    Wolters Kluwer
    This application is best suited for enterprise use cases. It interfaces with almost every other major platform at the enterprise level and is scalable to the nth degree. But that comes at a high price tag, given that it integrates with everything and is used relatively ubiquitously. Any recommendations that I would give on the platform would be based on enterprise applicability.

    Intuit
    Intuit TurboTax is well suited for most scenarios ranging from simple filing (i.e., single filing, one employer, limited asset, same state as employer) to complicated filing (i.e., married filing jointly, changing employers, different state as employers or WFH, multiple assets such as real estate and cryptocurrencies, entrepreneurship side-gig). TurboTax does not have wide-range offerings and partnerships with crypto exchanges so crypto owners may use a different service to generate the necessary tax forms for TurboTax to digest.

    Alternatives Considered
    Wolters Kluwer
    CCH Axcess was very comparable to Thomson Reuters. They are both large companies in their fields and have similar resources. We ultimately went with Thomson Reuters because we bundled with their other softwares for a better price and it makes sense to be with one company to deal with one customer support line.

    Intuit TurboTax is much simpler and easy to use, not to mention affordable.
