AI agent for tax analysts
Tax Audit Document Request Agent
Complete, accurate audit responses that tie to filed returns, delivered on time
What it does
During a tax audit, the authority sends information document requests with firm deadlines, and a loose answer can widen the audit. This agent splits each request into items and deadlines, finds the matching records in the ledger, filed returns and workpapers, and drafts a response for each item. It checks that every amount ties to the filed return. If something does not tie, it lists the difference for the analyst to explain in writing, then re-checks. It removes out-of-scope items so the package answers only what was asked. Privileged items are held for legal review. The tax manager approves the package before anything is sent. Edge case: if a requested record is privileged legal advice, the agent never includes it and routes it to legal.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
