Intuit is committed to helping low- and middle-income filers maximize their tax refunds. We do that by ensuring eligible filers don\u2019t miss out on important tax credits and deductions like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC). While millions of households claim these credits, the IRS says many more are eligible but fail to take advantage of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/turbotax.intuit.com\/personal-taxes\/online\/live\/how-it-works.htm\" target=\"_blank\">TurboTax Live Tax Experts<\/a>, accessibility tools, and other TurboTax features make filing taxes a breeze, no matter the tax situation. That\u2019s why 113 million taxpayers have filed their taxes with us for free over the last nine years\u2013more than all other tax preparation software companies combined. And, if someone needs more time preparing their taxes, they can use our free <a href=\"https:\/\/turbotax.intuit.com\/irs-tax-extensions\/\" target=\"_blank\">TurboTax Easy Extension tool<\/a>, saving them the hassle of additional forms.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditkarma.com\/about\/commentary\/many-americans-will-rely-on-tax-refunds-to-make-ends-meet-despite-shrinking-refunds\" target=\"_blank\">30% of Americans<\/a> say they\u2019re reliant on their tax refund to make ends meet in 2023. Intuit knows that tax refunds are often a family\u2019s largest check of the year, with people using refunds to pay down debt, bolster their savings, or cover expenses at a time when economic uncertainty is top of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Intuit proudly serves over 100 million customers. From the single parent next-door, to family farmers, occupational therapists, to everyone in between\u2014 taxpayers can rely on Intuit. We know that even honest mistakes can lead to costly fines and penalties and we are proud to be that advocate for everyday people so they feel confident during Tax Season and beyond. We go through over 6,000+ pages of federal tax code so you don\u2019t have to. We also provide taxpayers with cutting-edge products, tax experts, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intuit.com\/blog\/innovative-thinking\/tech-innovation\/how-intuit-empowers-your-favorite-small-businesses-with-enterprise-ai\/\" >smart AI tools<\/a>. Intuit\u2019s features\u2013which include a self-employed expense estimator, crypto tax calculator, charitable deductions calculator, and tax refund estimator\u2013save customers time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to empower taxpayers to better understand their taxes and take charge of their personal finances. We heard from California TurboTax customer, Antonia, about her experience filing taxes with TurboTax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antonia is an occupational therapist and TurboTax customer with a visual disability that makes reading fine print difficult. Thanks to TurboTax\u2019s accessibility features, Antonia says the platform goes \u201cabove and beyond my expectations\u2026 [and] is accessible to everyone, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She recommends TurboTax and its trusted tax experts, which provide \u201ceasy-to-understand explanations under each step, so I know I\u2019m getting the best possible return.\u201d Life is busy enough\u2013Intuit strives to help individuals easily navigate their finances by simplifying the complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our core mission is to provide easy-to-understand tax and financial guidance to all individuals from all walks of life who are seeking peace of mind in their financial lives.
