OK Tax review
A low-cost, local workflow for technical filers preparing federal returns.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OK Tax is a local-first AI tax preparation workflow for technical DIY filers who want to run tax work in their own environment. It provides downloadable source code, agent instructions, tax logic, blank IRS forms, OCR and PDF processing through an API backend, and draft federal forms and schedules. Its personal-focused workflow covers W-2 income, interest, dividends, brokerage activity, crypto, freelance Schedule C income, basic rental real estate, and selected Form 1040-NR cases.
Pricing is straightforward. The Starter plan costs $10 as a one-time payment and includes the full source code, agent instructions, and 100 pages on the PDF OCR service. It is aimed at combinations involving W-2 income, brokerage activity, crypto, and freelance work. Unlimited costs $20 one time and raises the included OCR allowance to up to 2,000 pages, with a focus on active traders, crypto-heavy portfolios, and bulk statements. Both plans retain the local workflow and source-code approach, while Unlimited is the more suitable option for document-heavy returns.
The product's standout feature is the combination of local execution, terminal-agent instructions, document OCR, tax logic, and review checkpoints before filing. Users can import tax documents, generate draft forms and supporting artifacts, and inspect the results rather than treating the output as a filing service. That makes OK Tax a fit for technically comfortable filers who want control over the workflow and have federal-only needs. It is less suitable for people seeking guided consumer software, state returns, or a provider that submits returns on their behalf.
