	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Description of Business
	Intuit Inc. provides business and financial management solutions for small businesses, consumers, and accounting professionals. With flagship products and services that include QuickBooks, TurboTax and Quicken, we help customers solve important business and financial management problems such as running a small business, paying bills, filing income tax returns, and managing personal finances. ProSeries and Lacerte are Intuit’s tax preparation offerings for professional accountants. Intuit was incorporated in 1984 and is headquartered in Mountain View, California.
	Basis of Presentation
	These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Intuit and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation. We have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which we considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented. We have reclassified certain amounts previously reported in our financial statements to conform to the current presentation, including amounts related to discontinued operations and reportable segments. See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations,” and Note 10, “Segment Information,” for more information.
	As discussed in Note 4, we sold our Intuit Websites business in September 2012. In August 2013 we sold our Intuit Financial Services (IFS) business and our Intuit Health business. We have reclassified our statements of operations for all periods presented to reflect these three businesses as discontinued operations. We have also segregated the net assets of IFS from continuing operations on our balance sheet at July 31, 2013. The net assets of Intuit Websites and Intuit Health were not significant, so we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our balance sheet at July 31, 2013. Because the cash flows of our Intuit Websites, IFS, and Intuit Health discontinued operations were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated the cash flows of those businesses from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.
	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. Results for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 do not necessarily indicate the results we expect for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2014 or any other future period.
	Seasonality
	Our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax, and Professional Tax offerings are highly seasonal. Revenue from our QuickBooks software products tends to be highest during our second and third fiscal quarters. Sales of income tax preparation products and services are heavily concentrated in the period from November through April. These seasonal patterns mean that our total net revenue is usually highest during our second quarter ending January 31 and third quarter ending April 30. We typically report losses in our first quarter ending October 31 and fourth quarter ending July 31. During these quarters, revenue from our tax businesses is minimal while core operating expenses such as research and development continue at relatively consistent levels.
	Significant Accounting Policies
	We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies during the first nine months of fiscal 2014.
	Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share
	We compute basic net income or loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income per share using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and upon the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) under the treasury stock method.
	We include stock options with combined exercise prices, unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are less than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are less than the average market price for our common stock, in the calculation of diluted net income per share. We exclude stock options with combined exercise prices, unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are greater than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are greater than the average market price for our common stock, from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that must be paid to exercise stock options, the amount of compensation expense for future service that we have not yet recognized for stock options and RSUs, and the amount of tax benefits that will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the awards become deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
	In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are the same since the effect of potential common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.
	The following table presents the composition of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods indicated.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08,
	“Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This update raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures for discontinued operations and disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, which means that it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2015. We are in the process of evaluating this update and therefore have not yet determined the impact that adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In addition, we consider and use all valuation methods that are appropriate in estimating the fair value of an asset or liability.
	The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities. In general, the authoritative guidance requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of its fair value. The three levels of input defined by the authoritative guidance are as follows:
	•	Level 1 uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 3 uses one or more significant inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the determination of fair value. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated, classified in accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above.

	We value our Level 1 assets, consisting primarily of money market funds, using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Financial assets whose fair values we measure on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of municipal bonds, corporate notes, and U.S. agency securities. We measure the fair values of these assets with the help of a pricing service that either provides quoted market prices in active markets for identical or similar securities or uses observable inputs for their pricing without applying significant adjustments. Our fair value processes include controls that are designed to ensure that we record appropriate fair values for our Level 2 investments. These controls include comparison to pricing provided by a secondary pricing service or investment manager, validation of pricing sources and models, review of key model inputs, analysis of period-over-period price fluctuations, and independent recalculation of prices where appropriate.
	Financial liabilities whose fair values we measure using Level 2 inputs consist of debt. See Note 6, “Long-Term Obligations,” for more information. We measure the fair value of our senior notes based on their trading prices and the interest rates we could obtain for other borrowings with similar terms.
	Financial assets whose fair values we measure using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs consist of municipal auction rate securities that are no longer liquid. We estimate the fair values of these auction rate securities using a discounted cash flow model. During the first nine months of fiscal 2014 we redeemed $12 million of these securities at par, leaving a remaining balance of $21 million at April 30, 2014. We continued to classify them as long-term investments based on the maturities of the underlying securities at that date. We do not intend to sell our municipal auction rate securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery at par, which may be at maturity.
	There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended April 30, 2014.

	Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments and Funds Held for Customers
	We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of AAA-rated money market funds in all periods presented. Investments at April 30, 2014 consist of available-for-sale investment-grade debt securities that we carry at fair value and an available-for-sale corporate equity investment that we carry at fair value. Funds held for customers consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment grade available-for-sale debt securities in all periods presented. Long-term investments at April 30, 2014 consist primarily of municipal auction rate securities. See Note 2, “Fair Value Measurements,” for more information. Except for direct obligations of the United States government, securities issued by agencies of the United States government, and money market funds, we diversify our investments in debt securities by limiting our holdings with any individual issuer.

