Tax season used to mean a shoebox of receipts, a confusing form, and either a stressful weekend or a bill from an accountant. Now it increasingly means a chatbot walking you through your deductions, a tax platform flagging missed credits automatically, and software that imports your financial data from linked accounts in seconds. AI has made a real entrance into the tax filing process – but whether it's actually making things easier depends a lot on who's using it and what they're dealing with.
