Segment Breakdown
- Consumer segment: +8% year-over-year
- Global Business Solutions (QuickBooks): +15% year-over-year
- TurboTax Live (assisted tax): +36% — the growth engine offsetting unit pressure
TurboTax Unit Decline
Behind the headline numbers sits a structural concern. TurboTax Online units are expected to decline roughly 2%, and the count of pay-nothing customers dropped from approximately 8 million to 7 million. This reflects encroachment from low-cost alternatives and AI-native tax preparation entrants gaining market share. Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss maintained an Overweight rating with a $580 price target, arguing that TurboTax Live's higher-margin assisted-service growth offsets the unit count pressure and that QuickBooks momentum supports the broader growth thesis.
