No, you're not on the hook
Reviewing the rules is reference content review — like fact-checking published guidance. You are not advising every user whose AI uses the rules, and you are not signing their tax returns.
You only see the rules for your jurisdiction. Read them at your own pace and flag anything you're unsure about before you sign off.
The alternative to you verifying is nobody verifying — and people are already using these AI outputs to do their taxes. An accountant-verified set of rules with one small imperfection is infinitely better than research-verified rules that nobody qualified has ever looked at.

What it means to lead your country
Lead or join your country
Help define how AI does tax in your country — the rates, thresholds, and treatment it follows. The first accountant for a country becomes its lead; others join as contributors. Every name is credited on the work AI points people to.
Set the standard, together
You're not doing this alone. Accountants in every country are defining the same thing for theirs — a global profession deciding how AI handles tax, instead of letting the model-makers decide for us. With an accountant in every jurisdiction, we go to the companies building these models and say: here are the rules, and here are the people who verified them.
Your name on the standard
Every rule you sign off is public, under your name and credentials. It's your professional reputation in the AI era — visible to everyone who relies on the tax knowledge you've defined for your country, and the first-mover record in a field being built right now.
And yes — it pays
When AI produces a return and tells the user to have it checked, that work routes to you — the verified accountant for their jurisdiction, at rates you set. A real revenue line, but the byproduct of leading, not the reason to.
What the work actually looks like
Taxpayer's AI session
- TaxpayerHelp me do my 2025 taxes. I'm a freelance dev in California, $142k Stripe revenue, single-member LLC, home office.
- AI agentLoading us-ca-freelance-intake and us-sole-prop-bookkeeping skills. I'll compute Schedule C, SE tax, QBI, the self-employed health insurance deduction, and your CA Form 540 + 568 — using the verified 2025 rates and OBBBA rules.
- TaxpayerGo.
- AI agentDone. Federal tax: $24,318. CA tax: $9,041. Effective rate 23.5%. Working paper attached with every figure traced to its source rule and statute. Recommended: hand this to a verified accountant for sign-off before filing.

Every line cites the verified skill section + statute it came from (e.g. IRC §199A, R&TC §17942).
Reviewed by you
You confirm the skill rules the AI followed are right for California in 2025. The taxpayer signs the return.
Your name goes on the rule sign-off. Not on the taxpayer's return.
How it works
1. Sign up and get verified
CPA, EA, ACCA, Chartered Accountant, Steuerberater, Dottore Commercialista — any recognised professional qualification. We check your credentials. Real names, real licenses.
2. Review and verify the rules for your region
Each set covers a specific tax or accounting task — written in plain language with statute references and correct thresholds. Read through your country's rules, and when you're happy they're right, sign off your jurisdiction — your name goes on the whole pack. If something's wrong, flag it.
3. Become your country's authority — and get paid for it
Once your jurisdiction is signed off, you're the verified accountant AI points people to. When someone needs a human to review an AI return, that work comes to you, at rates you set — a new client channel with no marketing, on top of the standing you build as the person who defined the rules.
The bigger picture
AI is already doing tax in your country. The question is who's leading it.
In every country, AI is now computing returns and answering tax questions — with no accountant defining what "correct" looks like. OpenAccountants is the network of licensed accountants changing that: together we set the professional standard for how AI handles tax, instead of leaving it to the people who build the models.
If we have an accountant in every country, in every region, the amount of influence and authority we carry is unprecedented. We can go directly to the companies building these AI models and say: here are the rules. Here are the people who verified them. Here's what you're getting wrong.
This isn't competition. We're collaborators — every accountant who joins strengthens the network for everyone. It's a win for users who get better AI output, a win for accountants who gain a new revenue line and professional visibility, and a win for the industry because we set the standard together.
