How do I audit tax transactions with my AI?

Your AI pulls order, refund, and customer exemption data from TaxJar to find mismatches in your records. You'll get a clear list of specific issues to investigate.

Audit outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI categorizes TaxJar information into these specific buckets.

DISCREPANCIES

Unmatched orders

The AI flags orders where the tax collected doesn't match your expected rates. You get a list of specific order IDs to check.

EXEMPTIONS

Exemption errors

It identifies customers marked as exempt who lack valid exemption data. This helps you catch improper tax-exempt sales.

REFUNDS

Refund mismatches

The AI compares refund amounts against original tax liabilities. It highlights where tax credits might be incorrect.

HUMAN

Manual review

When the AI finds a conflict it can't resolve, it flags it for you. You make the final call on how to fix the record.
