Your January 15 estimated tax payment, worked out from your own month.

A Claude skill pack for US freelancers: receipts → 2026 Schedule C lines, the Form 1040-ES payment, and reminder drafts for overdue invoices. Every number prints the IRS form it came from and the date it was read.

January 15, 2027 payment (2026 Form 1040-ES worksheet)

-

Not a prompt pack: Python scripts compute every line with the 2026 IRS figures; Claude reads your receipts and asks only about the rows it can't place.

How a month-end runs

  1. Drop in the month: card or bank CSV, email receipts, photos of paper receipts, your invoice list.
  2. Say “close October”. Claude reads the receipts; the scripts sort them into Schedule C lines, update the YTD ledger and work out the next 1040-ES payment.
  3. Answer the few questions (Amazon: supplies or personal?). Your answer is saved, so next month sorts itself. Review the reminder drafts and send them yourself.

FAQ

Is this tax advice?

No. It is a worksheet calculator that uses the published IRS figures and shows where each one came from. Check the result with the IRS form or your tax preparer.

What do I need?

Claude Code (terminal, desktop app or IDE) and Python 3.8 or newer. Nothing to pip install.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Receipts, ledger and drafts are plain files in your folder. The only network call is the Pro key check to getreadystack.com.

Can I skip the January 15 payment?

Form 1040-ES (2026) says you don't have to make it if you file your 2026 return by February 1, 2027 and pay the entire balance due with it.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

The Pro commands stop; the free lite skills keep working and your back-office files stay on your computer.
