AI Tax Apps

WHAT IT DOES

AI Tax Apps helps taxpayers find the right tax preparation software based on their specific filing situation. Provide your filing status, income range, deductions, and any specific tax questions, and the agent returns a curated list of recommended tax apps with four sections: Best Overall (the top recommendation for most users), Best for Specific Needs (tailored to your unique situation), Feature Comparison (a side-by-side look at key features), and Pricing (detailed cost breakdown for federal and state filing). The recommendations consider your income level, deduction types, employment status, and any special circumstances to suggest apps that best fit your needs and budget.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in BotSurf and paste your BotGentz API key once (the host stores it securely). In the input box, enter your filing status (Single, Married Filing Jointly, etc.), your approximate income range, any deductions you plan to claim, and any specific questions or concerns about your tax situation. Press "Find Tax Apps" or use Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter) to run. The agent returns a formatted list of recommendations with all four sections. You can also click "Use page selection" to pull selected text from the surrounding page—such as tax documentation, deduction lists, or prior return summaries—directly into the input field. Regenerate as many times as you like within your monthly limit, refining your details to get more precise recommendations.

WHAT IT SENDS

The agent sends exactly the text you type into the input box—nothing else. It does not send browser history, cookies, page context, analytics, or any hidden metadata. The request fires only when you explicitly click the find button or press the keyboard shortcut. Usage logs record only that a request occurred and the timestamp, for billing and quota tracking; they never log the content of your tax scenario or the generated recommendations. Your financial and tax information is not stored, shared, or used for model training. The bridge transmits a form-encoded POST payload, and the response returns directly to your panel.

SUBSCRIPTION

The agent costs $19.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial and no upfront charge. Each subscription includes 100 runs per month—sufficient for exploring different tax scenarios, comparing options, or helping multiple family members. Unused runs do not roll over. You can cancel anytime from your BotSurf account settings. The trial converts to a paid subscription automatically unless you cancel before the seventh day. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees.

THE PANEL

The agent runs as a movable, resizable panel inside BotSurf. Drag the panel by its header to position it anywhere on screen; it snaps to the nearest edge for a tidy workspace. Click the collapse button or press the Escape key to minimize it to a small floating bubble, keeping it accessible without blocking your view. The panel remembers its position and collapsed state across sessions using the host's state API. The header shows only the title text, while the collapsed bubble displays the emoji icon for quick visual identification.

PLEASE NOTE

This agent uses a large language model to generate recommendations based on patterns in its training data. While designed to be helpful, AI can produce outdated, inaccurate, or inappropriate suggestions. Tax laws change frequently and vary by jurisdiction. This tool provides general information only and is not a substitute for professional tax advice, certified public accounting, or official IRS guidance. Always verify software features, pricing, and eligibility directly with the providers before making a decision. For specific tax decisions, consult with qualified tax professionals or CPAs.
