Why did this take the IRS so long where other nations have been doing this for decades?

Turbotax, H&R Block, and the other tax companies are massively wealthy companies that actively lobby to push laws to keep them from being simple. There are states that they have managed to bar the same thing from happening in.

To clarify, TurboTax isn’t the company, it is Intuit. They are pretty shitty when it comes to lobbying congress on this.

TurboTax isn’t the company, it is Intuit.

Technically, it was a company that Intuit acquired in '94.

They are also the de-facto place for large companies that need automated payroll. So some people (like me) get paid by the same crooks.

They are actually not the de facto for large company when it comes to payroll. I think the majority of their customers at company’s with less than 10 employees. I use to work for Intuit on the Quickbooks payroll product. I left about two years ago but I don’t think it’s changed that much.
