Terminal Tax · U.S. income tax filing
Tax filing from your AI chatbot — in development.
Terminal Tax is building the filing step for U.S. federal and state income tax returns prepared with your own AI assistant. The intended workflow carries the prepared return from a supported chatbot into one filing session where you review, enter your identity details, and sign. No live filing is available.
Development status
Terminal Tax is not available for live filing.
Required IRS Assurance Testing System (ATS) testing and Terminal Tax's production-release requirements remain incomplete.
Terminal Tax is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the IRS or the U.S. Treasury.
Intended role
A transmission wire for returns prepared elsewhere.
Terminal Tax is intended to be a transmission wire for already-prepared individual federal and state returns supplied by the taxpayer's own software or agent.
Prepared elsewhere
The taxpayer's software or agent supplies the completed return, the facts, and the filing choices.
Mechanical by design
The intended service would mechanically validate caller-supplied data, package the taxpayer-supplied return for transmission, and relay filing acknowledgements. It may reproduce deterministic arithmetic from caller-supplied values only inside the complete authority-backed active-year coverage contract. It does not select treatments or complete missing facts; an unevidenced condition stops.
The taxpayer signs
The taxpayer must personally review the complete return and perform every required signature and possession-factor step.
Deliberate limits
Preparation happens elsewhere.
Terminal Tax is not intended to conduct a tax interview, select tax treatments, fill factual gaps, provide tax advice, or infer missing or ambiguous values. Terminal Tax itself does not use a language model to determine, select, infer, or alter return data.
Missing or ambiguous values stop the process and remain for the taxpayer and their software or agent to resolve.
No Terminal Tax account, login, or tax interview.
How chatbot tax filing would work
From a completed tax conversation to filing.
Can I file my taxes through a chatbot?
Terminal Tax is being developed to transmit completed tax returns prepared with an AI chatbot. Your assistant handles the tax conversation; Terminal Tax would handle mechanical validation and transmission after your review and signature. Terminal Tax is not available for live filing.
Can I transmit a prepared tax return without re-entering it in tax software?
That is the intended workflow: a supported chatbot passes the completed return through a hosted integration, so you do not repeat the tax interview or retype the prepared return. You still enter identity, refund or payment, and signing details yourself in the filing session. There is no pasted-conversation or general-purpose document-upload workflow.
Will Terminal Tax work with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?
The intended integrations are for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini through hosted MCP or OpenAPI adapters. These integrations are not publicly available. A chatbot must be able to invoke a supported Terminal Tax tool; finding this website in a search does not connect it. A chat interface with no outbound tool support cannot initiate filing.
Is Terminal Tax for IRS and state income tax filing?
The intended service covers already-prepared U.S. individual federal and state income tax returns. It is being built for ordinary federal and all-state/DC coverage before its first customer. Required testing and release conditions remain incomplete; no federal or state live filing is offered today.
