Do not mistake the interface for the product. Keeper Tax's durable value is banking, compliance, trust, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build a powerful tax preparation and expense tracking application for freelancers, inspired by Keeper Tax.
Stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, and Drizzle ORM.

### Core Features to Implement:
1. **Expense Tracking & Deduction Discovery:**
   - Build an engine to import bank transactions via CSV and automatically track business expenses.
   - Implement a simulated "AI-Powered Deduction Finder": a rules engine that scans transaction descriptions and suggests potential tax deductions based on common freelancer categories.
   - Keep expenses organized year-round with real-time dashboards and spreadsheet exports.

2. **Tax Preparation & Liability Estimation:**
   - Provide real-time estimates of tax liability (Federal, State, Self-Employment) based on imported income and categorized deductions.
   - Build a module to handle complex scenarios: self-employment income, S-Corps, and basic investment tracking.
   - Create a "Prior Year Review" feature: allow users to manually enter last year's summary data to compare and find missed opportunities.

3. **Simulated Tax Assistant:**
   - Build an in-app chat interface simulating a "Tax Assistant" (can be powered by a local LLM or hardcoded FAQs) to answer basic tax law questions.

### Technical Requirements:
- Make the app single-user, fully private, and local-first.
- Store data in a local SQLite database with robust encryption for sensitive fields.
- Exclude real IRS e-filing capabilities, actual human tax professional review, and live bank feeds.
- Implement a polished, mobile-friendly responsive UI.
- Provide a README with setup instructions, backup strategies, and a disclaimer that the app is for estimation only and not official tax advice.
