AI agent for tax advisors
Tax Planning Scenario Agent
Tested tax-saving moves for each client before year-end
What it does
Year-end tax planning works only if moves are tested before December, but running scenarios for every client takes weeks. In the fall, this agent projects each client's current year tax from year-to-date data and tests common moves: retirement contributions, timing of income and deductions, harvesting losses and charitable gifts. It calculates the effect of each move and of combinations. It then checks each scenario for limits and side effects, such as phase-outs and minimum tax. If a move breaks a limit or triggers minimum tax, it adjusts or drops it and retests. Moves saving under 300 dollars are skipped. It drafts a short planning letter with the top moves. The advisor reviews and decides what to present to the client. Edge case: bunching charitable gifts helps only if itemizing beats the standard deduction, which the agent checks first.
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.
