On the heels of this performance, we’ve raised our QuickBooks Online subscriber guidance for this fiscal year.

“Overall, early indicators and unit results show our tax strategy is on track. While we faced some initial challenges as a result of a change to our desktop product lineup, we took swift action in response to our customers’ feedback. While doing so, we continue to take proactive measures to navigate a heightened sense of concern about tax fraud in the American tax system.
