Now filers can have their tax year 2024 taxes prepared for them in as little as two hours.

Once matched, TurboTax’s tax document import and upload capabilities make sharing tax data with their experts a breeze, dramatically improving speed, accuracy, and ultimately providing customers with access to their money quickly. A new real-time progress tracker within the TurboTax iOS mobile app makes it easy for customers to go about their day, easily following their expert's progress. The tracker indicates when the tax expert has questions, progressed, or is done, eliminating the uncertainty that comes with traditional tax prep methods. Upfront and transparent pricing ensures there are no surprise fees.

Intuit’s AI-Driven Platform Delivers ‘Done-For-You’ Taxes

For millions of Americans, the tax refund, averaging over $3,000, represents the largest paycheck of the year.¹ Getting fast access to those funds can be critical. However, preparing taxes can be stressful and confusing, and filers can waste unnecessary time manually entering information from their tax forms, which can lead to unintended mistakes, or answering questions that aren’t relevant to their situation. For those who choose to file their tax year 2024 taxes on their own, TurboTax, built on Intuit’s AI-driven expert platform, offers a personalized, fast, and confidence-inspiring tax preparation and filing experience with built-in guidance, and faster access to their refunds.

TurboTax’s industry-leading tax document auto-fill capabilities offer broad support of tax document import, upload, and photo capture. Customers have multiple methods to automatically enter their data, including simple document import from more than 350 financial institutions. Intuit’s AI platform then auto-fills the majority of tax returns, minimizing manual data entry, and enabling a truly "done-for-you" tax filing experience. Continuing to build on the previously announced Intuit Assist, customers receive thorough and personalized explanations throughout the filing process, ensuring customers understand the “why” behind the numbers, adding to their confidence that their taxes are done right. While automated workflows anticipate the filer’s needs, serving up real-time accuracy checks as customers complete their return.

Seamless integrations across TurboTax and Credit Karma, and TurboTax and QuickBooks, eliminate the need for customers to juggle multiple financial apps. New this year, year-round personalized tax insights and suggestions ensure Credit Karma customers get the best tax outcome on their life events throughout the year. These integrations, combined with Intuit’s AI-driven document import and auto-fill technology further streamlines data entry for Intuit customers across its platform.

TurboTax continues to offer its faster refund solutions. Customers can get their refund with speed through Intuit’s Up To 5 Days Early² with Credit Karma Money³. And with its online Refund Advance loan,⁴ approved customers can get up to $4,000 into a Credit Karma Money account in as little as 60 seconds after IRS acceptance of their tax filing,⁵ with $0 loan fees, 0% APR, and no credit score impact.⁶

Intuit's Consumer Platform Helps Customers Make Smart Money Decisions at Tax Time and Beyond

Seamlessly connecting TurboTax and Credit Karma, Intuit's consumer platform empowers customers to make smarter money decisions at tax time and beyond. Starting this January, Credit Karma members will receive personalized tax-impacting insights throughout the year, ensuring they get the best possible tax outcome when the time comes to file their taxes directly within the app’s powered-by-TurboTax experience. For instance, customers with mortgages might receive a mortgage interest deduction insight that conveys the estimated figure they can deduct from the interest they've paid on their home loan.

Directly within the Credit Karma app, Intuit’s AI platform will automatically organize tax documents, transfer relevant data, and auto-fill a majority of the customer’s return, eliminating manual entry and reducing accidental customer typos. After they’ve completed filing, Credit Karma members are able to optimize their money and take advantage of financial opportunities.

Intuit’s consumer platform delivers a truly personalized, ‘done-for-you’ financial experience, empowering customers to make smart money decisions, take steps to improve their financial health year-round, and achieve their best tax outcome, guaranteed.
