My AI knows a business meal is only half deductible, and books it that way
Here is a rule people get wrong all the time: a business meal is generally only fifty percent deductible. Claim the full amount and you have overstated your deduction. Laura builds the meal schedule at the correct half rate automatically.
The rules you are supposed to just know
Tax has dozens of little rules like this that you are expected to apply correctly without being told. Meals and entertainment at fifty percent is one of the common ones to miss. Book a client lunch at full value and your return is wrong in a way that is easy to spot and annoying to unwind.
Laura applies the right treatment when she builds the schedule. A meal goes in at half. The total that flows to the return is already correct, so there is no cleanup later and no overstated claim to walk back.
Rules encoded once, applied every time
This is the quiet strength of a financial agent. You teach it the rule once, and it applies it the same way to every transaction, forever, without getting tired or cutting a corner. The knowledge does not live in one person's head or get forgotten in a busy week.
Correct by default beats correct if you remember.
The tax rules you are supposed to just know are exactly what an agent should own. We build it.
