This is not about simplifying the tax code. This is about filing returns.

  The point I was making is that Republicans do support tax simplification, both at the filing and tax code levels. I'd go so far as to say that every Republican candidate has at one time or another publicly supported simplification across the board when it comes to both the code and filing. If you simplify the tax code - which is desperately needed - the filing simplification is a logical extension of that. For decades Republican candidates have been talking about the idea of being able to file your taxes on a single index card. Simplifying the filing without simplifying the tax code, is putting a bandaid on a gushing wound that is getting worse every year.
