      One low hanging fruit is that it can file their taxes. Boom, that'll save a few hours and like $100 a person. After that, it's just a matter of your creativity.

         We have a marvelous thing in developed countries where the IRS (equivalent) already knows how much your tax should be paying[0] and you basically have to just look at a few numbers and click "That seems right". They even have a form where you can change things that aren't correct! Marvelous, I know... we've had that for 15+ years in Denmark.

         EDIT: To add, if you get it slightly wrong... you're fine, it'll be adjusted for in next year's taxes.

         [0] ...because it has to, in order to investigate evasion.

            You're just one step away from all the money just going straight to the government, then they decide how much goes back to you ;)

               I'm not sure I get your point. Can you elaborate?
