About 45 minutes the first time, then 20 minutes each tax season Advanced

A sketch of what you'll get back.

Your prompt

Fill in your details. Skip any you like.

Claude opens with your prompt already typed in. It's copied too, just in case.

The prompt that gets copied

Help me gather everything my accountant needs for [TAX YEAR, e.g. 2026]. Don't give tax advice. Just find and organize.

1. Search my Gmail from the start of that year to today for tax forms and statements (W-2, 1099, 1098, 1095 and similar), payment confirmations from [INCOME SOURCES, e.g. Stripe, PayPal and my clients], charity receipts, and property tax or tuition bills.
2. Read last year's document list in my folder and compare. Flag any payer or account from last year with nothing this year.
3. Build a checklist: document, who sends it, status (found, missing or in a portal) and a link to the email. Don't copy full ID or account numbers into it.
4. For forms that live in a portal, tell me where to log in and download them. Never ask for my passwords.
5. Once I've downloaded the files into the folder, rename each one the same way (year, type, payer), sort them into subfolders and update the checklist.

Never delete, send or share anything. If you're not sure a document is tax-related, ask me.

Claude searches your Gmail for every tax form, payment and receipt, compares the list with last year's and shows what's still missing. Then it names and sorts the files you download into one tidy folder.

Step by step

  3. Paste the prompt and review the checklist Claude builds.
  4. Download each form it links to yourself, plus anything from bank or brokerage portals.
