Tax preparation

Hello, I have no idea how to start this, but I really want it to exist, so I'm just going to spill a bunch of suggestions. I personally was looking for a how-to sort of deal for personal income tax preparation. Something that goes over both the methods of doing so, and the tools/materials/information/resources needed to do so. (Courses could be listed according to region and governmental level in some sort of index, I suppose) I was thinking of this as maybe like an 'Accounting for Laymen' sort of thing. I looked at the Accounting page, and it is crazy intimidating.

A course could be organized like this:

(Government Type) ex: Country/state/province/county/city/etc. (Income tax rate(s)) ex: Graduated or Flat. If Graduated, list in table form. Is there a level, below which, no tax is collected at all? (Due date(s)) ex: Collected how often? When? (Collecting Body) ex: Who does the collecting? How do they accept payment? What form does the payment need to take? (Required Materials)

         -Information-  ex:  What information must you have before beginning the process of personal income tax preparation?
         -Forms- ex:  What forms are going to be necessary for the process?
         -Fees- ex:  Will there be fees?  For what?  How much?
         -Materials/Resources- ex:  What kind of programs exist that can aid in this process?  These should be listed in a table format that compares their relative advantages/disadvantages, such as cost, frequency of updates and accuracy(I do not know if there is a rating for this).
                                    What kind of aid might someone enlist in this process?  These shold be listed in a table format as well.

(Methods) ex: This section would go over the methods of preparing personal income tax. What is taxable income? What isn't? What counts as a tax exemption? Are there government programs/incentives that could be taken advantage of? How? I have no idea how to organize this section.

I'd be very grateful for any help you wikidemics can provide.

As far as learning projects go, I'm thinking a set of info/papers/account info/etc (whatever's needed) could be created for a John Doe type guy, or for several John Doe type guys. Learners would do his/her/their taxes and submit them for critiques. These would be updated when laws are changed, along with the course contents themselves. What do you think?
