tax pros losing market share to self-filers

do the math: pro market shrinks by 2 points.

the nation’s tax professionals have e-filed fewer than 44 million returns through march 21, off 1.3% or 571,000 returns, from the same point past year, while self-filers are running 5.9% ahead of last year, having transmitted 31.7 million returns.

do the math and you’ll find professionals’ 60% share of the e-filing market last year has slipped to about 58% – a seemingly small amount that, nevertheless, translates into hundreds of thousands of returns and millions in lost revenues. it’s a trend that shows no sign of slowing or reversing, according to 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 analysis.
