Pretty sure they already do compile a lot of it. But then we get to play the game of “guess their number” with legal penalties if you guess wrong, so TurboTax can use fearmongering and deception to get people to pay for their software and add-ons.
Intuit and H&R Block have lobbied into the millions of dollars over the years to ensure that our taxes work exactly this way.
To date I have never used either of their products and I never will. Fuck them. Now if only literally everyone else felt the same so that they could promptly go out of business…
They’ll only help if you have an AGI less than $73k. They built a whole system to help and don’t let some people use it not because of more complex tax situations, but due to an arbitrary income limit.
