It might be able to be secure somehow, but our government is not there yet.
Had to make a correction. There are private businesses that take online security seriously. Our government? Not so much.

And the thing you mention first about fake tax returns is exactly why I think mail in ballots aren't a good idea. Not trying to make this political, it's just that we've done such a poor job of protecting the personal information of people that there's too much out there to know for sure that the person requesting is actually the person who should be receiving.
