Tax “assisted” momentum is the main positive offsetting DIY weakness (good + opportunity) - TurboTax overall growing slightly off 2024 season expectations, but company emphasized assisted tax disruption. - Assisted category acceleration: new assisted customer growth +29%; total assisted customer growth +38% with TurboTax revenue +36% (as cited for the Live mix shift). - TurboTax Live forecast (key investor datapoint): - Customers +38% for the year - TurboTax Live revenue +36% - Live becomes ~53% of total TurboTax revenue (up 11 points vs last year) - Longer-term target cited: 15%–20% revenue growth, but current trajectory is well above that. - TurboTax Online paying units forecast: +2% for the year, despite category headwinds, driven by share gains among higher ARPU filers and faster refunds.

DIY TurboTax is the major drag—management’s “fix” is model evolution, not just pricing (bad / risk) - Management described being “constructively dissatisfied” with the DIY performance. - Headwind: most price-sensitive DIY filers earning <$50k (company said it lost on price in that segment). - Expectations (forward-looking): - Management targets keeping DIY revenue share in the category for the year (rather than growth). - Plan: evolve DIY business model with better low-end lineups/price points for simple filers, and monetize beyond tax using the broader Consumer platform. - Framing from CEO: shift from complexity-based SKU logic to value-based pricing—customers may still have free/low-cost options for basic cases, but will pay when “value” drivers apply (example given: adding charity donation). - Risk implied: if price competition intensifies (including emerging competitors / GenAI-assisted substitutes), the DIY segment could remain a persistent headwind.
