A new type of tax firm.
Fast tax advice for everyone.
We started Deduction to solve a simple problem: there are not enough CPAs. This has resulted in decades of increasing prices, low responsiveness, and a lack of proactive advice and planning. We're changing that, by combining the best of AI with licensed tax professionals to make personalized tax support available same-day for a fraction of the price of an accountant.
Taxes are getting more complex. Help is getting harder to find.
If you've ever tried to find a good accountant, you know the struggle. The best ones are expensive, slow to respond, and only available a few months a year. Meanwhile, tax software asks you to do all the work, and can't answer your real questions. We built Deduction to bridge that gap.
AI that works with CPAs, not instead of them.
Deduction is built for you. Our AI tax assistant, Taylor CPAI, handles the work that used to take weeks: organizing documents, finding deductions, answering your questions, and preparing your return. But here's what makes us different, all high-impact decisions and returns are reviewed by a licensed tax professional on our team before it reaches the IRS.
"Most AI tax tools are B2B, and focus on software for accountants and increasing margins. We built Deduction to radically improve the end-customer experience. With Taylor, CPAI, anyone can have a personal accountant, without the wait, the paperwork, or the high expense."
- Sai Dhanak, Co-Founder & CEO