We include realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities in interest and other income, net in our statements of operations. Gross realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 and April 30, 2013 were not significant.
	We accumulate unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt and equity securities, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheets. Gross unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 were not significant. The cumulative gross unrealized gain on our available-for-sale corporate equity security was approximately $22 million at April 30, 2014.
	We periodically review our investment portfolios to determine if any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. We believe that the investments we held at April 30, 2014 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities at April 30, 2014 were not significant and were due to changes in interest rates, including market credit spreads, and not due to increased credit risks associated with specific securities. We do not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery at par, which may be at maturity.

Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued Operations
	Intuit Financial Services
	On August 1, 2013 we completed the sale of our Intuit Financial Services (IFS) business for approximately $1.025 billion in cash. We recorded a gain on the disposal of IFS of approximately $36 million, net of income taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decision to sell the IFS business was a result of management's desire to focus resources on our offerings for small businesses, consumers, and accounting professionals. The IFS business comprised substantially all of our former Financial Services reporting segment.
	We classified our IFS business as discontinued operations and have therefore segregated its operating results from continuing operations in our statements of operations for all periods presented. Revenue for IFS during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013 was $83 million and $243 million. Income before income taxes for IFS during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013 was $16 million and $42 million. We have also segregated the net assets of IFS from continuing operations on our balance sheet at July 31, 2013. Because operating cash flows from the IFS business were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows.
	Intuit Health
	In July 2013 management having the authority to do so formally approved a plan to sell our Intuit Health business and on August 19, 2013 we completed the sale for cash consideration that was not significant. We recorded a $4 million pre-tax loss on the disposal of Intuit Health that was more than offset by a related income tax benefit of approximately $14 million, resulting in a net gain on disposal of approximately $10 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decision to sell the Intuit Health business was a result of management's desire to focus resources on its offerings for small businesses, consumers, and accounting professionals. Intuit Health was part of our former Other Businesses reporting segment.
	We classified our Intuit Health business as discontinued operations and have therefore segregated its operating results in our statements of operations for all periods presented. We have not segregated the net assets of Intuit Health from continuing operations on our balance sheets at July 31, 2013 because net assets held for sale consisted primarily of operating assets and liabilities that were not material. Because operating cash flows from the Intuit Health business were also not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows.
	Intuit Websites
	On September 17, 2012 we sold our Intuit Websites business, which was a component of our former Financial Management Solutions reporting segment, for approximately $60 million in cash and recorded a gain on disposal of approximately $32 million, net of income taxes.

	Current Liabilities
	Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
	On February 17, 2012 we entered into an agreement with certain institutional lenders for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility that will expire on February 17, 2017. Advances under the credit facility will accrue interest at rates that are equal to, at our election, either JP Morgan's alternate base rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.0% to 0.5% or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin that ranges from 0.9% to 1.5%. Actual margins under either election will be based on our senior debt credit ratings. The agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants that require us to maintain a ratio of total debt to annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 as of any date and a ratio of annual EBITDA to interest payable of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. We remained in compliance with these covenants at all times during the quarter ended April 30, 2014. We may use amounts borrowed under this credit facility for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions. To date we have not borrowed under this credit facility.

	On March 12, 2007 we issued $500 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2017 (the Notes). We carried the Notes at face value less the unamortized discount in long-term debt on our balance sheets at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013. The Notes are redeemable by Intuit at any time, subject to a make-whole premium, and include covenants that limit our ability to grant liens on our facilities and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, subject to significant allowances. We paid $29 million in cash for interest on the Notes during the nine months ended April 30, 2014 and $29 million in cash for interest on the Notes during the nine months ended April 30, 2013.

	Income Taxes
	Effective Tax Rate
	We compute our provision for or benefit from income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income or loss from recurring operations and adding the effects of any discrete income tax items specific to the period.
	Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014 were approximately 34% and those tax rates did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%. The benefits we received from the domestic production activities deduction and the federal research and experimentation credit were substantially offset by state income taxes in both periods.
	In January 2013 the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law. The Act included a reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit through December 31, 2013 that was retroactive to January 1, 2012. We recorded a discrete tax benefit for the retroactive effect during the nine months ended April 30, 2013. As of April 30, 2014, the federal research and experimentation credit had not been reinstated.
	Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2013 was approximately 33% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2013 was approximately 32%. Excluding discrete tax items that included the retroactive effect of the reinstatement of the research and experimentation credit as described above, our effective tax rate for that period was approximately 34% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%. The benefits we received from the domestic production activities deduction and the federal research and experimentation credit were substantially offset by state income taxes in both periods.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Other Considerations
	The total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits at July 31, 2013 was $39 million. Net of related deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits were $27 million at that date. If we were to recognize these net benefits, our income tax expense would reflect a favorable net impact of $27 million. There were no material changes to these amounts during the nine months ended April 30, 2014. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that there will be a significant increase or decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

