SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Taxpayers routinely overpay because they miss deductions like QBI, self-employed health insurance, or HSA contributions, and spotting these gaps requires deep knowledge of IRS forms and annually changing limits. ## 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. - Quantified Savings Estimates: Translates each finding into dollar amounts based on the filer's tax bracket. - Use Case: A freelancer shares last year's Schedule C return; the review flags a missing Form 8995, estimating a $4,200 QBI deduction worth roughly $925 in refund at the 22% bracket, amendable up to three years back. ## Quick Start Review my attached tax return and list any missed deductions with estimated 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 IRA contributions.

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

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

Can this skill file or amend my tax return?▼

No, it cannot file or amend returns. It reviews returns and suggests findings, but actual filing requires tax software or a CPA, and amendments must be submitted through official IRS channels.

When should I not rely on automated tax review?▼

Avoid relying on it for state-specific tax law, international tax situations, or business entity structuring, since state conformity to federal rules varies widely. Consult a local CPA or enrolled agent for those cases.

Are the tax contribution limits in the review always current?▼

No, IRS limits change annually, so all figures must be verified with a web search for the current tax year before relying on them. The skill explicitly instructs verifying numbers rather than trusting memorized values.
