Well, Intuit lobbying/bribery has a lot to do with it in the last couple decades.

I was referring to the complexity of the tax code, not the filing system itself.

Complexity of the tax code is just part of the system Intuit wants. If taxes were simple you wouldn't have to pay for unique software right?

While I absolute believe that Intuit and others are responsible for the lack of (1) free, highly functional e-filing and (2) response filing, the complexity in the US tax code is beyond their purview and precedes their existence.
