Did the Tax Reform Act of 1986 simplify matters?

Article Abstract:

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 is evaluated according to its success in simplifying tax procedures. While the tax reform law has made financial planning a little easier to undertake and reduced several complicated procedural matters, compliance costs have risen. It is asserted that the degree of simplification fell short of goals and costs have been higher than in the 1980s. The effects of the tax law need to be more exhaustively analyzed so that its weaknesses can be corrected.
