In Chile, the government gives you the opportunity to pre-fill all your info. You could use gov-only accounting tools and at the end of the year everything is done for you. Just one click and you get your return, this has been true for 10+ years IIRC. When I moved to the US (7 years ago) I was so overwhelmed with taxes that I decided to pay for an accountant. This year I used TurboTax and even though there's a nice "wizard" it still feels overly (and unnecessary) complex.
As others have stated in comments, there's nothing special about US taxes that mandate it should be this complex, other than special interests of people wanting to make things complex for their own benefit.
