H&R Block Uses IBM Watson to Aid Tax Preparers
H&R Block equips each of its 70 000 tax preparers with a Watson powered screen facing clients. The system guides questions to reduce human error while IBM and Block claim the aim is to assist professionals not replace them. Watson analyzes preparer notes and suggests topics from credits to deductions.
