Because AI agents are tool users. Why does AI need to research 2026 tax code changes and then try to one-shot your taxes when it can just use Turbotax to do it for you? Turbotax has the latest 2026 tax changes coded into the app. I'd feel much more confident if AI uses Turbotax to do my taxes than to try to one-shot it.

How does TurboTax implement the latest tax changes? My guess is that before the decade is over, the answer is "an LLM does it."

Yes but I’ll be glad to pay for human oversight at TurboTax.

Anyways, formulas are a lot better than one shot.
