Home / Workspaces / Tax preparation
Workspace · Highest frequencyEvery January. Every line auditable.
~100M U.S. filing households. ~60M with complexity beyond a W-2. Average prepared-return spend $323 (NSA, 2024). The deadline is non-negotiable — and every line on the return needs a sourceable record behind it. We sit between the chaos of receipts and the cleanliness of a filed return. The CPA looks better for it. The household pays less for it.
The architecture is ready. The workspace ships next.

Twelve months of receipts. One auditable bundle.
Connect Gmail + your primary bank. Lossless parses last 12 months of receipts and statements into typed records — every line carries a source pointer back to the original PDF or email.
1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-DIV, K-1s, mortgage interest statements auto-classified. Charitable contributions extracted from confirmation emails. Health-care deductions matched to charges.
Vehicle business-mileage reconstructed from Tesla telemetry + calendar. Home-office square-footage applied to utilities. Sub-S distributions classified.
Single export to your CPA: PDF binder per schedule (A, C, D, E), CSV per category, every row linked back to its sealed source record. Your CPA opens it once and works the return.
A single export your CPA doesn't ask follow-up questions about.
Schedule A · Schedule C · Schedule D · Schedule E · Schedule SE — each one as a printable PDF with line-by-line citations back to the source record (a Gmail receipt, a Plaid charge, a Tesla trip, a 1099 PDF). The CSV underneath drops straight into TurboTax, Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries, or your CPA's pro tool of choice.
