Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

tax-filing scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 238 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tax Filing Skill

Automates the entire tax preparation workflow for a small business (C-Corp, S-Corp, or LLC) and the owner's personal return. Built from real-world experience preparing a Delaware C-Corporation Form 1120 and MFJ Form 1040 with three children.

How This Skill Works

Tax preparation is a 7-phase pipeline. Each phase builds on the previous one. Run phases in order, but use parallel sub-agents within each phase to maximize speed.


Phase 1: Data Gathering

Launch these 5 research agents in parallel:

Agent 1: Accounting System Export

  • If Xero: use the Xero API (OAuth2 custom connection) to export all data
    • Settings: organization, chart of accounts, tax rates, contacts
    • Per-year: bank transactions, journals, invoices, payments, reports (P&L, balance sheet, trial balance, bank summary)
    • Note: bank STATEMENT LINES (unreconciled items in Xero UI) are NOT accessible via API -- only matched transactions
  • If no accounting system: skip to bank statement analysis

Agent 2: Obsidian Vault Search

  • Auto-discover vault: check ~/Projects/Obsidian/*/ or common locations
  • Search for: tax, filing, 1099, W-2, P&L, accountant name, company name, EIN, EFTPS
  • Read all synthesis docs in wiki/synthesis/tax-*
  • Extract: credentials (EFTPS, accountant portal), prior research, income flow maps, bank analyses
  • Check for prior year preparation documents

Agent 3: Gmail Search

  • Search for accountant correspondence (extension status, appointment details, portal links)
  • Search for tax forms: W-2 notifications (ADP, Gusto), 1099 (Ascen, KForce, Robinhood, BofA), 1095-C
  • Search for: Xero invoices, Hetzner/Cloudflare/hosting invoices, bank connection notifications
  • Search for Delaware franchise tax correspondence
  • Extract: meeting dates, deadlines, payment confirmations, document statuses

Agent 4: Google Drive / Filesystem Search

  • Auto-discover Google Drive mount: ~/Library/CloudStorage/GoogleDrive-*/My Drive/
  • Search for organized tax folder (e.g., Finance-&-Legal/Tax/{year}-Tax-Filing/)
  • Inventory: W-2 PDFs, 1099 PDFs, bank statements, prior returns, invoices, contracts
  • Also check ~/Downloads/ for recently downloaded tax files
  • Read the prior year's filed corporate return (Form 1120) to understand how the accountant structured categories

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
