get reported unless they are reported at the beginning of the year pay check with holding couldn't be changed.

But yes just sort of auto generating a return with either a refund or bill that someone could choose to dispute or accept would be much easier of a task and I think a reasonable ask.
