WASHINGTON — Tax season became a little more taxing this year, with the average person spending more than a day and more than $200 collecting, calculating and compiling those numbers for the tax man, according to a report based on Internal Revenue Service figures. If it’s any consolation to the person still trying to get receipts in order before today’s filing deadline, businesses have it far worse. The National Taxpayers Union, in its annual look at the burdens of taxpaying, said the corporate cost of compliance is about $170 billion. “Congress is adding to the tax laws’ complexity faster than the IRS can simplify its forms,” the NTU said.
