This Skill reviews a tax return, flags commonly missed deductions by filer type, and quantifies potential savings in dollars. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Return Review Checklist: Systematically checks filing status, standard vs. itemized deductions, Form 8995 (QBI), Schedule 1 adjustments, and carryforwards. - Missed Deduction Detection: Covers W-2 employees, self-employed filers, investors, and homeowners with current-year contribution limits and phase-outs. - Tax Strategy Guidance: Prioritizes tax-advantaged accounts (HSA, 401(k), Roth IRA, 529) and flags aggressive positions that need CPA review. - Use Case: A self-employed user shares last year's Schedule C return; the Skill spots a missing Form 8995 and estimates a $4,200 QBI deduction worth roughly $925 in refund at the 22% bracket, amendable up to 3 years back. ## Quick Start Review my attached tax return and list any missed deductions with estimated dollar savings for each finding.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find missed deductions on my tax return?

Check for Form 8995 if you have Schedule C, E, or K-1 income, since the 20% QBI deduction is the most commonly missed item. Also verify Schedule 1 adjustments like half of self-employment tax, SE health insurance, HSA, and student loan interest.

What deductions can self-employed filers claim on Schedule C?

Self-employed filers can deduct QBI (20% of qualified business income), half of SE tax, 100% of health insurance premiums, Solo 401(k) or SEP-IRA contributions, home office expenses, and business portions of phone, internet, and software.

Can this skill file or amend my tax return?

No, it only reviews returns and identifies potential savings as general tax information. Filing or amending requires actual tax software or a qualified CPA, especially for self-employment, rentals, K-1s, or state issues.

Does the tax review cover state-specific tax rules?

No, state-specific tax law questions are out of scope because state conformity to federal law varies widely. The review focuses on federal deductions and recommends consulting a local CPA for state matters.

Why do the contribution limits in the review need verification?

IRS contribution limits, standard deductions, and phase-out thresholds change annually through inflation adjustments. The skill instructs verifying figures with a web search for current-year IRS limits rather than trusting memorized numbers.
