Well, I am glad to stand corrected.

Most of my knowledge of it comes from all the threads about Intuit's and H&R Block's lobbying regarding what IRS could and could not do to simplify tax filling.

If you don’t me asking. If it is as straightforward, what actually is the point in said lobbying?

Many people don't realize it's straightforward to fill out a 1040 form and assume they need to buy specialty software or go to a tax preparation place like H&R Block. Naturally they're not going to tell them otherwise.
