The Federal Tax Desk

IRS Transcript Analyzer

Paste an IRS Account Transcript, Wage & Income Transcript, Business (Form 941/940) Account Transcript (coming soon), Return Transcript, or Record of Account Transcript and get every transaction code or income document annotated with the plain-English meaning, practitioner next action, and governing IRM citation — or, for a Return Transcript, every line item extracted verbatim.

Transcript type

Mechanical text extraction only (regex, not OCR, not AI interpretation) — any row flagged with a parsing warning must be verified against the source transcript before use. A PDF upload is extracted entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your machine and never reaches our server.

Help finish Business (941/940) support

Every other transcript type here runs against real IRS documents I've tested. Business (941/940) doesn't yet, so it stays on hold until I can verify it the same way — I won't ship a tax analysis I can't verify.

If you have a redacted 941 or 940 account transcript, send it to forrest@federaltaxdesk.com — black out the EIN, business name, address, and every dollar figure. The document's structure is what I need to finish the tool, not the numbers. I read every email personally and reply within two working days, and you'll get the completed analysis once I've verified everything works.

This page provides general information about IRS procedures. It is not personalized tax advice, and reading it does not create a practitioner-client relationship with Forrest Baumhover, Fbaum Enterprises LLC, or The Federal Tax Desk. Every situation is different — if real money or a real deadline is on the line, consider having a licensed CPA, EA, or tax attorney review your specific facts before you act.
