APPLETON, WI / AGILITYPR.NEWS / November 18, 2025 / As AI tools show up in tax prep (from ChatGPT to TikTok) many taxpayers are trying them. But tax professionals say they’re not replacing the pros. They’re creating more work.

According to new data from the National Association of Tax Professionals, one-third of tax pros report using AI for basic tasks, but many now spend extra time correcting misinformation clients bring in from online tools.
