TurboTax is a filing tool. PlatformTaxHub is a financial operating system that keeps you ready for tax time, every day.
Built for a different job
"Not built for platform income."
Automated, Unified, Clear
"Worldwide income tracking, with country-specific tax logic where it is live."
If what you need is to actually file a US federal and state return, TurboTax Self-Employed is the tool for that job and PlatformTaxHub does not replace it. Its guided interview, form coverage, e-filing and paid access to human help are built around the act of filing, which is not something we do. Keep using it at tax time.
