Tax prep automation is Juno's core focus, proven across tax seasons with 1,000s of firms. Juno reads source docs, builds the workpaper, pushes first-pass data directly into Drake, Lacerte, ProConnect, CCH Axcess, and more, and in Reviewer, compares your draft return field-by-field back to those source docs so your senior sees what ties out and what doesn't. Deep integrations with the tools your firm already runs: TaxDome, Karbon, Canopy, and Firm360 on practice management, plus QuickBooks and Xero for pulling business return data straight from client books. Research and advisory are there on the same client data when you need them.

Tax prep automation, proven across tax seasons

Prep is Juno's core product. Not an afterthought, not a workflow bolted onto a research tool. Juno reads client source docs (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, brokerage statements, Schedule C and E items), extracts every field, builds the workpaper, and enters the first-pass directly into your tax software. The whole platform has run across multiple tax seasons with 1,000s of firms. Your preparer opens a return that's ready to review, not ready to re-do.

Deeper integrations with the stack your firm already runs

Juno pushes first-pass data directly into Drake, Lacerte, ProConnect, CCH Axcess, and more. On practice management: TaxDome, Karbon, Canopy, Firm360. For business returns, Juno pulls trial balance and financial data straight from QuickBooks and Xero, so 1120, 1120-S, and 1065 returns start with clean numbers from the client's books. Full list on juno.tax/integrations. Firms adopt Juno without replacing anything they already use. The workflow slots in around the tools your firm already runs.

Review that ties out to the source docs

At review, you don't want to find out that a 1099 got entered wrong, or a W-2 wage didn't make it to the return, or a state K-1 landed in the wrong box. Upload your draft return to Juno Reviewer, and Juno compares every field against the source docs it already validated during prep. The actual W-2, 1099, K-1, or brokerage statement. Mismatches surface with plain-language explanations, so your senior isn't hunting line-by-line between two monitors.

Advisory on the same client data as prep

Advisor is built on the same workflow as prep. It answers complex tax questions with citations from the IRC, Treasury regulations, and IRS publications, builds client tax plans, and drafts client communications. All running off the return you just prepped. One client's picture, one platform, no re-establishing context in a different tool.

Built by a CPA who ran a tax firm

Juno was founded by a CPA who scaled his own firm and prepared thousands of returns before writing a line of software. That perspective shows up in the small choices: what the workpaper looks like, how mismatches surface, how prior-year comparison works, when the reviewer needs to step in. Built for how firms actually run, by someone who ran one.

Transparent pricing & free trial

Juno's pricing is simple, transparent, and publicly available on juno.tax/pricing. You can also test it yourself by starting a free trial with 5 free preparations with no credit card required. Prep real returns on your own client docs, make the call then.

The bottom line

Juno is tax prep automation built by a CPA, trusted by 1,000s of tax firms. Prep is the main thing. Deep integrations with the tax software and practice management tools your firm already runs. Review runs during prep against the source docs. Advisor is there on the same client data when you need it. Pricing is public. Try 5 preparations before you pay.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Juno is tax prep automation built by a CPA. Prep is the core product, with review during prep and advisory running on the same client data. TaxGPT is a broader platform that includes research, writing, Cowork agents, Client Intelligence, and Agent Andrew for review as distinct products. For firms where the main daily job is prepping and reviewing returns, Juno is usually the simpler fit.

Juno pulls data from source docs, builds the workpaper, and enters data directly into Drake, Lacerte, ProConnect, CCH Axcess, and more. For business returns, Juno pulls trial balance and financial data straight from QuickBooks and Xero. The platform has run across multiple tax seasons with 1,000s of firms. TaxGPT's prep sits inside its Cowork and AI Tax Preparation products (Pro Plus and Enterprise tiers), launched in 2026. Cowork uses agents that operate inside the same tax software through the user interface.

Both offer AI review, at different stages. Juno Reviewer runs after the draft return is generated. You upload the draft back to Juno, and it compares every field against the source docs it already validated during prep, flagging mismatches with plain-language explanations. TaxGPT's Agent Andrew reads the finished return and flags likely issues based on the return itself, without comparing against the source documents.

Both include tax research. Juno's Advisor answers tax questions with citations from the IRC, Treasury regulations, and IRS publications, builds client tax plans, and drafts client communications, all running off the same client data as the prepped return. TaxGPT started as an AI tax research tool, with research as its original core product.

Both are SOC 2 Type II certified. Both encrypt client data at rest and in transit. Neither trains models on firm data.

Juno pricing is published on juno.tax/pricing. Per return, with volume discounts you can model before booking a demo. TaxGPT pricing isn't published, it is likely quoted after a demo based on team size, client count, and capabilities.

Juno is often a good fit for firms where day-to-day work is prepping and reviewing returns, where predictable per-return pricing matters, and where the stack already includes TaxDome, Karbon, Canopy, or Firm360. TaxGPT may work well for firms where advisory is a core service line, with tax research, client-facing planning, and memo drafting as the main day-to-day work rather than production prep.
