And don't give you suggested values ahead of time based on the W-2 and 1099 data they already have. Also, I recall having to use the full 1040 when I had 1099 income--the 1040EZ is really just streamlined for people who had a single W-2 all year.

True, but there is a big difference - the 1040EZ is certainly easier to fill out, but the current convoluted tax laws mean that you could be leaving a substantial amount of money with the government unnecessarily. When I was first starting out I used the 1040EZ because I was scared of the complex forms - and later when I started itemizing I realized I had been overcharged easily a $1000 a year in taxes that I didn't need to owe had I simply filed my taxes differently (albeit using rather more complex forms).

It would be a very different story if the form suggested above was _the_ form, with zero loopholes available to people with expensive tax attorneys.
