In Australia at least the cost of preparing your tax return is tax deductible. For that matter the cost of visiting your accountant in order to do your taxes is tax deductible.

In the US you can deduct the cost of a tax preparer or the cost of DIY tax preparation software if you itemize deductions.

Most people take the standard deduction. Would you feel better if they said that was for filling out the paperwork?

Nope, but everyone has to do them. But not everyone get their door kicked in. Or you could just tax people for the money the state will be paying for people to fill in there taxes ...
