From the IRS form instructions (now quoted in docs/spec/sources/
irs-tax-lines.md):
- On Forms 1065 and 1120-S, Schedule K takes "only taxable portfolio
interest", and charitable contributions are among the items the entity
"must state separately". The tax summary counted both in ordinary
income and deductions; they now go in TaxSummary::separately_stated,
outside book_net and tax_net, and the report, MCP export, and viewer
list them under "Separately stated to owners (Schedule K)".
- Schedule C: "Do not include charitable contributions". The category no
longer applies to Schedule C (a sole proprietor's gift is personal, an
owner draw).
- interest_income's note: interest earned in the business itself is
ordinary income (other_income).
XLSX: a cell number is a binary double and Excel honors 15 significant
digits (Microsoft, "Excel specifications and limits"), so an amount over
$9,999,999,999,999.99 or finer than a cent is written as its exact text,
right-aligned, instead of a number Excel would show wrong. The old
conversion also fell back to 0.0 silently; gone. Property test: every
whole-cent amount up to 15 digits round-trips exactly.

Max-testing pass, step 8. The final mutation run left 112 survivors
(89% caught). Three agents triaged them by file, by the playbook's
table: spec the boundary then test it, a law rather than one more
pinned value, assert the real value, never weaken a test. Every expected
value is hand-computed.
- reports.rs (35): 28 killed, chiefly cash flow (inclusive start date,
each line's sign and label, a loss on disposal moving to investing,
financing designation), general ledger and members' equity date
boundaries, and the balanced() checks (a real report nudged by a cent
must stop balancing). 7 equivalent: four >/>= after an early return on
zero; two in dead code (removed in this commit); one sign of a zero
cleaned on output.
- ledger.rs, kernel.rs, journal.rs, money.rs (52, plus one new): 49
killed, including every replay_* mutant at the core level (ids,
accumulation, status, vendor tags, out-of-order refusal), FX rates,
0%/100% deductible boundaries, a dividend sweep with no income, the
legacy member rounding at close, a bill paid on its own date, a
liability-account reconciliation, mixed-currency entries (via serde),
ISO 4217 minor units, Display/Debug. 3 equivalent: zero refused before
a </<= check; a period whose end is in a closed period refused earlier;
columns(0).
- schedules, tax, analysis, payouts, assets, form1099 (25): 23 killed
(schedule length 1-600, recurring end on its start, frequency parsing
and stepping, cost of goods in tax net, a zero payout, disposal on the
purchase date, quarter starts, labels); 2 equivalent (zero adds zero;
days_held is provably >= 1).
Two small production cleanups the triage surfaced: kernel::columns(0)
returned a negative-zero credit that would print "-0" (regression
a_zero_movement_has_no_negative_zero_column, shown to fail before); and
cash_flow computed a book value it never used.
Spec lines added where a boundary wasn't specified (cash flow's
inclusive start and line signs, members' equity start date, payout with
no deposit, disposal on the purchase date, bill paid on its own date).
`just mutants` now runs core and store tests (the store's replay tests),
not the whole workspace, which rebuilt the viewer for every mutant.

wanderbooks is a general MCP-first accounting application: every
business needs its accounts mapped to where they land on its income tax
return, and its CPA needs book-to-tax differences surfaced, not hidden.
- ledger_core::tax: a catalog of stable categories (gross_receipts,
commissions_fees, meals, guaranteed_payments, officer_compensation,
nondeductible, ...) with kind (income, cost of goods, deduction), the
returns each appears on (Schedule C, 1065, 1120-S, 1120), a default
deductible percent (meals 50, nondeductible 0), and guidance. Keys,
not line numbers: form lines move from year to year.
- Accounts carry tax_category and an optional deductible_percent
override, validated against the account type (and the return, at the
MCP layer), journaled as account.tax_set, replayed, projected (schema
v6).
- tax_summary(start, end, form): the P&L grouped by category, book and
deductible amounts (half away from zero to the cent), contra income
(refunds) reducing receipts, and every account still uncategorized.
- MCP: books.tax_categories (filtered to the configured return),
books.set_tax_category, a tax_summary report in every format and in
the CPA package, chart output with categories, and a fifth
tax_category column in chart CSV imports, validated before anything is
created. [company] tax_form, or derived from tax_classification.
Scope stays book basis: no tax depreciation, basis, or filing.
Tests: a hand-computed quarter (50% meals 333.33 -> 166.67, penalties at
0%, refunds as negative receipts, guaranteed payments, one uncategorized
account; book net 5,276.67 vs tax 5,483.33); overrides; category/account
/return validation; form parsing and derivation; CSV parsing; stdio:
filtered catalog, mapping, refusal, summary, all-or-nothing import.
