Intuit's TurboTax Live: Can Assisted Tax Sustain the Momentum?
Intuit's INTU TurboTax Live reported 37% revenue growth in fiscal 2026, with 53% of TurboTax revenues coming from Live. Assisted tax, 88%-90% of TurboTax's addressable market, is a key growth driver. Intuit plans to invest in customer acquisition and AI. Growth is expected to slow in fiscal 2027. H&R Block HRB and Thomson Reuters TRI also reported growth in tax services.
