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.
