The US system is intentionally designed for companies like TurboTax to make money off of you and to be a political tool.
There's a lot you still have to report yourself, like cash payments or sales, crypto currency, dependents, charitable contributions, and so on.
It's not like the IRS magically knows everything. You're acting as if people only avoid tax fraud because the IRS has a general idea as to what you owe and they keep it secret from you. People are generally pretty decent. The people intentionally committing tax fraud are gonna try whether the IRS keeps your taxes secret from you or not.
