The party page's "TIN on file" and the W-9 card's TIN copy the full,
formatted number on click (right-click: digits only). The viewer reads
it from the vault only at that moment, with the server's key file in
force, never creates a key, refuses a key inside the books dir, and
never draws more than the last four. A locked vault copies nothing and
says why.

Regulators and registries that don't tax the company (a division of
corporations, a licensing board), distinct from tax_agency. Core Role,
MCP descriptions, viewer label/noun/icon, docs, and tests.

An independent recompute of the real books found no numeric
disagreements; review found 15 defects, all fixed with spec-first
regression tests:
- k1: a prepaid credited straight to capital is property; a member
paying a vendor through 2100 is cash. Docs and B-13 match.
- parties: a reversal of a reversal counts on its root's side;
liability-to-liability payments (member pays the card) count as paid.
- viewer: party money uses the server's cash accounts and full calendar
year; per-party "What for" scales multi-party entries.
- reconciliations: refuse a withdrawn statement before journaling; new
books.void_statement; reconciled lines can't be un-cleared; one shared
reconcilable-accounts rule for digest and viewer.
- CPA package includes receipts linked to entries; a file can't be both
filed on and linked to one entry.
- parties = "require" covers payroll, tax remittance (agency) and
disposal (buyer); no-party marks follow reversal chains and clear when
a vendor is tagged.
- derived member shares are frozen to exact amounts when posted, so a
settings change never re-splits history.

Entries may name several parties, each with an exact amount, a percent,
or a share derived from the members' capital lines or [[company.members]]
shares (entry.parties_set); shares always sum exactly. The 1099
worksheet counts a vendor's share. A member's party page is their
partner capital statement, from the same ledger_core::k1 source as the
CPA package.
books.set_tin stores any party's TIN (members' SSNs for K-1s) in the
vault (party.tin_set, last four in the books). The CPA package carries a
K-1 member worksheet (k1-members.csv, with a members' total that ties to
Schedule L) and the 1099 worksheet with full TINs, saved outside the
books only. files_jointly_with notes spouses' two K-1s land on one 1040.
Adversarial review fixes: reversed contributions no longer inflate K-1
contributions and distributions; a K-1 row never takes another party's
TIN; TIN detection covers dot/slash/dash separators; refusals redact
TINs; vendor tagging can't silently replace shared parties; reversals
follow re-apportioning.

MCP: books.link_attachment, unlink_attachment, attachments; link_to on
attach_receipt and file_document; record_statement, statements;
books.reconcile previews and, confirmed against a recorded statement,
records the reconciliation; void_reconciliation, reconciliations;
import_bank_csv links its source file; digest lists unreconciled
accounts.
TIN vault: books.set_w9 takes the TIN and the form into the encrypted
vault (last four in the books); books.vendor_1099 include_tins and
save_csv_to for the CPA's copy; books.get_w9; books.purge_tin. A leak
test scans every tool output, the journal, the database, and the blobs.
[books] parties = off | suggest | require (default suggest): every
preview names the entry's party or suggests likely ones; require refuses
to post until it names one or is marked as having none (entry.no_party).
Viewer: documents on every subject page; statements and reconciliation
history per account; reconciliation pages; reconcile and
no-counterparty attention items; party money by period (paid out,
received in, net, what for, by month); Needs attention gets its own
full-width section.

Parties: one directory for vendors, contractors, customers, employees,
members, platforms, agencies, banks, landlords (ledger-core parties.rs).
W-9/W-4 facts without the number (last four only; any nine-digit run in a
party field is refused, Treas. Reg. 301.6109-4). Vendor and customer
records link to parties on replay; core tags every bill, invoice, payment,
and reversal with its counterparty. Journal events party.*,
entry.party_set; payroll lines name the employee party.
MCP: books.add_party, update_party, set_party_roles, set_w9, set_w4,
parties, party, set_entry_party; draft_entry party; run_payroll employee;
show party. Viewer: Parties directory and party pages, search, journal
text, W-9 attention, demo data.
One definition of a party's money (ledger_core::parties::activity) for
MCP and viewer. 1099 amounts count payments from cash and financing
accounts (a member paying for the company counts; a card doesn't; a
prepayment counts when made): vendor_1099_report_with, B-19.
Store: attachment links to any subject, statements, reconciliations
(schema v11), with replay and projection. ledger-vault: encrypted TIN and
W-9 records (ChaCha20-Poly1305, key file outside the books).
Spec-blind tests for parties (core, store, MCP, viewer) and attachments.

Reg. 1.168(i)-4(b)), TaxBasis with the contributor's adjusted basis, Asset::tax_basis and ::built_in_gain (IRC 704(c)); the register gains tax rule, contributor basis, tax basis, built-in gain, total tax basis, missing count (rules.md B-25; sources vendored in docs/spec/sources/irs-partnership-basis.md)
