Do you have confidence in Analysis?

[Strongsilence-CPA]

I finished a 1040 for a real estate agent. His Sch. C shows a profit.  The LC analysis says the income and all the deductions are much higher than average "for a business of this type".  The numbers are reasonable and accurate and typical expenses for a realtor.  I don't have much confidence in the analysis report.

It's a feature provided by Intuit?  Why would you trust it?

I think the "analysis" is fashioned after something in Turbo Tax to give consumers a feel for how they compare to the "average"

I have glanced at it, but give it no real credence. All of my clients are special and none of them are average.

Here is a sample Analysis - on the right are links to various IRS pubs and stats.

I think most come from https://www.irs.gov/statistics
