FAQ

Switching from CCH

TaxMCP is a strong fit when your workflow centers on finding and verifying primary authority inside Claude or ChatGPT. It provides source-linked federal materials, supported state codes, and Tax Court opinions with self-serve setup and public pricing.

CCH offers both products as tax research platforms. TaxMCP is a separate, source-focused research layer that runs through Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP-compatible client. Confirm CCH product details directly when evaluating current options.

TaxMCP leads with primary authority: the law, regulations, IRS guidance, supported state codes, and Tax Court opinions. Your AI assistant can help explain and synthesize those materials while the source stays linked and visible for review.

Create an account, paste the TaxMCP connection URL into Claude or ChatGPT, and start asking real research questions. The free plan makes it easy to evaluate the workflow for yourself.

Try it before your
next CCH renewal.

Put a real research question into TaxMCP, open the linked authority, and see how much faster a source-first workflow can feel.
