Today, we announced a new collaboration with Google Cloud that further simplifies tax preparation for millions of TurboTax customers this tax season. With Google Cloud’s generative AI capabilities, Intuit is expanding done-for-you autofill of tax returns for the ten most common U.S. tax forms (1099, 1040)—which can vary significantly in complexity—saving time and boosting accuracy.
In tax year 2023, TurboTax successfully processed 44 million U.S. tax returns and $107 billion in U.S. tax refunds on Intuit’s platform using the company’s Generative AI Operating System (GenOS). GenOS combines the power of Intuit’s rich data, custom trained financial large language models (LLMs), and proprietary tax knowledge engine with an extensible catalog of best-in-class LLMs to deliver highly personalized done-for-you experiences.
Already, Intuit’s near-decade of deep expertise in AI-driven document understanding with TurboTax enables broad support for tax document import, upload, and photo capture, and auto-fill of a majority of tax returns, minimizing manual data entry. This tax year, by integrating Google Cloud Document AI technology and Gemini models in GenOS, Intuit has expanded support for complicated 1099 forms (1099-B, 1099-COMP, 1099-OID), and tax form1040 (plus Schedules 1, 2, 3, A, C, E), which can also vary in complexity.
For example, investors in stocks, bonds, and crypto are benefiting from automated data extraction and autofill into tax returns from complicated 1099 forms. They no longer have to spend time navigating multiple screens per document and filling in up to ten fields (depending on the number of transactions per brokerage), or manually transcribing data from multiple brokerage forms (which can vary significantly by format, verbiage, etc.) when preparing their taxes.
“This tax season, we’re delivering on Intuit’s promise to millions of TurboTax customers to do the hard work for them—so they don’t have to,” said Intuit Chief Technology Officer Alex Balazs. “Our collaboration with Google Cloud is making a big difference in the day-to-day lives of consumers this tax season. It’s a shining example of how we’re harnessing the power of Intuit’s AI, data and tax domain expertise—with world-class Google Doc AI and Gemini technology—on our GenOS to deliver breakthrough done-for-you experiences at scale. I’m fired up about our results to date, and excited about what the future holds.”
“Google Cloud’s partnership with Intuit showcases the power of AI to solve real-world problems by simplifying the tax preparation process for millions of TurboTax users this tax season,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “With Document AI and Gemini models, TurboTax can extract, categorize, and accurately populate data from the most complex tax forms, making filing more efficient, less error-prone, and ultimately, more accessible for everyone.”
