TurboTax is a relatively new product, and they haven't been big lobbyists for their whole existence. Why wasn't the tax process simple before then?

TurboTax was first released in 1984, according to Wikipedia.

That's ~20 years before Sweden got everything prefilled for some of the population. As an example.

No. TurboTax has been around for as long as people have had their own computers.
