This Skill reviews a tax return, flags commonly missed deductions by filer type, and quantifies potential savings in dollars. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Return Review Checklist: Systematically checks filing status, standard vs. itemized deductions, Form 8995 (QBI), Schedule 1 adjustments, and carryforwards. - Missed Deduction Detection: Covers W-2 employees, self-employed filers, investors, and homeowners with current-year contribution limits and phase-outs. - Tax Strategy Guidance: Prioritizes tax-advantaged accounts (HSA, 401(k), Roth IRA, 529) and flags aggressive positions that need CPA review. - Use Case: A self-employed user shares last year's Schedule C return; the Skill spots a missing Form 8995 and estimates a $4,200 QBI deduction worth roughly $925 in refund at the 22% bracket, amendable up to 3 years back. ## Quick Start Review my attached tax return and list any missed deductions with estimated dollar savings for each finding.

Frequently Asked Questions about tax-reviewer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find missed deductions on my tax return?▼

Check for Form 8995 if you have Schedule C, E, or K-1 income, since the 20% QBI deduction is the most commonly missed item. Also verify Schedule 1 adjustments like half of self-employment tax, SE health insurance, HSA, and student loan interest.

What deductions can self-employed filers claim on Schedule C?▼

Self-employed filers can deduct QBI (20% of qualified business income), half of SE tax, 100% of health insurance premiums, Solo 401(k) or SEP-IRA contributions, home office expenses, and business portions of phone, internet, and software.

Can this skill file or amend my tax return?▼

No, it only reviews returns and identifies potential savings as general tax information. Filing or amending requires actual tax software or a qualified CPA, especially for self-employment, rentals, K-1s, or state issues.

Does the tax review cover state-specific tax rules?▼

No, state-specific tax law questions are out of scope because state conformity to federal law varies widely. The review focuses on federal deductions and recommends consulting a local CPA for state matters.

Why do the contribution limits in the review need verification?▼

IRS contribution limits, standard deductions, and phase-out thresholds change annually through inflation adjustments. The skill instructs verifying figures with a web search for current-year IRS limits rather than trusting memorized numbers.
