The answer to this is obvious. Do away with all of the paper forms and fat client software. The tax
return should be a web form that you can fill in online and submit directly to the tax office. They can do the calculations on their servers and inform you of the tax calculation immediately, and any mistake is their own responsibility.
Handily the UK has been doing just this for a few years now and it works very well, from any platform

no going to happen in the US
1. it would directly compete with very large companies
2. it would put a lot of IRS people out of work
right now the IRS doesn't even take responsiblity for their own people giving you incorrect information (you can use it as a defense, but the best you will do is get the penalties for not having paied the right amount to begin with reduced)
