Tax preparers waste significant time correcting AI errors and manually mapping K-1 codes in SurePrep, making it harder than just training staff on UltraTax.

SurePrep's AI makes frequent errors on complex tax forms, requires senior-level manual intervention for K-1 codes, and produces confusing workpaper markups that even trainers can't explain.
