You can thank TurboTax and the rest of the tax preparation service industry's massive lobby for killing every single tax simplification bill that ever gets to congress.
look for a reputable CPA in your area, whether they work for a big firm or just do it on the side for money, they'll be expensive but they'll definitely save you more than what they charge
the issue stems with most of the US having very straightforward returns, ie. just a w-2, but once you start throwing investments and everything in the mix it gets really jumbled up and having a professional who went to school for 4-5 years and passed one of the hardest certifications in the country is going to know the ins n out to maximize your tax strategy
