To be honest I'm kinda sceptical that they will be paying fines for you.
Software licenses usually explicitly disclaim all financial damages. I assume Intuit does too (I don't use Turbotax myself).
This was the last year for me and my wife to use Turbo Tax, it's been ok for 15 years but I know AI will do it all for us next year, for free. Gemini was very helpful with questions and some skills building this year, I should have tried more. N ext year I'll basically feed in my W2, 1099s, fidelity forms, insurance, maybe 20-30 documents, and ask for my completed 1040 and related forms. The LLMs already have the dat…
I have a friend that uses ChatGPT for medical advice, so it has a lot of very personal information. He asked it if he could trust it with his financial information, and it told him no.
I’ve used a (human) CPA for over a decade. Been well worth it. He easily earns his fees back.

I agree. I just mean, you can pretty well know today's state , at least hypothetically. But you better be watching tomorrow's legal news to see if anything important changed.
Someone has to be in the news first, and then you learn about it. To that someone, the change you see in tomorrow's legal news is today, was yesterday. It's more a gamble than you think, you just don't feel it until it bites you.
Why are other outlets quoting the CEO as having said that the layoffs have "nothing to do with AI"? Is TC distinguishing between using AI versus building AI products? > "None of it had to do with AI," Goodarzi told CNBC's Jim Cramer on "Mad Money."

Gemini and GPT did my (non-trivial) taxes this year. They're going to be laying off way more than 3k people.
As a European I don't understand why this company exists at all.
I'm a happy TurboTax customer for over 25 years. The standard workflow of TurboTax hasn't changed much. You go through a work flow filling out forms. I don't use any of the OCR and little of the importing. I'm happy to type in numbers from forms myself. So normally I wouldn't have any use for AI, but they added it anyway. This year I asked it a couple of "Why" and "What If" questions, and it was actually useful. If i…
I've been using it out of laziness because I know it will import the previous year. But it is pretty buggy and getting worse, they clearly want you to move off the desktop software. If you look at the actual generated tax forms, there's a lot of extra pomp around filling out some pretty trivial forms and worksheets. If they cut the desktop software I think I will just move to something like https://www.freetaxusa.com…
So I'm surprised they even still have a desktop version (...presumably not just some electron wrapper). And given how it works, I'd guess most of your data isn't staying local for much of this.

I was forced to use their shitty desktop version inside a Windows VM because I don't have any Windows or Mac machines, and the web version doesn't support married filing federal jointly and state separately. Their desktop version seems like a webapp embedded inside browser frame; I don't understand why they can't make it available on the web.

Your experience is way different from mine. I had some very basic "double check" type questions about my very straightforward taxes I threw at the bot because it was handy and it didn't seem to know that it was even related to taxes or tax software and literally directed me to seek out someone who might know about taxes. I then asked it about the weather and it was able to talk freely about that, just seems like they…
