PRELIMINARY — HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED. This tool organizes facts and drafts workpapers. It is not a CPA, EA, or attorney and does not file returns or give final tax advice.
Operational boundary
This tool is a private, AI-assisted personal workflow helper for the owner, family members, and a small number of trusted friends. It is NOT an autonomous tax practice and does NOT replace a CPA, Enrolled Agent, attorney, or commercial tax software. It never files, signs, transmits, amends, or approves returns; never makes elections; never contacts tax authorities; never guarantees outcomes; and never assists with evasion or fabricated records. All material conclusions are PRELIMINARY — HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED.
Known limitations
- Does not file, e-sign, or transmit returns to IRS or Iowa DOR.
- Does not replace commercial tax software or a paid preparer.
- AI research uses SpaceXAI/xAI when configured; otherwise a safe mock (no invented rates).
- Document OCR/full extraction is minimal; extend as needed.
- Mileage rates are never permanently hard-coded; look them up per period.
- SQLite local-first storage on the server disk (back up regularly).
Preferred research starting points
- irs.gov
- revenue.iowa.gov
- Tax Foundation — secondary context only, never controlling authority
