User Testimonials
	Intuit TurboTax	Pilot.com
Likelihood to Recommend	Intuit Intuit TurboTax is well suited for most scenarios ranging from simple filing (i.e., single filing, one employer, limited asset, same state as employer) to complicated filing (i.e., married filing jointly, changing employers, different state as employers or WFH, multiple assets such as real estate and cryptocurrencies, entrepreneurship side-gig). TurboTax does not have wide-range offerings and partnerships with crypto exchanges so crypto owners may use a different service to generate the necessary tax forms for TurboTax to digest.

I like all the financial reporting they do, which is something I would struggle with on my own. GM Greg Mischio Founder and CEO Read full review

Cons	Intuit integration with other applications such as Mint online and cloud sign-up for multiple Intuit applications is unsmooth price point for state tax filing can be made staggered (cheaper for simple form) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. I would say that only room for improvement would be to offer more educational opportunities that explain what the numbers mean. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Intuit Intuit TurboTax is much simpler and easy to use, not to mention affordable. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. Nobody else seemed to have the same capabilities and fit with our company culture as well. QuickBooks or Xero alone don't offer the same level of service and would require too much effort on our part. We used inDinero with my prior company and they just missed a lot of things that ended up causing problems. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
