But that's a bad solution. (Otherwise why do TurboTax et al even exist in the first place?)

IRS should just have a public free filing solution for everyone. If you have complicated taxes or want to do your own filing, you can still do that.

They do. https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/free-file-fillable-form.... And no it isn't a bad solution. I use it every year.

		From their description: "You do the work" That's not what we're talking about. What we're talking about is: "We did your tax return for you based on all the information reported to us. Please click 'OK' to complete your return for the year."
