The P3 cutover review's open point 1: entries carry projects (classes, B-37), but the QuickBooks Desktop file (B-34) left the CLASS field empty on every line, and neither B-34 nor the README said so, though B-34 rule 6 says nothing changes silently. Intuit's IIF Import Kit (vendored in docs/spec/sources/intuit-iif.md, the kit's SHA-256 unchanged): the `!CLASS` header help says "Only the NAME column is required" and a subclass's NAME is its parents' names first, joined by colons; the kit's "Import First - List Declarations" example declares `!CLASS` rows before any transaction, and its "2004 Deposit (Income)" example names the class line by line in CLASS. So the file now declares every class in a `!CLASS` list after the accounts and before `!TRNS`, and writes each line's class in CLASS (empty where the line has none). Books with no class write no list, byte for byte as before. A line whose class wasn't declared is refused (IifError::UndeclaredClass), never written classless. A class's NAME follows B-34's rules for an account's own name: plain ASCII (rule 3), a colon written '-' (it would start a subclass), trimmed, '?' if nothing is left, cut to 31 characters: Intuit's qbXML Onscreen Reference gives `ClassAdd`'s Name "maxDT" : 31 (and 31 in the Canadian, UK and Australian desktop editions; 100 only in Online), the same as its `AccountAdd` Name (both JSON files vendored by SHA-256); Conductor's QuickBooks Desktop API reference agrees and says the name is case-insensitive. Classes whose NAMEs would match ignoring case get " (id)", round after round, as accounts get " (code)", except that among names that match, those already written differently from the books (made safe, or tagged) yield first, a second " (id)" if need be: a class's own name is kept unless another class's own name is the same ignoring case (classes 1 "Café", 2 "Cafe", 3 "Cafe (1)" are written "Cafe (1) (1)", "Cafe", "Cafe (1)"). Each class is tagged twice at most and ids differ, so none is left alike (a hand-built list is refused). Each class name written differently is an IifChange (IifField::ClassName), said one line each in the warnings and in the package README, whose "written differently" paragraph now names class names' limits; its IIF line says CLASS is each line's project when there are classes. The MCP and viewer notes count "account or class name(s)". API: `iif_classes(ledger)` builds the list; `journal_to_iif` takes it (`&[]` for none). Docs: rules.md B-34 rule 8 with its sources; intuit-iif.md (the `!CLASS` help, the list declarations and deposit examples, Intuit's SDK department page, the qbXML Onscreen Reference's ClassAdd and AccountAdd and Conductor's class reference, each with SHA-256); mcp-interface.md (books.export iif, the package note); the bookspec example iif-quickbooks-journal-file.toml (two projects: one carried and renamed, one only declared; every line derived by hand); testing.md; STATUS (open point 1 done; point 3 waits for the close, the owner said). Tests: ledger-import `iif_writes_each_lines_class_and_declares_the_classes_first`, `iif_class_names_fit_quickbooks_and_every_change_is_listed`, `iif_class_names_written_as_the_books_have_them_are_kept`, `iif_refuses_an_undeclared_or_unfit_class`, property `iif_class_names_never_clash`; ledger-package `the_package_iif_carries_each_lines_project` and the bookspec example. Broken to confirm: CLASS written empty fails the two exact-file tests, the package test and the bookspec example; the " (id)" tag dropped fails the names test and the property; tagging every name that meets (no yielding) fails the kept-names test and the property (its shrunk case, "A-B" beside "A\uFF1AB", kept in the regressions file).

CPA handoff
- books.export_cpa_package carries every member's and 1099 payee's full TIN from the vault (the K-1 worksheet and the 1099 worksheet). It hands the zip over: run its download command with the folder the human wants it in (books served by
wanderbooks mcp), then tell them where it is. The viewer's "Export for CPA" makes the same package. - Never file the package, or a file from it, into the books.
- tin_gaps lists each member or payee whose TIN it lacks and why: collect them (books.set_tin, books.set_w9) and export again.
- Everything in it is as of its as_of: the 1099 worksheet counts the year's payments through that day, and general-journal.iif (the QuickBooks Desktop file) every posted entry from the first through it, closing entries left out. That file is plain ASCII within QuickBooks Desktop's limits: warnings (and the README) say what it writes differently from the books ("Café" as "Cafe", a name cut to 31 characters, a subaccount of another type at the top level, a project's name as its QuickBooks class, the memos grouped); tell the human. Each line's project is its CLASS, the projects declared first as QuickBooks classes. It names no customer or vendor: the README lists the entries on accounts receivable or payable, where QuickBooks may ask the CPA for one.
- With members, the K-1 worksheet is two files: k1-members.csv (each member's capital on the books, with their TIN) and k1-tax-basis-capital.csv (the same capital on the tax basis, as Schedule K-1 Item L reports it: property contributed at the member's adjusted basis, IRC §723, a prepaid contract handed over at its book amount for the CPA to confirm, and the reconciliation from book to tax capital). A line the books can't know (the share of income as figured for tax, always; tax depreciation; a disposal's tax gain; the basis of property no asset records) is left open with what the books have: tell the human the CPA supplies it; never fill it in.
