They built IRS Direct File which was a huge improvement. Then the administration killed it to serve tax prep companies.
IRS direct file is just not that complex, I promise you, and are you sure it was even built in house vs contracted?
Not that impressive.
I'd be more impressed we got rid of income tax on salaried people entirely, or permit families the same type of deductions that businesses get, and only tax my actual profit - I can't deduct my overpriced housing, or my utilities unless I have a home office for ny own business.
All amazing ideas (I mean that seriously) but unfortunately not within the IRS's power to make happen.
