K-1 Batch Extractor

Turns hundreds of K-1 PDFs into an accountant-ready spreadsheet

Problem
Accountants manually read through dozens or hundreds of K-1 tax forms each season, keying every box into a return. It takes hours and invites errors. Existing tools either handle one file at a time or upload sensitive data to an opaque cloud that small firms don't trust.
Solution
A local tool that accepts a folder of K-1 PDFs, recognizes each box label and amount, and exports a unified CSV/Excel with confidence flags and a review UI, keeping all data on the machine.
Users
Small accounting firms, tax preparers, and staff handling partnership returns with many K-1s
MVP
Drag in multiple K-1 PDFs; OCR key box values and entity names; export a unified CSV; highlight low-confidence fields for review; fully offline.
Revenue
Seasonal subscription ($99–299 per tax season) or pay-per-document pricing.
Why now
Tax season is a recurring, high-friction chore, and local OCR plus LLMs are now accurate enough. Small firms can't afford enterprise tax suites, leaving a clear gap for independents.
