AI product Open source

opentax-engine

opentax-engine is an open-source deterministic US tax calculator designed for AI agents and other applications. It accepts tax facts such as wages, filing status, and dependents, applies an encoded rule corpus, and returns cent-exact results with assumptions, legal citations, and a proof tree showing how each value was derived. If its rules cannot derive an answer, the project is designed to refuse rather than guess. The calculation can be selected for a date with an --as-of option, and the CLI accepts flags or JSON fact files; the videos also identify CLI, browser, and MCP integrations.

Overview

The engine is implemented in TypeScript with no platform dependencies and can run in a self-contained browser HTML file containing the engine, rule corpus, and verifier. Proofs use canonical JSON, hashing, and a Merkle construction; the verifier independently re-derives the calculation and reports altered proof data, rule-corpus differences, or steps that do not match. The repository describes the project as AGPL-3.0 licensed, with commercial licenses available.
