## Resource

Adam sits down with his personal tax advisor from Iowa, Bruce Willey , to discuss why millions of Americans aren’t filing their tax returns and how the tax system has become overwhelmingly complicated. They also explain why the IRS isn’t to blame—politicians in Washington are the ones writing the rules—and share how they would simplify and improve the system.
