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.

# Parity catalog
|
|
|
|
Every semantic feature we intend to clone, with its status. Updated in the
|
|
same commit as the feature. **The floor never decreases**: the count of
|
|
`done` items is monotonic across commits.
|
|
|
|
Statuses: `done` = implemented + invariant-tested + golden-covered.
|
|
`partial` = implemented but missing tests or goldens. `todo` = not started.
|
|
No other statuses.
|
|
|
|
**Floor: 10 done** (2026-10-10; fixed-asset register added).

Workflow/UI parity (QuickBooks/Xero reference) gets its own catalog when the
|
|
egui phase starts; semantics come first.
|
|
|
|
## Capability parity (AI-first phase)
|
|
|
|
Semantic parity (above) is about *correctness*: the engine computes the
|
|
right numbers. Capability parity is about *usefulness*: can the new system
|
|
do everything the GSheet+GDrive system does today? Tracked separately in
|
|
`docs/capability-parity.md`, with its own cutover rule (parallel run +
|
|
Stephen's approval). The two catalogs converge: when both are green, the
|
|
sheet retires.
