Yes, but for things where all you have is a W-2, the IRS could easily do your taxes for you. They could send everyone a letter saying, “based on what we have, these are your numbers. If you want to change what we know, feel free to file yourself or with something like TurboTax.” Then you get the best of both worlds: people with simple taxes don’t have to deal with it, and people with complex situations can keep doing what they’re doing.
The (previous) existence of the 1040EZ showed that a lot of people have simple returns that the IRS could do for them.
