Where Tax Regret Starts
The problem is not filing once a year. The problem is discovering missing deductions when it is already too late.
- You realize too late that you missed deductible expenses.
- You track side-income tax in messy spreadsheets, notes, or bank tags.
- Tax time becomes stressful because your numbers are stale or incomplete.
What This MVP Prioritizes
- A simple dashboard that shows income, deductions, and estimated tax in one view.
- Receipt OCR ingestion so deduction evidence is captured while it is still fresh.
- Supabase auth and storage with cost-efficient infra designed to scale below $10/month.
How It Works
