Why did this take the IRS so long where other nations have been doing this for decades?

Most nations don't require you to do anything other than check your payslips unless your situation is complex.

Ehh, in the Netherlands you need to report all bank accounts, home value, income from salary and contracts and a fuckton more.

It's all done via a web app made by the Tax Authority.
