Lance Acord of Park Pictures directed this 90-second anthem spot which is a celebration of hard working Americans and the incredible things they accomplish every day. The ad highlights that taxes are simply the story of your year. A story no one knows better than you do. And with TurboTax, people don’t need any tax knowledge or expertise to do their own taxes and get them done right. That’s because TurboTax asks simple questions about life like “did you have a baby?” or “did you buy a house?” and guides you through the return process step-by-step.
