Claude Code在会计师做的报税表里找到两项漏掉的扣除,连前几年一起改完,约10万美元能拿回来
weird-eye-issue用Claude Code复核了会计师做的报税表。Claude Code找出两处遗漏:一项是住在美国以外的人可以享受的扣除,另一项是已经卖掉的出租房产上一年产生的亏损所对应的扣除。被问到是怎么做到的,weird-eye-issue回答:"It wasn't a trick, it was just pretty standard stuff in my situation that they completely forgot to take advantage of"(这不是什么窍门,在我的情况下这些都是很常见的项目,只是会计师完全忘了用上)。
会计师的第一封回复是"Yes. As long as you purchased the goodwill, you can depreciate them. We will start depreciating the goodwill from 2025."(是的,只要您购买了商誉,就可以摊销。我们会从2025年起计入商誉摊销。)照这封回复,已经提交的2024年报税表里仍然缺着商誉扣除。于是Willen要求会计师要么免费为2024年做修正申报,要么按Claude估算的金额赔偿这次失误造成的损失。会计师这才道歉,表示会做修正申报。
Alex Willen重新发出的提示词
go into plan mode and come up with a comprehensive plan to review every single document, check every number in the return and then think through all potential deductions given the information available to it
plan mode是Claude Code的功能。Willen写道,工作结束后问一句有没有跳过的地方、文件是不是真的都读了,不会有任何损失。
Willen问"Is this excusable?"(这个失误能原谅吗?),Claude回答"No, not really."(不,说不过去)。理由是:Willen告知过收购一事,连日期都说了;商誉记在账上;商誉摊销(美国税法第197条)是处理企业收购的会计师理应知道的基本常识;这是常见做法,不是罕见的例外。来源:Alex Willen, The Automated Operator
sahn44写道,一个接一个地把问题发给会计师,心里有点过意不去。据sahn44说,会计师道歉并改正了问题("he was apologetic and corrected")。
大家怎么说
好评
“I keep all my tax documents on my computer. This morning I connected Claude and ChatGPT to the folder and asked it to review my tax returns. It found errors in 4 out of the 5 years.”
“Went phenomenally well for me! They were apologetic, changed everything they got wrong and added some forms they missed and filed and I felt simultaneously way more assured about the process and also way more concerned about the glaring errors they missed”
“I have learned more about bookkeeping and taxes from doing them with Claude in the last few months than I have learned from my bookkeeper and CPA in the entire time I've worked with them.”
“I have another friend who sent so many corrections to his CPA his CPA sent him a pissed off reply telling him basically never to do that again so ymmv”
