Show HN: Taxplain – AI Tax Guidance That Explains Your Situation

https://www.taxplain.xyz/
1•smusham•1w ago
I built Taxplain because existing tax software is great at form-filling but terrible at guidance. Most Americans don't understand why they owe what they owe or how to optimize their situation.

Taxplain uses AI to answer tax questions in plain English across complex scenarios: crypto gains, self-employment, AMT, business structures, state-specific rules. It's like having a tax advisor in your pocket, powered by verified IRS documentation and tax code.

The core insight: people don't want software—they want answers. We're targeting the DIY tax filer market that TurboTax underserves on guidance.

Currently in beta. Would love feedback on the approach, the UX, or whether this solves a real problem for you.
