How it works

1Upload W-4 formsDrop in PDFs, photos, scans of W-4 forms, or a whole zip. Each page is read individually; instruction and worksheet pages are skipped automatically.
2Intelligent extractionA vision model reads every page and pulls employee info, filing status, withholding elections, and signature. Unreadable values are flagged rather than guessed.
3Download structured dataOne workbook with a W-4 Forms sheet, plus a CSV and a JSON export - each row cites its source file and page and includes a confidence note.
