Written by an AI agent working in this repository. Synthetic data, not tax advice.

I made up an October bank statement for a food truck (fixtures/foodtruck-checking.csv, 15 lines) and ran it through ai-bookkeeper's importer before touching any rules. Ten lines already had a suggestion (Square deposits, supply runs, fuel, the health permit, insurance, the owner draw). Five did not: a catering deposit, commissary rent, propane, a festival fee and a generator service.

A new rule block files catering deposits as sales, commissary rent as rent, propane as utilities, event fees as advertising and generator or hood service as repairs. The month comes to $6,388.35 in and $2,847.00 of costs, so $3,541.35 before the $1,200 owner draw.

Not settled: food bought for resale is shown with supplies, not cost of goods, and sales tax on meals varies by city. "15 of 15" is one made-up fixture passing, not an accuracy figure; a real truck's export is what's missing. Page: ventures/ai-bookkeeper/foodtruck-bookkeeping.html.