Equity [Abstract]	'
Stockholders' Equity	'
	Stockholders’ Equity
	Stock Repurchase Programs and Treasury Shares
	Intuit’s Board of Directors has authorized a series of common stock repurchase programs. Shares of common stock repurchased under these programs become treasury shares. We repurchased 20.5 million shares for $1.4 billion under these programs during the nine months ended April 30, 2014 and 4.8 million shares for $292 million under these programs during the nine months ended April 30, 2013. At April 30, 2014, we had authorization from our Board of Directors to expend up to an additional $2.0 billion for stock repurchases through August 19, 2017. Future stock repurchases under the current program are at the discretion of management, and authorization of future stock repurchase programs is subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.
	Our treasury shares are repurchased at the market price on the trade date; accordingly, all amounts paid to reacquire these shares have been recorded as treasury stock on our balance sheets. Repurchased shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares until they are reissued or retired. When we reissue treasury stock, if the proceeds from the sale are more than the average price we paid to acquire the shares we record an increase in additional paid-in capital. Conversely, if the proceeds from the sale are less than the average price we paid to acquire the shares, we record a decrease in additional paid-in capital to the extent of increases previously recorded for similar transactions and a decrease in retained earnings for any remaining amount.
	In the past we have satisfied option exercises and restricted stock unit vesting under our employee equity incentive plans by reissuing treasury shares, and we may do so again in the future. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014 we began issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy option exercises and RSU vesting under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. We have not yet determined the ultimate disposition of the shares that we have repurchased in the past, and consequently we continue to hold them as treasury shares.
	Dividends on Common Stock
	During the nine months ended April 30, 2014 we declared and paid quarterly cash dividends that totaled $0.57 per share of outstanding common stock or $165 million. In May 2014 our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share of outstanding common stock payable on July 18, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 10, 2014. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record dates and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.

	The table above excludes share-based compensation expense for our discontinued operations, which totaled approximately $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013. Because we have not reclassified our statements of cash flows to segregate discontinued operations, the $9 million in share-based compensation for discontinued operations is included in share-based compensation expense on our statement of cash flows for the nine months ended April 30, 2013.
	Share-Based Awards Available for Grant

RSUs forfeited and returned to the pool of shares available for grant increase the pool by 2.3 shares for each share forfeited.
	-2	Stock options and restricted stock units canceled, expired or forfeited under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, are returned to the pool of shares available for grant. Stock options and restricted stock units canceled, expired or forfeited under older expired plans are not returned to the pool of shares available for grant.

Litigation	'
	Litigation
	On January 13, 2012, two putative class actions were filed against Intuit Inc. in connection with our TurboTax income tax preparation software: Smith v. Intuit Inc. (U.S. District Court, Northern District of California) and Quildon v. Intuit Inc. (California Superior Court, Santa Clara County). The plaintiffs in both cases had asserted that the fees charged for the refund processing service offered within TurboTax are “refund anticipation loans” and the disclosures about those fees do not comply with California and federal laws. The Smith case was brought in federal court on behalf of a proposed nationwide class and subclasses; the Quildon case was brought in state court on behalf of a proposed California class and subclasses. In January 2013, for the purposes of settlement and without any admission of wrongdoing or liability, Intuit reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims raised in the Smith and Quildon matters for an amount that is not material to our consolidated financial statements. We accrued that amount in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. As of March 21, 2014, pursuant to the settlement agreement, both the Smith and Quildon matters had been resolved.
	Intuit is subject to certain routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business, including assertions that we may be infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others. We currently believe that, in addition to any amounts accrued, the amount of potential losses, if any, for any pending claims of any type (either alone or combined) will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and, regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on Intuit because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors. Our failure to obtain necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims could adversely affect our business.

