From my quick search, SimpleFile appears to be a CRA technology as opposed to one leased from an external corporation - so, yay that bit is done within-house. The program focuses on disadvantaged individuals and essentially competes with (predatory) commercial tax preparation services. I don't really mean this as a partisan comment, but this is what good government looks like in my eyes - working for the people to grow the country in a good direction. It sounds very effective too

Yeah, it really is odd that so many people have to use a commercial third party for taxes when the vast majority of people have very simple situations.
