    I don’t know the organization so can’t speak to the source or their methodology but they do note:

    The top ways people plan to use AI is to help answer filing questions, find deductions or credits, and review returns for mistakes.

    All of which seem pretty reasonable. If you don’t have the money for a professional, at least checking with something that is right more often than not with some basic questions seems perfectly reasonable.

    From the reactions above, it seems people are assuming they’re just asking chatgpt to do all their taxes, which doesn’t appear to be the case.

      Both Turbotax and Taxact have sections for questions on every section while filing, you can even talk to an advisor while filing. Using AI to review or figure out deductions is just being lazy.
