TaxGPT Is Coming for Your Refund

In a move that screams “The future is weird, but okay”, Intuit has signed a $100 million-plus deal with OpenAI — officially allowing ChatGPT to give you life advice that might actually affect your money — because apparently, your accountant wasn’t judgmental enough. 

 Nothing says “financial security” like letting a robot explain your tax refund. Soon, you can ask ChatGPT to estimate tax refunds, check credit options, or send invoice reminders — all using your own financial data (with permission, of course). Basically, your finances just got a chatbot bestie!

This partnership isn’t just another “AI in everything” moment. Intuit’s apps will directly influence financial decisions — which sounds impressive and slightly terrifying. To calm the nerves, Intuit swears their bots won’t “hallucinate” your mortgage balance or invent tax deductions for your cat — thanks to all their “data validation” and years of expertise.

Bruce Chan, an Intuit spokesperson, assured everyone that when their AI gives you advice, it’s pulling from “Intuit’s deep expertise and 360-degree view of the customer.” Translation: it knows things about your financial habits you’ve never admitted to anyone — including your therapist.

The company’s been building up its AI muscles for years, rolling out “Intuit Assist” in 2023, and now it’s leveling up with OpenAI’s latest models — plus continuing to use ChatGPT Enterprise to make employee life easier (or at least more robotic).

In summary: Intuit just made your money interactive. Soon, you’ll be chatting your way through taxes, budgeting, and credit card choices — all while trying not to yell at a very polite robot that already knows you spent $387 last month on takeout.
