Tax preparation is a big industry in the US. They are not incentivized to streamline it.

Please make sure you also use really good adblockers and script blockers, and vet your phone apps carefully. Meta has its fingers everywhere.

Encourage family members to take the same precautions, because they can inadvertently share data about you.

You don't need a Facebook account for Facebook to acquire your data. Facebook buys your data from other companies you deal with (including websites you visit if you don't use good blocking add-ons and apps on your phone if you don't vet them well), and they can piece together further information about you based on data they have collected from your family members.
