Can you elaborate on that, perhaps with some substantive example?
I believe that these companies lobby to keep IRS from providing free tax prep, but I do not think that they lobby to make the tax code more complicated.
It’s my understanding that the tax code is complicated as a result of disparate efforts to increase support among voting blocks, to encourage/discourage behaviors, and to reward supporters/backers.
