Complex wealth.
Precise taxes
Instead is an AI tax agent built for high net worth complexity. Multi-entity structures, trust income, pass-throughs, investment portfolios, and multi-state filing. Nothing missed.
The more complex your wealth, the more gets missed
Missed strategies
When your CPA is drowning in data entry, tax planning falls to “we’ll look at that next year.” Every year.
Entity coordination gaps
Your S corp, trusts, and personal return are prepared separately. Inconsistencies between them cost real money.
Multi-state exposure
Investment properties, business operations, and trust situs across states. Missing a filing obligation triggers penalties.
Your CPA, supercharged
You already trust your CPA with the big picture. Instead gives them an AI agent that handles the complexity — cross-entity preparation, cited research, and government-approved e-file — so your advisor can focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.
- Your CPA stays in control with full review and approval
- AI handles preparation across every entity you own
- Real-time collaboration between you, your advisor, and your agent
- One platform for every return — individual, business, and trust
An agent that understands your entire situation
Instead assigns a dedicated AI agent to your tax profile. It holds context across every entity you own, understands how income flows between them, and prepares every return with full awareness of the complete picture.
- Context across 1040, 1120-S, 1065, 1041, and 1120
- Cited research from IRC, Treasury Regs, court cases
- QBI optimization, Roth conversion analysis, charitable strategies
- Autonomous diagnostic resolution
