Intuit's position isn't necessarily pro-complexity, they'd actually prefer the tax code simplified somewhat, because they'd need far fewer employees to update the tax code information in the software every year. The lobbying is to keep the IRS from A) releasing free 1040EZ/A software and B) keep the IRS from simplifying even further and just sending you a bill, like HMRC does.
- nostrademons 10y agoIt's somewhat infuriating that the IRS doesn't just send you a bill. It has full data on every form you put into TurboTax. It runs its own calculations independently and checks them against your return. It has full knowledge of the tax code. If you disagree with it, the IRS just tacks on penalties & interest and eventually garnishes your wages. Why not just send a bill?
