For tax and accounting firms
Blindfold turns a client's return into a clean copy your team can bring to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot. Names, SSNs, addresses and account numbers come out. Every amount, line and form stays exactly where it was.
Why firms use it
Claude and ChatGPT can already do real tax work. The question every client will eventually ask is how their return got there. Blindfold gives you an answer you're proud to give.
Before any AI tool sees a return, names, SSNs, addresses and account numbers are removed on your own computers, reviewed by a preparer, and logged. That's a security practice you can describe to a client, put in your engagement letter, and show in your written information security plan.
When identities stay in the office, the AI can see the full return with every number intact. Your team can hand it the second-look review, the client letter, the year-over-year comparison and the notice draft, then spend their own time on the judgment calls.
Each return your team finishes faster is time for the next client, the advisory conversation, or an evening at home in March. Run your own numbers below.

How it works
The review step is built in, so nothing leaves the office unchecked.
Drop in a PDF, a scan or a phone photo. Text PDFs read instantly; scans and photos are read with OCR on your computer.
See the original and the clean copy together. Tap any word to remove it, tap any token to restore it. Possible names and leftover ID numbers are highlighted for you.
Confirm the review, copy the clean version into your AI tool, and the release is recorded in your firm's audit log.
Features
Pattern matching alone misses too much on tax documents. Blindfold reads form labels, so it knows box e on a W-2 is a name and box 1 is wages.
Each item becomes a consistent token, so [PERSON_1] means the same person everywhere in the return.
The AI gets a return it can actually reason about.
Where your data goes
Blindfold does its work inside the browser. Our servers handle sign-in, billing and the audit log, and never receive return contents.
What teams do with it
Review this return for missed deductions or credits, and list the line numbers involved.
Explain this return to the client in plain language. Refer to them as [PERSON_1].
Compare these two years and flag any line that moved more than 15%.
Draft a response to this CP2000 using the figures on the attached return.
Pricing
Every seat gets every feature. Add or remove preparers any time; billing adjusts automatically.
Less than one billable hour per preparer each month.
Questions
No. Reading, OCR and anonymizing all happen in the browser. Only the clean copy leaves, when the preparer pastes it into an AI tool. The audit log records counts and a reference code, never return contents.
Any of them. The clean copy is plain text with a short note explaining the tokens, so Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Gemini can all work with it.
It's a strong first pass with a required human review. Blindfold flags anything that still looks like an ID or a name, and preparers confirm the review before they can copy. Free-text notes deserve a careful read.
Good on clear scans and well-lit photos. OCR can misread digits, so preparers should compare amounts with the original in the side-by-side view before relying on them.
It stays with you. Lock it with a passphrase and save it in the client's file. When the AI's answer comes back, paste the answer and the locked key into Blindfold to restore real names on your computer.

Annual plans are billed once a year at ten times the monthly price: $500 for the first preparer and $350 for each additional preparer. That's two months free. Preparers added during the year are prorated to your renewal date.
Yes, any time from your billing page. Seats added mid-month are prorated, and removed seats stop at the next billing date.
