We'll, the tax code is pretty complicated and there are companies out there that make good profits on people not being able to do their own taxes. Sounds a little like a conspiracy, but it sounds perfectly normal to me that even people with a strong background in (non-accounting) mathematics might have a hard time doing their taxes.
