Transforming Tax Research: Seamless AI Guidance and Integrated Insights—Now Smarter Than Ever

We are excited to announce several key enhancements to AI features on CCH AnswerConnect, as well as comprehensive analysis of federal tax reform legislation — the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). These improvements empower professionals with greater convenience and research depth.

Elevate Your Workflow with AI Search 

Instantly launch the CCH AnswerConnect AI Assistant from any screen for seamless, on-demand guidance.

The search experience includes a new indicator signaling that an AI response is being generated.

AI Assistant now features an expanded, more readable interaction pane.

Cut Research Time with AI-Powered Search Suggestions

Get immediate, context-specific guidance right when you need it. Contextual prompt suggestions following an AI response have been introduced, surfacing related issues and enabling you to efficiently refine your research.

Dive into Complex Issues

CCH AnswerConnect AI has been upgraded to utilize GPT-4.1, ensuring more accurate and reliable AI interactions. Quality of responses is greatly improved because of higher reasoning skills and ability to handle complex, multi-step instructions more reliably.

CCH Browser Search AI has also been upgraded, ensuring consistent improvements across all services we offer. 

Navigate Complexity with Confidence

The scope of AI-Generated Responses has been expanded, providing you with more comprehensive and detailed responses.

  • Deepen your expertise. AI-powered research that taps into comprehensive analysis and treatises returns results that are not only thoroughly vetted from tax and legal perspectives but also richly contextualized—explaining "why" and "how" a rule applies, not simply "what" the rule is. Our AI Assistant now draws from:
    1. Our comprehensive OBBBA analysis, and
    2. Authoritative tax treatises (that are part of your subscription)
  • Break down research silos. AI Assistant supports responses across practice areas, so you can seamlessly pivot between topics within a single conversation, supporting more holistic research and nuanced client advice. For example, if you are researching a scenario on a Federal Tax credit, you can easily pivot to questions about State Tax issues during the same conversation/thread.

These enhancements ensure you are always equipped with the latest content and tools to deliver superior results—faster research, broader expertise, and an even higher standard of client service.
