Yet, ongoing competition from digital solutions, coupled with potential changes in tax legislation under the new administration, could shape the industry's trajectory. Overall, revenue for tax preparation service businesses in the US is forecast to creep upward at a CAGR of 1.1% in the next five years, reaching $15.3 billion in 2030.
