The argument is that you don't need a third party like Intuit to get this information. The IRS could get it themselves - they choose not to.

They can’t. Because IRS IT has been starved, beaten and abused for 20 years. If they had the resources and leadership, all of this could be possible via MOUs and better data access/normalization from the mainframes.

I agree, but IMO this is a choice. Not a fact of life.
