accessibility-review

tax-season-organizer
✓★ 22,378by anthropics
Prepares tax-season materials for the owner's accountant, not tax advice. US federal tax; a non-US business gets its closed-books packet instead. Two modes: (1) quarterly estimated tax from YTD net income in the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books); (2) year-end 1099 prep, scanning the ledger, PayPal, and Stripe for contractors paid over USD 600 into a 1099-NEC list with missing W-9 flags. Any tax request routes first to /tax-prep, which confirms the books are closed and reconciled before running this skill. Use this skill directly only when the owner says the period's books are already closed: "books are closed, now do the 1099s," "run the quarterly estimate off the closed numbers," or "just the contractor W-9 list."
