Furthermore, the growth in the TurboTax Live offering is likely to have been accretive to the Consumer tax business during the fiscal second quarter, driven by growing customer engagement. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $560 million from the Consumer tax business calls for growth of 281% year over year.

Moreover, higher costs and expenses due to increased investments in marketing and engineering teams are expected to have negatively impacted Intuit’s second-quarter bottom line.
