1040.GURU · FOUNDING PRACTITIONER PILOT
A tax question deserves
a supportable answer.
Move from facts to governing authority, practical analysis, and a workpaper you can review and keep.
Tax Authority Navigator is the research component of 1040.guru. We are inviting a small group of practitioners to help test it on the questions that arise in real engagements.
Invitation-only · Target cohort: 25–50 practitioners · Application review required
Start with the facts.
Inspect the authority.
Test the conclusion.
Keep the workpaper.
FOR THE WORK YOU ALREADY DO
Useful research begins with the practitioner's question.
Ask about a deduction, a federal/state difference, a planning alternative, or a procedural issue. Add the relevant year, dates and facts. Navigator can ask a focused clarification or explain conditional conclusions when an important fact is unknown.
Explore the alternatives
Compare feasible treatments and identify what could defeat a proposed position.
Preserve the reasoning
Save a complete research conversation as a PDF or editable text.
PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT STAYS WITH YOU
The answer is a starting point for review.
The current pilot researches official web sources. Source links and review instructions support your work; they do not certify legal accuracy or completeness. Inspect the authorities before relying on a result.
HELP SHAPE A USEFUL TOOL
A focused pilot with meaningful feedback.
We are looking for practitioners who will test familiar issues, check sources, and tell us where the workflow or analysis needs improvement. Use de-identified facts throughout.
