vas3k releases TaxHacker, a self-hosted AI accounting tool anyone can run on their own computer

vas3k (a software developer) published TaxHacker as open-source code on GitHub—meaning anyone can download and install it for free instead of paying for cloud-based accounting software or hiring an accountant.

Unlike cloud accounting apps (QuickBooks, FreshBooks) that store your financial data on company servers, TaxHacker runs entirely on your own computer, so your tax records never leave your machine—appealing to freelancers and small business owners worried about privacy or data breaches.

Self-employed people, contractors, and small business owners can now use AI to categorize expenses and generate tax reports without paying monthly subscription fees ($15–$50/month on typical platforms) or sharing financial details with third-party services.
