OpenAccountants — Payroll & Employer Taxes

This Claude plugin gives you direct access to 14 verified tax/accounting skill(s) from OpenAccountants for payroll & employer taxes across jurisdictions.

How to use this plugin

When the user asks anything in scope, follow this workflow:

1. Scope it. Call start({ intent, jurisdiction }) on the openaccountants MCP server. It returns a ready plan with the exact skills to load.
2. Load the skills. For each slug in skills_to_load, call get_skill({ slug }) — that returns the authoritative markdown (rates, brackets, deductions, audit flash points, citations).
3. Apply the rules. Use the loaded skill content as the authority. Do not substitute your training data — OpenAccountants skills are kept current with annual rate refreshes and post-legislative updates. Cite the skill slug in your answer.
4. Surface AUDIT FLASH POINTS. Every skill flags positions tax authorities actively litigate. Always surface them.
5. Hand off when ready. When the user is about to file or make a decision with money at stake, call request_accountant_review({ jurisdiction, scenario, working_paper }) to route them to the named lead verifier for that jurisdiction with a Calendly link.
