It's insanity. I'm sure there's some rationale for it, but it seems like it could be so much simpler.
The rationale is the tax companies want it this way, and pay politicians a lot of money to keep it this way
I'm not an expert by any means, but my understanding is there is a "tax accounting lobby" that works hard to prevent any measures to simplify it, because they would go out of business. Intuit and others.
