Client-grounded research answer with IRC citations and uploaded document data
GROUNDED RESEARCH

Research grounded in your client’s data.

At the entity level, the agent doesn’t just search tax law. It cross-references your client’s actual documents. Ask “Does my client qualify for the home office deduction?” and the agent checks their Schedule C income, square footage data, and exclusive-use requirements against IRC §280A. Real analysis, not generic answers.

EXAMPLE QUESTIONS

Questions the agent handles every day.

Real questions from CPAs and tax professionals. The agent researches each one against primary authorities and returns a cited answer.

Individual (1040)

“My client’s horse breeding activity lost money 6 of the last 7 years. Is this a hobby under §183 or can we still deduct the losses?”

S corporation (1120-S)

“What’s the reasonable compensation standard for a single-owner S corp with $800K net income in a professional services industry?”

Partnership (1065)

“Can a partner deduct partnership losses in excess of their basis if they have qualified nonrecourse financing under §752?”

C corporation (1120)

“What are the accumulated earnings tax thresholds for a C corp with $3M in retained earnings and no documented business need?”

Trust & Estate (1041)

“Does a complex trust’s capital gain get taxed at the trust level or can it be distributed to beneficiaries under the 65-day rule?”

Multi-entity

RESEARCH AT SCALE

Run research across clients via Grids.

Use the Client Grid or Entity Grid to run research prompts across your entire practice. “Which clients have QBI deduction exposure?” The agent researches each client’s specific situation and returns structured answers, not a generic overview, but a per-client analysis grounded in their data.
