MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Software maker Intuit Inc. said Wednesday that season-to-date sales of its TurboTax federal income tax preparation products are up 10 percent from a year earlier.
The company has sold about 15.2 million units through March 13, compared with 13.8 million units in the prior-year period.
Intuit's results were helped significantly by sales of TurboTax Web units, which are up 20 percent from a year ago.
"We're pleased with how the tax season is progressing and continue to see strong growth online fueled by the increasing popularity of do-it-yourself tax software," Dan Maurer, senior vice president and general manager of Intuit's consumer group, said in a statement.
The company said it will provide a final update on units sold after the tax season ends next month.
Intuit's stock added 12 cents to $34.76 in morning trading.
