>Why does every employee in the US need to pay an accountant to file their corporate payroll taxes, when the corporation knows how much they paid and can just use THEIR accountant to report this same information?
You don't need an accountant, and employees do not pay "corporate payroll taxes", they usually just pay income tax to the federal government.
And if you think tax liability is based solely on amount of pay received from an employer, then I think you must not have any experience with paying income taxes in the US.
>The IRS just closed their free file under Trump admin
Free Fillable Forms is still available for electronic submissions. What closed was the government provided alternative to guided tax preparation software like TurboTax.
> some states have NO WAY for you to file taxes without an accountant!

I doubt this. Please provide an example.
