Pros

  • determine necessary tax forms needed to fill based on users' answers to selected questions
  • customization capability for users that are well-versed in their tax situation (i.e., ability to select deductions themselves)

Alternatives Considered
We select TurboTax for its wide user base (familiarity), price points (multiple offerings based on users' needs), user experience (intuitiveness), technology (adaptive to user tax situations and simplify user data entry by means of upload feature), customer support (for implementer and end-users) and expert support (i.e., CPA), cloud capability, safety and security. Other products also offer several features like those but not to the same level of comprehensiveness and sophistication.
