01
Generic tools don't know what you do.
A meal you ate to film a review is 100% deductible — but only if your tool knows you're a food creator. Otherwise it's bucketed at 50%, or missed entirely.
For creators

The problem
Generic tax tools weren't built for creators.
02
No one likes saving receipts.
The IRS still wants them. Generic tools leave it to you — a shoebox of paper, a folder of screenshots, or nothing at all by April.
03
"Business expenses" doesn't survive an audit.
A bank statement labeled "Software" is not an answer when the IRS asks why a $200 charge was deductible. Most tools never build the trail.
How it works
Tax deductions by profession — mapped to Schedule C, line by line.
Three steps from purchase to filed Schedule C — every line backed by IRS citation.
01
Meet Genie who knows your profession.
When a new transaction comes in, Genie categorizes it against your profession's playbook — meals, gear, props, travel — each mapped to the right Schedule C line. Built with CPAs, refined as users correct edge cases.
02
Genie asks for a receipt only when the IRS will.
For purchases that need documentation, Genie pings you to forward the receipt — email, text, or vendor portal. For everything else, a bank statement is enough. No shoebox, no chasing paper.
03
Every deduction has its IRS citation, ready for audit.
Each item lands on Line 18, 24a, 25, 27a with a plain-English reason a CPA can stand behind — not a bucket called "Business expenses" that dies on audit. Pattern-level savings totaled in real time ($3,118 in the sample).
