TL;DR Claude Code did my 2024 and 2025 taxes. Added a skill that anyone can use to do their own.

I tested it against TurboTax on my own 2024 and 2025 return. Same result without clicking through 45 minutes of wizard steps.

Would love PRs or feedback as we come up on tax season.

Learnings from replacing TurboTax with Claude

Skill looping The first iteration of my taxes took almost an hour and a decent amount of prompting. Many context compactions, tons of PDF issues, lots of exploration. When it was done, I asked Claude to write the skill to make it faster the next time (eg: Always check for XFA tags first when discovering form fields)

Skills aren’t just .MD files anymore Now they’re folders that can contain code snippets, example files, rules. In 2025 we were all building custom agents with custom tools. In 2026 every agent has its own code execution, network connection, and workspace. So it’s custom skills on the same agent (trending towards Claude Code or Cowork)
