Most people don’t think twice about it. Tax simplification is supported so long as everyone’s tax bill goes down, but huge swaths if the population are utterly convinced that paying an accountant to do their simple W2 taxes is way better than using software or doing it themselves or letting the IRS do it because they think they have a magical ability to get more back by their arcane knowledge of mystical loopholes.
