Yes, but not that's not the whole problem. There are plenty of special interests that want their carve out. But honestly that's not even the major source of cost. The major source of cost is processing returns at all. If the IRS was allowed to do return free filing then it would massively simplify the majority of people's taxes because they don't have anything that requires the full 1040 for. That means only people who have significant and complex finances actually need to file a return.
