    I think there are companies in the US that sell a product to make taxes “easier” and they make a lot of money from it. And since they are a rich American company, they can lobbybribe the government to do what they want.

      This is correct. Also because congress changes the tax code hundreds of times per year, it is practically impossible for an individual to keep up with every minute change. You could try filing by yourself, but you’ll end up working with those tax preparers, paying them a fee instead.
