Who it's for

I have a tax question

Understand the likely rules, see the sources and organise the facts an accountant may need.

I work in accounting

Load maintained Tax Guides, research unfamiliar matters and prepare draft working papers for your review.

I am building an agent

Use the server's discovery, retrieval and tools programmatically.

Without OA

Prep the 2025 return for my client: freelance dev in California, $142k Stripe revenue, single-member LLC, home office.

Your AI guesses Schedule C, SE tax, QBI, and state forms from training data. No current source retrieval, no citations, thresholds drift year to year.

With OpenAccountants

Prep the 2025 return for my client: freelance dev in California, $142k Stripe revenue, single-member LLC, home office.

Loads the relevant California Tax Guides, shows its working with figures cited to source, flags edge cases, and delivers a draft review-ready working paper with statute citations — for a professional to review.

Watch it run

One prompt. Open Tax Guides. Review-ready draft out.

Describe the facts once. Your AI loads the relevant Tax Guides, shows its working with every figure cited to its source, and produces a draft working paper. Any output remains a draft unless a qualified professional separately reviews your specific facts.

Someone's AI session

  • Taxpayer
    I rent out an apartment in Malta and made about €14,000 last year. How much tax do I owe, and how do I declare it?
  • AI agent
    Checking the Malta rental income Tax Guide via OpenAccountants — accountant-reviewed. Two routes: a 15% final tax on gross rent, or normal progressive rates after allowable expenses. On €14,000 gross, the flat route is roughly €2,100, declared on Form TA24 by 30 April.
  • Taxpayer
    Which one is better for me?
  • AI agent
    That depends on details I shouldn't assume — your other income, your real expenses. An accounting professional reviewed this Malta Guide. Want me to package your working and let you request a professional review before you file?

    Request review

    Their working paper and assumptions arrive with the request. You choose whether to take it — no fee to receive it.

Illustrative concept using real accountant-reviewed Malta Guides — not a customer record, not tax advice.

Illustrative example only — not a customer record, not tax advice, not filing-ready. Every material figure traces back to the relevant Guide and primary source it came from (e.g. Income Tax Act, Art. 31D).

You review and sign

You check the facts, the law, and the final forms before anything is filed. The professional signs off, never the AI.

Your accepted full-Guide review carries a public record with your name, credentials, review date and applicable period. It does not by itself create a client engagement or mean you reviewed a specific taxpayer's return.

Where it saves you time

Three moments in a busy practice

This is not a chatbot upgrade. It is source-cited Tax Guides, cited output — each showing its review status — wired into the AI you already use for client work.

Client intake

Describe messy facts once. Your AI agent loads the right jurisdiction Guides instead of you pasting statute excerpts into every session.

Unfamiliar jurisdictions

Cross-border or new-country questions without opening five government sites. Compare rules and plan positions in one session.

Review before you act

Every figure should trace to the Guide and source it used, with its review status. You review the draft working paper and determine what professional steps are required.

What the connector unlocks · Developer reference

Four tools your AI agent can call

Install once. Your AI agent pulls open, source-cited Tax Guides, runs workflows, and returns cited output with its review status — instead of improvising from training data.

Source-cited Tax Guides

Search and load published Tax Guides for any jurisdiction — income tax, VAT, payroll, corporate. Each Guide cites its source and shows whether it's a source-cited draft or accountant-reviewed.

Guided workflows

Multi-step workflows for sole traders, freelancers, and corporate returns. The connector routes your prompt to the right sequence automatically.

Why add it if the Guides are open?

Inspect everything. Add it when it helps.

The open files let you read, download and inspect individual Tax Guides. Added to your AI, OpenAccountants searches all the Tax Guides, selects the relevant material and retrieves the current published version during the conversation.
