Question 1 of 7 · no account, no email, nothing stored
Start with the company.
The formation date matters more than people expect. The state's clock runs off it.
Does the company have an EIN?
Does the tax year end on December 31?
How it works
Seven questions in, a record out.
Answer seven questions
Formation date, owners, what the company paid you, what money came in, where it is actually run. No account. No email. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
The engine classifies and cites
A versioned rules engine, not a language model. Every dollar gets a class. Every conclusion carries its rule id, its version, the facts it consumed, and the source it cites with the date that source was retrieved.
You get the record and the list
What is blocking, what needs a licensed professional, and the documents a preparer will ask you for. Download it. Or hand it over exactly as it is.
Why this and not a chatbot
- Every finding shows its rule.
Rule id, version, jurisdiction, the facts used and the sources with retrieval dates are on every result; the engine stamps them, the page cannot omit them.
How it decides - Nothing you type leaves your browser.
The rules run as code on your machine. No account. No analytics, no cookies from us, and the security headers enforce what the privacy page states.
What leaves your browser - It never says your tax is fine.
Two outcomes: not ready, or complete enough for a preparer. Twenty published refusals keep it that way.
The twenty refusals
What we will not do
The list is the product too.
- No computed tax figure, ever.
- No deduction finder and no write-this-off prompts.
- No salary heuristic that picks your reasonable compensation.
- We do not prepare, sign, transmit, or file any return.
- No model sets a tax position; it explains, it never decides.
- We never tell a stranger their year is fine.
What your CPA gets
A record, instead of an interview.
Most engagements start with an email that says send me everything. This one ends with a packet: the findings, the rule and version behind each, the facts they consumed, the sources with their retrieval dates, and every open question named rather than quietly guessed at.
Beside it sits the document request list, built from the money you said moved, with a box ticked only where evidence was actually attached.
- Findings with rule id, version and jurisdiction
- The facts each rule consumed
- Cited sources with retrieval dates
- What is still missing, named
- Where a licensed professional must review
- The document request list
Security and privacy
There is nothing to store, so we store nothing.
The rules run as code in your browser. No account, no email field, no analytics, no cookies from us. The server never receives your answers, so there is no retention period to publish. There is no breach surface to describe either.
The transport is locked down the same way: a strict content security policy, HSTS, frame denial, no-sniff, a referrer policy, and a permissions policy that switches off camera, microphone, location and payment.
- Nothing you type leaves the browser
- No account and no email field
- No analytics and no third-party cookies
- No bank connection, ever
- Six security headers on every response
- GDPR and CCPA, and why they barely reach us
Pricing
The check is free. Permanently.
Not a trial. Not a teaser. You should be able to find out what your year is missing before deciding whether we are worth paying, and the tiers above it carry no numbers yet because publishing a price we have not committed to would be the same mistake as computing a tax figure we cannot stand behind.
From the library
- Legal entity vs tax classification
An LLC is a state-law company. S-corp is a federal tax election. Mixing those two fields is how most 'entity quizzes' go wrong.
- S-corp eligibility and reasonable compensation
Eligibility is a hard gate. Reasonable compensation is a documented professional judgment, and no percentage of profit substitutes for it.
- Annual reports, statements of information, and franchise tax
Most entities have a state maintenance filing: California’s Statement of Information, Delaware’s franchise tax, an annual report almost everywhere else. None of them is the federal income-tax return.
Questions
Before you start.
- Is this tax advice?
- No. It is a completeness check on your record, and we are not a CPA firm, an enrolled agent, or an attorney. We never file.
- Can it tell me I am fine?
- No. Two outcomes only: not ready, or complete enough for a preparer to work from. There is no pass.
- Do you connect to my bank?
- No. Six of the ten comparable services connect to a bank; we do not, because nothing you type is meant to leave your browser in the first place.
- Where do the answers come from?
- A versioned rules engine. Open any finding: rule id, version, the facts it used, and the source it cites with the date we retrieved it.
- What does it cost?
- The check is free, permanently. Paid tiers exist. They are not priced yet.
