Your taxes. Your machine. Your data.
TaxClaw turns W‑2s, 1099s, and K‑1 PDFs into clean data — locally by default, without uploading your SSN to anyone.
Runs on your machine. Exports CSV/JSON. No account required.
Why are we still retyping boxes in 2026?
- You’re handed a stack of PDFs and asked to become a human OCR engine.
- One fat-fingered digit can turn into hours of cleanup (or a notice).
- Most “AI tax tools” start with: upload your most sensitive documents to our servers.

Tax docs aren’t “just paperwork.” They’re your SSN, your income, your accounts — your whole financial life.
Most AI tools lead with “upload your PDFs.” TaxClaw doesn’t.
If you choose cloud inference, document content is sent to the selected provider. Local is the default.
