I very much want this to happen. Tax code is intentionally made more difficult by tax-prep lobbyists who want to ensure that doing it without them is impossibly difficult. With a free solution direct from the IRS, there is no incentive to keep the system complicated and maybe we all benefit. I imagine that the rich will fight tooth and nail against simplicity though. Part of the complexity is around the loopholes which keep companies and the very wealthy from actually paying their fair share. A simple, straightforward tax code would cost them a huge amount of money… more than just buying off politicians.
