TurboTax and this proposal are just a consequence of a complex, manual process that needs simplification. I'm not sure how the government would make a better product than TurboTax without spending at least as much as they have. Subsidizing private tax software would probably only succeed in widening their profit margins. It seems like the only sane way to move forward is to simplify the tax code and process.
