With Google Cloud’s Doc AI and Gemini models, TurboTax expands done-for-you tax return autofill for ten common tax forms to save time and boost accuracy

LAS VEGAS, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cloud Next ’25, LAS VEGAS — Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, today announced a new collaboration with Google Cloud that further simplifies tax preparation for millions of TurboTax customers this tax season. With Google Cloud’s generative AI capabilities, Intuit is expanding done-for-you autofill of tax returns for the ten most common U.S. tax forms (1099, 1040) – which can vary significantly in complexity – saving time and boosting accuracy.

In tax year 2023, TurboTax successfully processed 44 million U.S. tax returns and $107 billion in U.S. tax refunds on Intuit’s platform using the company’s Generative AI Operating System (GenOS). GenOS combines the power of Intuit’s rich data, custom trained financial large language models (LLMs), and proprietary tax knowledge engine with an extensible catalog of best-in-class LLMs to deliver highly personalized done-for-you experiences.

Already, Intuit’s near-decade of deep expertise in AI-driven document understanding with TurboTax enables broad support for tax document import, upload, and photo capture, and auto-fill of a majority of tax returns, minimizing manual data entry. This tax year, by integrating Google Cloud Document AI technology and Gemini models in GenOS, Intuit has expanded support for complicated 1099 forms (1099-B, 1099-COMP, 1099-OID), and tax form1040 (plus Schedules 1, 2, 3, A, C, E), which can also vary in complexity.

For example, investors in stocks, bonds, and crypto are benefiting from automated data extraction and autofill into tax returns from complicated 1099 forms. They no longer have to spend time navigating multiple screens per document and filling in ten fields (depending on the number of transactions per brokerage), or manually transcribing data from multiple brokerage forms (which can vary significantly by format, verbiage, etc.) when preparing their taxes.

“This tax season, we’re delivering on Intuit’s promise to millions of TurboTax customers to do the hard work for them—so they don’t have to,” said Intuit Chief Technology Officer Alex Balazs. “Our collaboration with Google Cloud is making a big difference in the day-to-day lives of consumers this tax season. It’s a shining example of how we’re harnessing the power of Intuit’s AI, data and tax domain expertise—with world-class Google Doc AI and Gemini technology—on our GenOS to deliver breakthrough done-for-you experiences at scale. I’m fired up about our results to date, and excited about what the future holds.”

“Google Cloud’s partnership with Intuit showcases the power of AI to solve real-world problems by simplifying the tax preparation process for millions of TurboTax users this tax season,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “With Document AI and Gemini models, TurboTax can extract, categorize, and accurately populate data from the most complex tax forms, making filing more efficient, less error-prone, and ultimately, more accessible for everyone.”

TurboTax provides online tax preparation services for people to do their own taxes or access experts to prepare and file taxes for them, with TurboTax Live Full Service, TurboTax Live Assisted, helping people get their best tax outcome. For those who choose to file their tax year 2024 taxes on their own, TurboTax, built on Intuit’s AI-driven expert platform, offers a personalized, fast, and confidence-inspiring tax preparation and filing experience with built-in guidance, and faster access to their refunds. Seamless experiences across TurboTax and Credit Karma, and TurboTax and QuickBooks, enable customers to file personal or business taxes within their preferred Intuit product.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
