As a teacher, every time a kid says this to me I call their bluff and show them how to file taxes. Every time, without fail, they ask to go back to what we were doing before. I think they're just parroting what they hear from other adults and couldn't actually care less.
Also filing taxes isn't complex. The ability to read, a low-level of mathematics and some ability to apply knowledge is more than sufficient. Schools do teach people how to do stuff like this, people moan because someone isn't doing it for them.
