One analysis of your return. Two directions of finding.
RefundAnalyzer evaluates a business income, franchise, or sales/use tax return against the actual statutes, regulations, agency guidance, and case law behind it — and reports both where a position is exposed to audit risk and where it left a legitimate refund unclaimed, from the same fact-to-rule match.
A position taken on the return is more favorable than any outcome the law actually supports for those facts — real audit exposure, flagged before a regulator finds it.
A position taken is less favorable than the law allows — an exemption not claimed, an apportionment method not elected, a credit left on the table.
How the evaluation works
Not a single "correct answer" engine — the law itself often supports more than one defensible position, and the system is built to know the difference.
Facts, not assumptions
Return and entity facts are recorded with an explicit determined/undetermined state — a criterion the system can't evaluate says so, rather than guessing.
The full set of defensible outcomes
For a given fact pattern, the engine returns every legally defensible outcome under current law — not one guess at "the" answer.
Compare, then classify
The position actually taken is checked against that whole set. A match to any member is not a finding — only a position no reading of the law supports gets flagged, in whichever direction it deviates.
Eight states at launch
Income, franchise, and sales/use tax law, tracked at the statute, regulation, and agency-guidance level — not every state pairs all three the same way, so coverage is tracked per state, per tax type.
