Intuit’s Switching Costs Are Doing Anything but Taxing Its Wide Moat

Intuit is the giant behind U.S. small-business accounting software QuickBooks and do-it-yourself U.S. tax software TurboTax. With TurboTax and QuickBooks online sales having eclipsed their respective desktop sales, Intuit has now transitioned into a cloud-first company. Consequently, this has enabled Intuit to leverage customer data to streamline the user experience across disparate products and to natively market its offerings, in turn supporting switching costs and a network effect, which we consider to already be the backbones of Intuit’s wide moat.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Intuit’s tax revenue should climb at a healthy rate as the company’s solutions intersect with the assisted tax-filing base.

Bears

Some countries outside of the U.S. automatically generate citizens’ tax files. If the U.S. adopted a similar program, Intuit’s TurboTax business could face material headwinds.
