There is no server to upload to.
Most tax software asks you to send the client's return to a server you don't control. This tool can't — it's a single file that does all its work in your browser. For the security-conscious, here is exactly how that holds up.
Parsed in your browser
The PDF is read by code running on your own machine. It is never sent to a server — there is no server. Once you have the file, it runs with the network turned off, which you can verify by disconnecting before you open a return.
Only figures are read
The importer matches dollar amounts against standard 1040 line numbers. Identifiers like Social Security and EIN numbers don't match that pattern, so they are never pulled into the tool.
Nothing is stored remotely
There is no account and no cloud copy. The only thing written to local storage is your acceptance of the license terms. Close the tab and the return data is gone.
A real assent record, kept locally
Because there's no server to log to, your acceptance of the license is recorded on your machine and stamped into the footer of every report the tool generates — an auditable record that lives with you.
No analytics, no telemetry in the tool
The calculator file does not phone home. It carries everything it needs to run, so there is nothing to track and nowhere for usage to be reported.
White-label, your copyright story aside from ours
Your firm's logo, name, and report by-line throughout. The only mark that stays is the underlying software copyright.
Use of the tool is governed by the End-User License Agreement, and how data is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.
