Tax season made manageable

Receipts, 1099s, tax forms, expense logs — upload the pile, ask plain-English questions, export answers your accountant can use.

Tax prep is not a thinking task — it's a sorting task. You have a year's worth of receipts, statements, and withholding certs spread across email, Drive, and a shoebox. Before you pay your accountant to triage all of that, do half the work in fifteen minutes.

The problem

Most of your tax-relevant docs are PDFs and photographs. Spreadsheet tooling can't read them. Folder search is text-only and case-sensitive. The data you need is in there — but you can't ask it questions like "what was my total business meals expense in Q3?" without manually adding rows.

How SeekFiles AI helps

  • OCRs receipts and scanned forms so amounts, dates, and merchant names are searchable.
  • Cross-document Q&A — ask "total medical expenses for the year" and it pulls from receipts, EOBs, and pharmacy printouts.
  • Cited answers — every figure has the exact source receipt or line attached. Your accountant can verify in seconds.
  • Multilingual — useful for cross-border remittances or contracts in two languages.

A typical workflow

  1. Make a "Tax 2026" assistant. Upload everything: income tax forms, tax-authority receipts, business invoices, donation receipts, medical bills, brokerage statements.
  2. Ask: "What were my total deductible business expenses?" and review the cited list.
  3. Ask: "Are there any duplicate receipts?" — surprisingly common.
  4. Export your Q&A. Hand it to your accountant. They charge for review, not data entry.

What to upload

  • Income: payslips, withholding certificates, 1099 equivalents, contractor invoices
  • Expenses: business receipts, official receipts, utility bills (home-office portion), medical
  • Donations and charitable receipts
  • Investment statements (brokerage, mutual fund, crypto)

You don't have to be a tax expert to do prep well. SeekFiles AI just makes that prep ten times faster.
