How it works

1Upload W-2 formsDrop in PDFs, photos, scans of W-2s, or a whole zip. Each page is read individually, and every distinct W-2 on a page becomes its own row.
2Intelligent extractionA vision model reads every page and pulls the employer info, employee details, SSN, all wage and tax boxes, and state/local amounts. Unreadable values are flagged rather than guessed.
3Download structured dataOne workbook with W-2, Box 12, Box 14, and State Local sheets, plus CSVs and a JSON export - each row cites its source file and page and includes a confidence note.
