The tax reality charges for skipping practice and calling it talent.

means An obstacle or problem that takes effort, skill, or struggle to overcome.

from From Latin 'difficultas,' built from the negative prefix 'dif-' (a form of 'dis-') plus 'facilis,' meaning 'easy' or 'doable' — the same root that gives us 'facile' and 'facility.' So a difficulty is, quite literally, the opposite of ease: something that resists being done without a fight.
