Black Ore tax automation became available to small and mid-sized accounting practices on Oct. 27, 2026, with the launch of Black Ore for Small Firms. The product prepares tax returns for professional review and integrates with Intuit ProConnect Tax and Intuit Lacerte.

Key Takeaways

  • The offering is priced per return, without enterprise contract commitments or a five-figure minimum.
  • Firm professionals retain final authority over return sign-off.
  • ProConnect Tax users receive migration support from both Intuit and Black Ore.

How Black Ore tax automation works

Black Ore says its Tax Autopilot platform takes in source documents, prepares a return and delivers it ready for review. Each figure is linked to its source, and items needing attention are flagged.

The company says completed returns are delivered directly into ProConnect Tax and Lacerte, allowing firms using those products to keep their existing tax software. Professionals at the firm remain responsible for final sign-off.

Pricing and availability for smaller practices

The product was announced at Intuit Connect in Las Vegas and is available from Oct. 27. Black Ore says firms can be live in less than a day and each is assigned a named specialist.

Pricing is per return, but the announcement did not disclose a per-return rate. Black Ore also said its small and mid-sized firm customer base has grown more than fivefold since the start of 2026.
