It has been tried, but I haven’t seen any projects that were able to keep up.It takes a lot of manpower to update all of the various forms for every tax season. Congress can and has done things like pass a 1700+ page bill changing the tax code on Dec 20th of the same tax year, and some users will want to start filing their returns within a month. And there are 50 states that can do the same thing.

Also it requires expertise outside of programming for which there is not much enthusiasm for open source.

Becoming a CPA sucks. You need 150 credit hours, pass 4 exams with 50% pass rate, and usually needs 1 year of qualified experience to qualify. Programming is so much easier to get into.

It's intentional. The whole point is to protect the jobs from competition.
