Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Wonderful. Well, you, I'm sure, have a great perspective on just the culture of Intuit. We often hear about how that's a strength of the company,
the platform that has been built across consumer and small business. So maybe just if you want to elaborate a little bit on what it is that makes the
culture so special at Intuit. And --
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Wonderful. And you've been in the organization for quite some time. Yeah, you've seen a lot of the evolution of the tax platform. I think you we're
on the team that was responsible for launching TurboTax Live, now TurboTax full-service. So maybe if you want to just provide a little bit of
perspective on that effort. What was the kind of rationale? When did the company decide that Live was the next step for the TurboTax franchise
and full service? And what was involved in pulling that platform together?
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Wonderful. Before we get into the tax quarter that you just reported, while we're on the same topic, you did a great job outlining the platform and
the evolution there and the rationale for launching offering. How is it different from a go-to-market standpoint? That's in traditional DIY, do it
yourself category. How is assisted different? How are those filers into differently from the traditional DIY?
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Wonderful. While we're on that topic, when you say that one of the advantages is having that local presence, can you give us a sense for how
involved the CPA is in the assisted category? The question that I'm getting at is really what do the unit economics look like? And how can that get
to what you are seeing in TurboTax Online and traditional software business?
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Sure. Understood. Well, why don't we get to the tax quarter that you reported recently? How -- Do you have any highlights you want to point out
here from the how the tax season unfolded, how the results, where you ended up through this -- through the tax season. Anything you'd like to
highlight on the Q3 tax quarter?
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Wonderful. I wonder if we could unpack the kind of core growth drivers in the business for consumer tax. IRS returns growth, your share of that
revenue per return. Those are the three primary growth drivers of the business. Can you just maybe comment on how each of those unfolded
through this tax season?
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Wonderful. You had talked about some share losses at the low end as you're addressing the assisted category. Could you elaborate on that? Is this
kind of a just a consequence of the fact that you're taking the franchise into this new category and it may be a little less focused in the down market
business? Or is there some competitive dynamic that we should be thinking about? I would just love to get your perspective on that?
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
: Wonderful. Why don't we shift to AI and Intuit Assist? Could you give us an understanding of kind of the underpinnings of that offerings? LLMs
supporting it, the dataset supporting that, and where is the opportunity for AI in the consumer tax business?

long-term growth target for TurboTax, despite the fact that this year, you're tracking to the low end of that. So with all these new growth initiatives,
what are the keys to getting towards the middle or high end of that range?
Question: Brad Sills - BofA Global Research (US) - Analyst
