# US CPA
|
|
|
|
`us-cpa` is a Python-first federal individual tax workflow skill. The CLI is the canonical engine. Use the skill to classify the request, gather missing inputs, and invoke the CLI.
|
|
|
|
## Modes
|
|
|
|
- `question`
|
|
- one-off federal tax question
|
|
- case folder optional
|
|
- `prepare`
|
|
- new or existing return-preparation case
|
|
- case folder required
|
|
- `review`
|
|
- new or existing return-review case
|
|
- case folder required
|
|
|
|
## Agent Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Determine whether the request is:
|
|
- question-only
|
|
- a new preparation/review case
|
|
- work on an existing case
|
|
2. If the request is `prepare` or `review` and no case folder is supplied:
|
|
- ask whether to create a new case
|
|
- ask where to store it
|
|
3. Use the bundled CLI:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
skills/us-cpa/scripts/us-cpa question --question "What is the standard deduction?" --tax-year 2025
|
|
skills/us-cpa/scripts/us-cpa prepare --tax-year 2025 --case-dir ~/tax-cases/2025-jane-doe
|
|
skills/us-cpa/scripts/us-cpa review --tax-year 2025 --case-dir ~/tax-cases/2025-jane-doe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
- federal individual returns only in v1
|
|
- IRS materials first; escalate to primary law only when needed
|
|
- stop on conflicting facts and ask the user to resolve the issue before continuing
|
|
- official IRS PDFs are the target compiled-form artifacts
|
|
- overlay-rendered forms must be flagged for human review
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
- JSON by default
|
|
- markdown output available with `--format markdown`
|
|
