AI Tax Research

About

BlueJ is an AI-powered legal research platform that helps tax professionals predict how courts might rule on complex tax scenarios. It analyzes thousands of judicial decisions to surface precedent, patterns, and probabilities for specific fact patterns. Firms use BlueJ to quickly assess risk, support positions during planning or audits, and improve confidence when interpreting ambiguous sections of tax law. Its models are built from real case law, providing transparent, explainable insights rather than black-box answers.

AI SummaryPositive

Tax professionals generally express a positive sentiment towards BlueJ, highlighting its accuracy and authoritative sourcing compared to competitors like TaxGPT. Users appreciate its comprehensive coverage of federal and state resources, as well as the significant discounts available for NATP members. While some acknowledge minor issues, many find BlueJ to be a valuable tool for tax research, often considering it a worthy investment over traditional research platforms.

I’ve been using ChatGPT Pro, but recently it’s been slow, sometimes taking several minutes to respond. I’m interested in hearing from others about what AI tools you actually use in your work. Have you tried Perplexity Pro, or any tax-focused AI models like TaxGPT, BlueJ? How do they compare in speed, accuracy, and usefulness? Are there other AI tools tax professionals in this community recommend? Looking forward to your honest feedback. Thanks!

Has anyone *used* both BlueJ and TaxGPT to be able to compare the two? I used Blue J this past year (as well as the paid version of ChatGPT), and I'm aware of the potential for wrong answers etc etc - I've still been impressed enough by Blue J to continue using an AI as a tool and mainline ChatGPT doesn't quite get there. BJ has a compelling discount through NATP, but before I renew I want to look at the competition.

Does anyone have a good experience with the above? Would you use it on top of your regular subscription research tool like TR RIA, CCH, BNA, or would you say BlueJ is enough? The least expensive research tool I found is a little under 1.5k a year. Comparable with BlueJ. But I bet BlueJ offers more than just Federal research. Signed up for a sales rep meeting, but it is in another 3 weeks. I appreciate your input.

I was a long-time Thomson Reuters Checkpoint user until last year. I switched to CCH AnswerConnect in early 2024. At first, I liked it but then I found the answers hard to find and the search would not do a great job. I have their all-states module too and pay $7150/year. I started using BlueJ AI last month and find it's fantastic. I am considering adding Parker Tax to this mix and could save $6,000/year if I dump CCH. Is Parker worth it? I used it about 10 years ago and didn't care for it the

Hey TaxPros, I am a CPA building a tax research platform for smaller CPA firm focusing on giving users answers to multi jurisdictional transactions so they can advise clients better. For all of you that have used the new tax research tools, TaxGPT, BlueJ, CaseText would like to understand what you liked and wanted to see added on as a feature. Would love to talk to you since you are the experts and see what I should focus on building and what my product lacks. If you are open let me know and I’l

I did a trial of both. I found TaxGPT to be wrong more often than bluej. Still issues with BlueJ but it’s better than TaxGPT and provides links to accurate sources

Hey, I’m working on a list of AI accounting/tax products to pin over at r/AccountingTechnology to track what's being built/used in the space, and was hoping for some help! I have a rough draft here of some products in the accounting/tax space. I’m more focused on things that are built specifically for the industry (which is why chatgpt, etc isn’t on there), but if there’s something you stand by, non-accounting specific, I could add a more generic list of tools to it too. I plan on updating it a

TaxBert is great for simple questions or clarifications of rules. However it's just a very enhanced search of TaxBook content in the big scheme of things. I haven't used BlueJ, but my understanding is that it will be the better option for more robust research. Whether you need it or not depends upon the type of work you are doing

Got access to the TaxBook for free, was thinking about BlueJ but TaxBert is offered for free with TaxBook. Anyone use it and like it?

Hey y'all! Has anyone changed the structure of their fees due to actual/realized (or perceived) benefits of AI tools they've implemented? I always say I've never charged enough for my services. I genuinely feel like some of the AI tools I work with have helped tremendously and have me reconsidering both my time's cost and overall value proposition. I would love to hear how it went. Did you only raise rates on new clients, or include current? Moving from hourly-based to project/form-based? A
