My wife volunteered to do our Federal taxes one year. She's far from an 
idiot and has more degrees than I, unfortunately not in the STEM area. I'm 
glad I checked her work. I don't know about yours but our tax forms are 
designed to keep H.R. Block in business

if (line45 < .35 * line22 && dependants > 3) {
   goto line71;
}
else if (line45 > 32196) {
   your_screwed();
}
else {
    fill_out_form_1040XYZ();
}

They don't mail out printed forms anymore but it used to be a rather thick 
booklet.