Segment Information	'
	Segment Information
	See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations,” for information about our Intuit Financial Services and Intuit Health businesses, which we classified as discontinued operations during fiscal 2013. Effective August 1, 2013, we reorganized our continuing businesses to align with our strategic focus on small businesses, consumers, and professional accountants. We also aligned our international businesses, all of which were in our former Other Businesses segment, into their respective lines of business and we are now managing those international businesses within their respective reportable segments. As a result of this reorganization, we have defined three reportable segments based on factors such as how we manage our operations and how our chief operating decision maker views results. We define the chief operating decision maker (CODM) as our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Our CODM organizes and manages our business primarily on the basis of product and service offerings. The CODM reviews revenue by reportable segment and by product line within each reportable segment, but reviews operating income or loss only at the reportable segment level.
	Small Business. Our Small Business segment includes three main product lines – Small Business Financial Solutions, Small Business Management Solutions, and Accountant and Advisor – targeting the small business market.
	•	Our Small Business Financial Solutions product line includes QuickBooks financial and business management software and services; QuickBooks technical support; and financial supplies. This product line also includes several payment processing services for small businesses, including merchant services such as credit and debit card processing; Web-based transaction processing services for online merchants; GoPayment mobile payment processing services; QuickBooks Point of Sale solutions; and secure online payments for small businesses and their customers through the Intuit Payment Network.
	•	Our Small Business Management Solutions product line includes small business payroll products and services, including desktop payroll offerings such as QuickBooks Basic Payroll and QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll; online payroll offerings such as Quickbooks Online Payroll and Intuit Online Payroll; and full service payroll offerings such as QuickBooks Assisted Payroll and Intuit Full Service Payroll. This product line also includes Demandforce, which provides online marketing and customer communication solutions, and QuickBase.
	•	Our Accountant and Advisor product line includes QuickBooks Accountant, QuickBooks Accountant Plus, and QuickBooks Online Accountant as well as the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program and Cloud ProAdvisor Program, all of which are intended for the accounting professionals who serve small businesses.
	Consumer. Our Consumer segment includes two product lines – Consumer Tax and Consumer Ecosystem – targeting consumers.
	•	Consumer Tax includes TurboTax income tax preparation products and services and electronic tax filing services.
	•	Consumer Ecosystem includes our personal finance offerings, Quicken and Mint.
	Professional Tax. Our Professional Tax segment targets professional accountants and includes Lacerte, ProSeries, and Intuit Tax Online professional tax preparation products and services, electronic tax filing services, bank product transmission services, and training services.
	All of our business segments operate primarily in the United States and sell primarily to customers in the United States. International total net revenue was approximately 5% of consolidated total net revenue for all periods presented.
	We include expenses such as corporate selling and marketing, product development, and general and administrative expenses and share-based compensation expenses that are not allocated to specific segments in unallocated corporate items. Unallocated corporate items also include amortization of acquired technology, amortization of other acquired intangible assets, and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges.
	The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. Except for goodwill and purchased intangible assets, we do not generally track assets by reportable segment and, consequently, we do not disclose total assets by reportable segment.
	The following table shows our financial results by reportable segment for the periods indicated. Results for all periods presented have been adjusted to exclude results for our Intuit Websites, Intuit Financial Services, and Intuit Health businesses, which we have classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations,” for more information. Segment results for fiscal 2013 have also been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2014 segment presentation, as described earlier in this footnote.

Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Intuit and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation. We have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which we considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented. We have reclassified certain amounts previously reported in our financial statements to conform to the current presentation, including amounts related to discontinued operations and reportable segments. See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations,” and Note 10, “Segment Information,” for more information.
	As discussed in Note 4, we sold our Intuit Websites business in September 2012. In August 2013 we sold our Intuit Financial Services (IFS) business and our Intuit Health business. We have reclassified our statements of operations for all periods presented to reflect these three businesses as discontinued operations. We have also segregated the net assets of IFS from continuing operations on our balance sheet at July 31, 2013. The net assets of Intuit Websites and Intuit Health were not significant, so we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our balance sheet at July 31, 2013. Because the cash flows of our Intuit Websites, IFS, and Intuit Health discontinued operations were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated the cash flows of those businesses from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.
	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. Results for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 do not necessarily indicate the results we expect for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2014 or any other future period.
Seasonality	'
	Seasonality
	Our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax, and Professional Tax offerings are highly seasonal. Revenue from our QuickBooks software products tends to be highest during our second and third fiscal quarters. Sales of income tax preparation products and services are heavily concentrated in the period from November through April. These seasonal patterns mean that our total net revenue is usually highest during our second quarter ending January 31 and third quarter ending April 30. We typically report losses in our first quarter ending October 31 and fourth quarter ending July 31. During these quarters, revenue from our tax businesses is minimal while core operating expenses such as research and development continue at relatively consistent levels.
Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share	'
	Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share
	We compute basic net income or loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income per share using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and upon the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) under the treasury stock method.
	We include stock options with combined exercise prices, unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are less than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are less than the average market price for our common stock, in the calculation of diluted net income per share. We exclude stock options with combined exercise prices, unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are greater than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are greater than the average market price for our common stock, from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that must be paid to exercise stock options, the amount of compensation expense for future service that we have not yet recognized for stock options and RSUs, and the amount of tax benefits that will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the awards become deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
	In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are the same since the effect of potential common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08,
	“Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This update raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures for discontinued operations and disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, which means that it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2015. We are in the process of evaluating this update and therefore have not yet determined the impact that adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
