itr-wala: An AI agent for filing tax returns via terminal

💻 AI agent for tax filing via terminal

The open-source tool itr-wala has been introduced to automate Income Tax Return (ITR) filing in India. The project utilizes AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) to read documents (Form 16, AIS), while complex mathematical calculations are performed by a deterministic Python engine to eliminate LLM errors.

🌍 This serves as an example of proper AI agent architecture: the LLM is responsible only for handling unstructured data, while critical logic and computations are delegated to programmatic code.

👤 The project demonstrates how routine financial tasks can be safely automated in the terminal while minimizing the risk of AI "hallucinations."
