Use case overview
OpenClaw built a Schedule C P&L from bank transactions, guided TurboTax entry for 4+ hours and caught an error in a prior accountant's work.
Reported experience
What they did
User uploaded purchase agreements, K-1s, prior returns back to 2012, bank statements, and balance sheets to OpenClaw. The agent read them chronologically, reconstructed entity history and cost basis across LLC-to-S-corp conversions and sales, prepared a summary.md, built Schedule C P&L from bank transactions, researched TurboTax plans, and dictated entries screen-by-screen while the user clicked through forms and recategorized one transaction.
How it went
Produced a 137-page return with $125K federal due after $40K estimated payments already made; saved $500 on the TurboTax plan and ~$3,700 via annualized income method on Form 2210. Browser automation failed so user drove TurboTax; K-1 had to be estimated.
Worth knowing
Total cost was $129 TurboTax + $23.90 in tokens versus $8,000 CPA the prior year.
Example prompts
Using my bank transaction exports in [folder or account], build a Schedule C profit and loss for [year] for my business [business type]. Sort expenses into the right categories, list anything ambiguous for me to decide, and double-check last year's return at [file path] for inconsistencies. Then guide me through entering it in [tax software], and pause before anything is filed or submitted.
