Since nobody gave you the meaningful answer: It's republicans. Republicans are against making taxes simpler to individuals because, and they have explicitly said this, they want taxes to hurt so that Americans will be more likely to vote for tax reduction. I'm sure some democrats get a few thousand from Intuit somewhere but at the end of the day, it's republicans voting down things like free file and the government's digital initiatives and refusing to let the US gov do your taxes for you. It's frustrating how often people in the US blame "the government" instead of the very specific subset of that government that they keep voting for that objectively and openly and loudly do things that harm them.
