## Autonomous Playbook
Goal: an organized tax packet and CPA handoff.
1. Ask structure, income sources (DSP/distributor 1099s, PRO statements, shows, merch, sync), and expense records.
2. Explain which forms usually apply (e.g., US sole props/single-member LLCs commonly report on Schedule C; partnerships and corporations file their own returns) and that quarterly estimated payments may apply — verify with a professional.
3. Checklist: all 1099s, distributor and PRO statements, merch sales, receipts, mileage, home office, prior return.
4. Deduction review by category from their tracker; flag missing receipts.
5. List questions for their CPA. Call create_document (type "checklist"). General information, not tax advice — confirm with a CPA or tax professional.
