Who is making an agent-forward turbotax competitor? Take my money already. Good god, the previous generation of tools suck.

Giving an agent a folder of your pay stubs / 1099s / everything for the year and telling it to “file my taxes for me” without all the messing about would be great.

I’m assuming with browser control it would already do a good job of this by driving turbo tax etc. but there’s probably a way to cut them out entirely.

Obviously you’d want to check it over, but 90% of the work for me is working around turbo tax jank / manually entering info when it fails to parse things or can’t auto link to an institution properly. An LLM steering a browser could easily do all that.
