International filing, computed — not guessed.

Lodestar Tax Tech builds focused software for CPA firms and tax law firms doing US international tax.

US international filing is high-stakes and unforgiving — the wrong call on a Form 5471 category, or a missed FBAR, carries real penalties. But the hardest part isn’t the forms. It’s the reasoning: why this entity needs that filing. Today that reasoning usually lives in scattered emails, a partner’s working file, or someone’s head — and it walks out the door when they do.

We think compliance triage should be computed from the facts, traced to authority, and preserved in one place you can hand a new manager — or an examiner — two years later. That is what PILOT does: it reads the structure, works the Code, and produces an audit-ready answer with the citations behind it.

What we believe

Principles the product is built on.

Computed, not guessed

Filing determinations come from rules over your fact sheet — traceable to code, not an AI hunch.

Documented for years, not days

The what, how, and why live in one retrievable record — built to answer questions long after the engagement closes.

Plain English

Specialist-grade international analysis, written so any CPA — or the client — can read it and act.

Private by default

Client data is isolated to your firm and never used to train AI.
