About how many hours of coding in that two weeks (versus, e.g., collecting and entering documentation like you'd have to do anyway if you used a third party service)?
Taxes for me (USA/Hawaii) take me about 8 working hours a year using an online service that is sometimes more annoying than helpful and which has politically advocated for keeping taxes complicated, so I'd love to replace them even if it didn't save me a few hundred bucks. But I'm not sure it's worth more than an extra ~8 hours of my time.
However, even if I don't go all they way in like you, you've inspired me to revamp some of my personal accounting to take advantage of AI. I've been just doing the same thing I did five and ten years ago without thinking about how new tools could make my process less cumbersome. Thanks!
