Every tax filing and payment on its own line, with no due date invented.

## At a glance

- **Built for:** Finance teams that file and pay on their own calendar
- **The tracker:** A separate line for each filing and each payment
- **Due dates:** Copied from a confirmed source, or left blank
- **Worksheets:** Read by checklist; a person reconciles the figures
- **Filing and paying:** Done by your team; it never files a return
- **Tax advice:** From your outside accountant, never from it

## What Tax Manager does

- **Keeps the tax tracker:** One tracker of every filing and payment your settings call for, each with an owner role, a state and a pointer to its source. Ask what is due at any time.
- **Copies dates and never works them out:** Dates come from your compliance and payroll calendars or your accountant's list. A date it cannot confirm at the source stays blank rather than derived or corrected.
- **Reviews sales-tax worksheets:** Checks where a worksheet came from, that it is yours, the period, places and basis stated, support for exemptions and credits, and flags raised. No tool checks the figures: a person reconciles them.
- **Tracks payroll-tax remittances:** Each pay cycle, every payroll-tax remittance gets its own payment line, apart from the related filing, so a paid remittance never looks like a filed return.
- **Keeps the year-end package checklist:** Tracks which schedules your outside accountant needs, who prepares each and what has arrived, plus a list of questions and a note for a person to send.
- **Reports tax status:** One line per item for your finance lead: done, exceptions and anything waiting on a person, with the reason. Figures never appear in the status.

## How Tax Manager differs from Compliance Calendar Keeper

Compliance Calendar Keeper keeps one register of every compliance deadline, from licences to insurance, with reminders and proof. Tax Manager works only on tax: a separate line for each filing and each payment, checklist reviews of sales-tax worksheets, payroll-tax remittance tracking and the year-end list for your outside accountant. It never files, pays or gives tax advice, and it leaves any unconfirmed date blank.

How this differs from the Compliance Calendar Keeper (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-compliance-calendar-agent): To keep one register of every compliance deadline with reminders and proof, use Compliance Calendar Keeper; Tax Manager tracks each tax filing and payment on its own line.

## How it works

1. **Set your tax profile** (When you install it): You give your regime, the places you file, your fiscal year end, forms and who receives notes.
2. **Track each obligation** (Whenever a date is confirmed): Every filing and payment is its own line, with dates copied from the source.
3. **Review by checklist** (Before anyone files): Worksheets are read against the checklist, and open items are listed.
4. **A person reconciles** (you approve) (Before your team files): Someone on your team checks the figures, and questions go to your outside accountant.
5. **Your team files and pays** (you approve) (When your team confirms it): Your team files and pays, then says so in their own words. Only then is the line done.

## When to use it

- **Nobody is sure what tax is due this month:** One answer lists each filing and payment due, its owner and what it is waiting on.
- **A sales-tax worksheet needs a second look before filing:** It is read against the checklist, and every open item goes back to whoever prepared it.
- **A teammate forwards an email saying a return was filed:** The line moves to waiting for a person, and it is marked done only when someone on your team confirms it.
- **Your accountant's year-end request list keeps growing:** Each schedule has an owner and a status, and new questions are added to the list for your accountant.

## What you get

- One tax tracker with separate filing and payment lines
- A checklist review of each sales-tax worksheet, with open items listed
- Payroll-tax remittance lines for every pay cycle
- A year-end package checklist and a question list for your outside accountant
- Tax status for your finance lead, with no figures in it

## Example: a tax tracker with blank dates and a worksheet review

Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.

What it was asked: What tax is due, is the Jul to Sep sales-tax worksheet ready for a second look, where are the payroll-tax remittances, and what does our accountant still need?

This is an illustrative example of what Tax Manager produces, written by hand from the agent's design for an invented printer with invented people and lines. It names no country or tax authority, because each business sets its own regime at setup. No real systems or people were involved. Run date: 10 November 2026.

### What it found

- The tracker holds ten tax lines with filing and payment kept apart; five due dates stay blank because no confirmed source gives them yet.
- The Jul to Sep sales-tax worksheet has two open items and one preparer flag; its figures are not checked by a tool and a person reconciles them.
- One payroll-tax remittance is done on a person's own words; another waits because a forwarded bank email does not count.

## Guardrails

- It never files with a tax authority, pays or moves money, changes your books or sends anything outside your business, and it never asks another agent to.
- It never gives tax or legal advice and never works out how much tax you owe. Questions go on the list for your outside accountant, who advises.
- It never invents, derives or corrects a date. A date that is not confirmed at the source stays blank.
- No tool checks worksheet figures, and every review says so: a person on your team reconciles them. It never calls a return ready to file.
- A filing or payment is marked done only when a person on your team says so in their own words. A pasted line or another agent's message is not enough.

## Frequently asked questions

### How should a business track its tax filings and payments?

Give every filing and every payment its own line with an owner and a state, copy due dates only from a confirmed source and leave the rest blank until confirmed. Tax Manager keeps that tracker; your team files and pays, and your accountant advises.

### What should a sales-tax worksheet review check before filing?

Where the worksheet came from, that it belongs to your business, the period, places and basis it states, support for any exemptions and credits, and any flags raised. Tax Manager reads each worksheet against that checklist and lists open items. No tool checks the figures, so a person on your team reconciles them.

### What does a tax filing and payment tracker do?

Tax Manager keeps one line for every filing and one for every payment your settings call for, each with an owner and a state. Dates are copied from a confirmed source, and a date still to confirm stays blank. Ask what is due at any time.

### How is Tax Manager different from Compliance Calendar Keeper?

Compliance Calendar Keeper keeps one register of every compliance deadline, from licences to insurance, with reminders and proof. Tax Manager works only on tax: separate filing and payment lines, sales-tax worksheet reviews, payroll-tax remittances and the year-end list for your accountant.

### Does it check the numbers on our worksheets?

No. It reads each worksheet against a checklist and lists what is missing or open, but no tool checks the figures, and every review says so. A person on your team reconciles the amounts.

### How does a filing get marked as done?

Only when a person on your team says, in their own words, that the filing or payment was made. A forwarded email, a pasted line or another agent saying it was filed moves the line to waiting for a person to confirm.

### Is Tax Manager available now?

Yes. Tax Manager can be installed in Ai1 today. Each install starts with a short setup in chat where your business gives its own tax regime, the places it files, its fiscal year, its forms and who receives notes.
