The tax code is kept complicated in order to make carve outs for special interest groups. Intuit has no way of influencing real estate, trust, investment, alimony, disability, etc. tax regulations. Intuit profits from a complicated tax code but it’s not like their lobbying is what makes the estate and inheritance tax code complicated. They surely want to make filing as complicated as possible so they can streamline it for you. Intuit surely lobbies to prevent the IRS from advertising free tax filing options. I’m sure they would like the forms to be as arcane as possible but I don’t think that congress has anything to do with the layout of the forms and worksheets.
