QWED Taxv0.2.1

# A verification gate for AI-made tax decisions.

Not a calculator and not a filing platform. QWED Tax checks decisions that an AI or another system has made, such as a worker classification or a withholding figure, against specific rules for the United States and India.

## Mistakes it is built to catch

Nobody checked any of it

### Without QWED Tax

-   **A figure that ignores a limit** FICA tax on a $500,000 salary given as $31,000, as if the Social Security wage limit did not exist.

-   **A loss set off in the wrong place** An intraday trading loss set off against salary, which Indian tax rules do not allow.

-   **A crypto loss deducted** A Bitcoin loss deducted from business profit, against Section 115BBH.

Each one checked before it is used

### With QWED Tax

1.  **A figure that ignores a limit** PayrollGuard The wage limit is applied, and the figure is held.

    VERIFIED · DENY
2.  **A loss set off in the wrong place** InterHeadAdjustmentGuard That set-off is not allowed, so it is held.

    VERIFIED · DENY
3.  **A crypto loss deducted** CryptoTaxGuard Section 115BBH does not allow it, so it is held.

    VERIFIED · DENY

What is proven correct goes through, with a record of why.

Good to know

-   QWED Tax is not a calculator, a filing platform or a payroll system. It checks decisions that an AI or another system has made.
-   It covers specific rules for the United States and India, not every tax regime. It does not file returns.
