The problem
A federal return finishes. Then the re-keying starts.
A preparer wraps up an 1120-S, 1120, or 1065, then has to take the same line items — adjusted for apportionment, deductions, and local quirks — into anywhere from 1 to 15+ different Kentucky city and county forms. Each jurisdiction has its own form, rate, line numbering, deduction rules, and remit-to address. The work is tedious, error-prone, and burns hours that should go into higher-value advisory work.

How it works
Three steps. Preparer in the loop at every one.
02
AI extracts & populates
Line items are extracted with confidence scoring, then jurisdiction logic fills every local form.
03
Preparer reviews & approves
A field-by-field review queue surfaces what needs human judgment before filing-ready output is prepared.

Data residency
Your client data never leaves hardware we operate.
Cattax runs AI inference locally, on hardware operated by Cattax. No third-party AI APIs. No cloud round-trips with client tax data. No sending 1120s and K-1s to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google to be processed.
For a profession where client confidentiality is a regulated obligation, this is meaningfully different from the rest of the AI-in-tax category.
- Local AI inferenceNo third-party model APIs. No data leaves our hardware.
- Strict tenant isolationDatabase, application, and filesystem isolation at every layer.
- Encrypted at rest & in transitAES-256 storage. TLS in transit.
- Append-only audit trailEvery state change recorded. Reconstructable on demand.
