Cons
- Fee required for CPA filing: While connecting expenses and using AI features is free, full CPA-assisted tax filing requires a paid plan, which may not suit users seeking a fully free option.
- Primarily optimized for self-employed users: The platform is designed with freelancers and 1099 workers in mind; pure W-2 employees may find fewer unique advantages over standard consumer tax software.
- Requires account linking: Maximum deduction discovery relies on connecting bank and financial accounts, which some privacy-conscious users may be hesitant to do.
