How to Parse

1. Read the file using the Read tool
   • If it's a PDF: Read tool handles PDFs — extract text and look for labeled fields
   • If it's an image (JPG/PNG): Read tool handles images — read the visual content
   • If it's a text/JSON file: parse directly
2. Identify the document type (W2, 1099-B, etc.) from the content
3. Extract all applicable fields listed above
4. Show the extracted data to the user and ask them to confirm or correct
5. Save to data/tax-profile.json

Data Merge

• Read existing data/tax-profile.json if it exists (create with default structure if not)
• W2s: Add to income.w2s[]. If same employer EIN exists, ask to replace.
• 1099s: Add to income.otherIncome[]. If same source+type exists, ask to replace.
• Write back the updated file

Output

After import, display a clean summary appropriate to the document type:

[Document Type] Imported:
  Source: [name] (EIN/TIN: XX-XXXXXXX)
  [Key fields with values]
  Federal Tax Withheld: $X,XXX.XX

If domain triggers were detected, mention them.

Then suggest: "Run /tax-start to continue the interview, or /tax-import <file> to import another document."
