Deduction Library

Every deduction our AI surfaces cites the exact IRC section. Here are ten real patterns.

Taxerity.AI flags a missed deduction, attaches the IRC citation that supports it, and shows you the source-document patterns the engine matched on. Browse the ten patterns below — every card is the same shape your firm reviewer sees inside the scanner, redacted to illustrative patterns.

For sales & client conversations

Screenshot-ready. Inspection-ready.

Every card on this page is a redacted form of what your firm reviewer sees inside the in-app scanner. Send a single card into a client conversation; pull ten of them into a partner meeting. The IRC citation is on every card so the next “why are we claiming this?” question has an answer built in.

No other AI tax tool publishes this level of citation detail publicly. Each card is here because the citation chain survives contact with an auditor — and because your firm’s professional judgment is the next step, not the AI’s.

Why this matters
Most AI tax tools optimize for headline savings — and quietly drop the citations that an auditor or a client partner would actually need. Taxerity.AI treats the citation chain as the deliverable. Every recommendation carries the IRC section, the evidence pattern, and the failure mode the reviewer needs to think through before signing.
  • · Citation on every recommendation — IRC §, not a paragraph of prose.
  • · Evidence the scanner matched on, with redacted source-document traces.
  • · Human-review caveat on every card — the firm owner stays on the line.
