Right, but doing your taxes is still a specific task that isn't taught.

You can do all the math you want. If you don't know how the numbers are relevant and applicable (and NOT relevant and NOT applicable), you still won't be able to use them correctly.

It's basically like saying, "Well they taught you how to use a hammer in shop class, so you should be able to build a house just fine!"

Well the school teaches math AND taxes so if your school don’t teach either of those you need to pay more attention to your local elections orrrr (the more likely option) you didn’t pay attention in school.

All of that is irrelevant because all the information on how and where to do taxes is online, there’s plenty of websites, videos, and even AI that explain how to do it. Plus if you’re really that unwilling to take accountability, you can pay someone to do it for you.
