--- title: "One job, every side" url: https://services.dev/docs/examples/tax/walk captured: [tax-sides.txt, tax-years.txt] --- # One job, every side URL: https://services.dev/docs/examples/tax/walk > One annual return, from the year the Tax Plan ran, as each participant saw it. The plan orders it, the company's officer answers through her own links, an enrolled agent signs for the brand's firm in her own session, and the owner reads the record. *tax's words: return is a job, taxpayer is a subject, review is a task, preparer is a member (examples/tax/brand.ts).* One return, one recording, four seats. It's the 2026 return from [the `tick 1y` walk](https://services.dev/docs/examples/tax/years.md): the plan ordered it on 1 February 2027, and it was accepted in July. Each call below was made by the participant it names, with their own credential. ## Its year Every line the walk fired for this return. The books came late, so three days out the rung deposited the tax and filed each state's extension. In July it was filed with $0 due; New York rejected it once, and the repair kept its first filing time: ```bash npx services.dev tick 1y --test-clock tc_7Hq4 --market normal ``` ```txt title="magic values: owner.email = signs@example.test, metadata.sandbox.asks = {"organizer.books":"after 160d","organizer.assets":"waive","organizer #2":"after 2d","w9":"after 19d"}, metadata.sandbox.outside = {"reject":{"file.US-NY":["ein_mismatch"]}}, metadata.sandbox.events = { notice.received: { at: 2027-11-14T15:00:00Z, data: { notice, reply_by, tax_years } } }" 2027-02-01 14:00:00 sbn_7Hq2 schedule annual → job_4Tx3 annual-return · period 2026 · $0.00 · allowance 1 of 1 2027-02-01 14:00:00 job_4Tx3 ask consent · signs@example.test · §7216 consented as officer · use: prepare · disclose: none 2027-02-01 14:00:00 job_4Tx3 ask organizer · signs@example.test · 8 items from 2025 (job_4Tx2) · 6 answered · 1 waived · 1 open (books) 2027-02-01 14:00:00 job_4Tx3 waits on party at organizer 2027-03-16 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock file · rung notice 30d · due 2027-04-15 · US, US-CA, US-NY · owner of_record 2027-04-01 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock pay · rung notice 14d · due 2027-04-15 · owner buyer · about $324 a month if it's late 2027-04-09 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock file · rung ack daily 7d · acknowledged, simulated · the acknowledgement due 7 days out 2027-04-10 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock file · rung ack daily 7d · acknowledged, simulated · the acknowledgement due 6 days out 2027-04-11 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock file · rung ack daily 7d · acknowledged, simulated · the acknowledgement due 5 days out 2027-04-12 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock file · rung run tentative 3d → tentative proposed · committed 2027-04-12 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 tentative · the year as the ledger stands · US $73,710 · US-CA $6,205 · US-NY $7,605, and 2027's first installment $1,901 · US-NJ $6,318 2027-04-12 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock file · rung ack daily 7d · acknowledged, simulated · the acknowledgement due 4 days out 2027-04-12 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock pay · rung escalate 3d · due 2027-04-15 · owner buyer 2027-04-12 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 pay · Treasury and states · 4 accepted, US first · rcp_7HqB · $95,739.00 deposited 2027-04-12 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 clock pay · satisfied · pay committed 2027-04-12 13:00:00 job_4Tx3 extend · US Form 7004 accepted → US-CA automatic, no filing;
