So, you pick up a copy of IRS Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax, get a pencil and a piece of paper, and sit down to run the numbers. Then reality hits you. IRS publication 505 is 58 pages long, three columns wide, totaling more than 46,000 words\u2014the size of a small novel\u2014and only a small portion of what\u2019s needed to get a complete picture of quarterly taxes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-1040-es\" target=\"_blank\">IRS 1040ES<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Calculating estimated taxes can be complicated.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To meet this and other needs unique to business consultants, freelance writers, contract programmers, ride-share drivers, and other gig workers, Intuit\u2019s QuickBooks Self-Employed financial software uses AI and machine learning technology to automate time-consuming processes (expense tracking, profit and earnings forecasts, estimated tax calculations, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>In a survey of QuickBooks Self-Employed customers earlier this year, we made an important discovery. Despite the fact that we were able to provide incredibly accurate quarterly tax estimates\u2014using our customers\u2019 data with permission\u2014a lack of full confidence in the results emerged as one of their major pain points. They needed us to explain how we\u2019d arrived at the estimate by \u201cshowing our work.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Explaining the logic behind the numbers<\/h2>\n<p>Luckily, we knew exactly what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Having solved a similar problem for TurboTax users a few years ago, we formed a cross-company mission team to apply the same solution to QuickBooks Self-Employed.<\/p>\n<p>In under three weeks, the team integrated our Knowledge Engine (KE) platform into QuickBooks Self-Employed, bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.turbotax.intuit.com\/turbotax-news\/turbotax-delivers-smart-effortless-tax-preparation-and-your-maximum-tax-refund-guaranteed-21004\/\" target=\"_blank\">ExplainWhy<\/a> into production in March 2019 as a standard feature.<\/p>\n<p>Our next-generation Knowledge Engine is a breakthrough in the tax preparation industry. Designed specifically to support large-scale Q&amp;A systems using advanced AI algorithms with knowledge representations underneathKE encodes more than 80,000 pages of U.S. tax compliance requirements into machine computable tax knowledge graphs and correlates them to myriad scenarios facing today\u2019s tax filers.<\/p>\n<p>A collection of algorithms finds what\u2019s missing (complete data), what\u2019s wrong (contradictions), and explains why (explaining recommendations). In this manner, KE minimizes and tailors the number of questions needed to provide\u2014and explain back\u2014computational results to our customers in a personalized way.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike simple look-up systems, ExplainWhy interacts with the QuickBooks Self-Employed user via an incremental and interactive dialog. ExplainWhy generates progressive explanations that are logically related, allowing the user to drill down as far as needed to fully understand the numbers in just seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, this results in a personalized, contextual, streamlined experience that boosts tax filer confidence.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cAre you <u>sure<\/u>?\u201d\u2014ExplainWhy in Action<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s say Uber driver Adriana uses QuickBooks Self-Employed to minimize the time she spends at her desk so that she can maximize her income-producing time behind the wheel.\u00a0 As April 15<sup>th<\/sup> approaches, Adriana clicks on the Quarterly Tax section to find out how much she should pay.\u00a0 The screen recommends a payment of $1,823\u2014a big hit to her net income for the month. Needless to say, she\u2019s a bit shocked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c$1,823? How can that be right?\u201d she asks herself. That\u2019s when Adriana notices the link titled \u201cExplainWhy,\u201d right below the due date.\u00a0 Curious, she clicks. ExplainWhy provides a clear, conversational answer and also suggests possible follow-up questions.
