​Intuit Inc., the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, has opened its new Intuit TurboTax flagship store in New York City’s SoHo neighbourhood, reimagining the future of personal and small business tax filing by combining the power of its all-in-one, agentic AI-driven consumer platform and human intelligence (HI) to deliver the ultimate done-for-you tax experience. The opening of the new Intuit TurboTax flagship store at 463 Broadway in New York City’s SoHo neighbourhood marks the nationwide launch of nearly 600 Expert Office locations and 20 new TurboTax Stores, successfully completing the expansion phase initiated last year. By seamlessly merging advanced agentic AI with a network of local AI-powered human expertise, Intuit is creating a system of intelligence that anticipates consumer needs, automates the tedium of tax preparation, and gives customers the confidence they need based on their unique tax situation. Intuit’s consumer platform actively works in the filers' best interest to find them more money, easier and faster.

“We are fundamentally redefining what it means to get taxes done by delivering a first-of-its-kind seamless integration of our digital and physical experience,” said Mark Notarainni, executive vice president and general manager, consumer group, Intuit. “This isn’t just another tax store; it is the physical manifestation of our AI+HI strategy, a modern space where our AI and local human expertise converge to provide trusted, personalised guidance. We are providing the antidote to tax-related stress and anxiety to give filers year-round control, complete confidence, and better financial outcomes.”

The future of filing: combining the power of agentic AI with local expertise

With the opening of TurboTax stores, Intuit is fundamentally reimagining the tax landscape, creating a high-touch front door that brings digital filing and in-person expertise together in a seamless, modern experience. A distinct departure from traditional tax offices, these stores are powered by a first-of-its-kind, connected platform uniting Credit Karma and TurboTax together to support customers end to end. Tailored to filers’ unique needs, these physical locations provide them with much-needed time back and peace of mind during an overwhelming season; by eliminating manual data entry through an integrated digital-to-physical journey, Intuit ensures customers can focus on their lives with complete financial confidence.

TurboTax partnered with renowned architectural, design, and planning firm, Gensler on the design and architecture of its physical locations, as well as BUCK, a global creative company on the Forum's interactive content design. Leading global commercial real estate and investment management company, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. (JLL) is its brokerage partner.

Key components of the TurboTax store experience:

• Agentic AI-Powered 'Done-For-You' experiences: Intuit’s platform automates data entry for 90% of the most commonly used tax forms and enables the preparation of up to 80% of a simple filer's return before they even begin.
• AI-driven expert matching: Within the store or online, Intuit’s AI-powered system of intelligence matches customers with the perfect local tax expert for their specific situation within seconds.
• Seamless digital and physical integration: Stores are designed for a fluid flow where customers can start their taxes in one place and finish them in another. A seamless digital handoff ensures a local expert can pick up exactly where the customer left off, whether the filer is physically present or tracking progress in real-time via the app.
• Flexible modalities of confidence: Filers maintain agency and control in the Community Workspace via "Do It With Me" (DIWM) support or can hand off their return entirely to an expert in private Full Service offices.
• Immersive discovery and education: The Flagship’s Forum—a 30-foot digital screen—uses ambient animations and interactive touchpoints to highlight the value of expert guidance and help filers understand their financial options with clarity.
