Haystack components for structured KV extraction from financial PDFs via Azure Document Intelligence

haystack-financial-doc-extractor

Copyright 2026 Ambreen Zaver, Callisto Tech. Licensed under Apache 2.0.

Haystack components for structured key-value extraction from financial documents — IRS Form 1040, W-2, Schedule C/E, K-1 (1065) — via Azure Document Intelligence.

Designed for use cases where extracted values must be compared deterministically against an authoritative reference system (e.g. a financial aid platform, tax reconciliation engine, or audit workflow). All parsing, normalization, and delta computation is done in Python with no LLM involvement.

---

Why this package

Standard Haystack document loaders treat a PDF as a blob of text. Financial forms are structured: every field has a known label, a line reference, and a numeric value that must round-trip to Decimal without loss. This package handles:

• 4-stage Azure DI recovery chain — full doc → page splitter → DPI reduction → rotation block
• Financial string normalization — $75,000, (12,500), 75000 USD, N/A, 12.5%
• Non-negative field protection — W-2 box values printed in parens are positive, not negative
• Delta + severity scoring — HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW against a reference value dict
• MD5-based cache invalidation — skip Azure DI if the document hasn't changed
• FERPA-safe by design — no PII in logs, opaque document IDs, no student data persisted in plaintext

---

Install

pip install haystack-financial-doc-extractor

Requires Python 3.10+.

Quick start

from haystack_financial_doc_extractor import build_pipeline

pipeline = build_pipeline(
    azure_endpoint="https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/",
    azure_api_key="...",
    field_map={"adjusted gross income": "agi", "wages salaries tips": "wages"},
    section="HHA_INCOME",
    source_doc_type="IRS Form 1040",
)

with open("samples/f1040_filled.pdf", "rb") as f:
    pdf_bytes = f.read()

result = pipeline.run({
    "ingest": {
        "bytes_list": [pdf_bytes],
        "document_ids": ["doc-001"],
        "source_names": ["f1040_filled.pdf"],
    },
    "delta": {
        "reference_values": {"agi": 75000, "wages": 68000},
    },
})

for field in result["delta"]["fields"]:
    print(f"{field.field_name:<30} extracted={field.extracted_value}  delta={field.delta}  severity={field.severity}")

Persistence (optional)

SQLite store with MD5-based cache invalidation — skips Azure DI on re-runs if the document content hasn't changed:

from haystack_financial_doc_extractor import SqliteExtractionStore

store = SqliteExtractionStore("extractions.db")

if store.is_cached("doc-001", pdf_bytes):
    fields = store.load_cached("doc-001", pdf_bytes)
else:
    result = pipeline.run(...)
    fields = result["delta"]["fields"]
    stage = result["extractor"]["extractions"][0]["stage_used"]
    store.save("doc-001", "f1040_filled.pdf", pdf_bytes, stage, fields)

Extracted values are stored as strings and parsed back to Decimal on load. No raw PII fields (names, SSNs) are stored — only canonical field names and numeric values.

Sections

from haystack_financial_doc_extractor import SectionKey

SectionKey.HHA_INCOME   # Household A income documents
SectionKey.HHB_INCOME   # Household B income documents
SectionKey.STUDENT      # Student income and assets
SectionKey.ASSETS       # Asset documentation
SectionKey.HOUSEHOLD    # Household composition
SectionKey.EXPENSES     # Expense documentation

FERPA compliance

This package is designed for deployment in environments that process student financial aid records subject to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act).

What this package does

• No PII in logs. The logger emits field names and numeric values only. Raw document content (which may contain names and SSNs) is never logged.
• Opaque document IDs. The document_id passed to components is an opaque caller-supplied string. The package does not inspect, store, or log it in a way that exposes student identity.
• No cross-document state. Each pipeline.run() call is stateless. No data from one document is accessible during processing of another.
• Numeric-only persistence. SqliteExtractionStore persists canonical field names and Decimal values only — not raw document text, not names, not SSNs, not addresses.
• Cache keyed by content hash. Cache lookup uses MD5(pdf_bytes) — the hash is a one-way function and reveals nothing about document content.

Sample data

All files in samples/ were generated by samples/generate_samples.py using entirely fictional data:

• Names: James Harrington (fictional)
• SSNs: XXX-XX-1234 (masked — not a real SSN format)
• EINs: 12-3456789, 98-7654321 (fictional)
• Addresses: 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield IL (fictional)
• Dollar amounts: representative but invented

No real taxpayer data was used. Do not commit real tax documents to this repository.

Deployer responsibilities

FERPA compliance of the overall system depends on how you deploy this package:

Concern	Your responsibility
Azure DI data retention	Disable Azure DI input/output logging in your Azure resource
Network boundary	Deploy behind VPN or private endpoint — never expose extraction endpoints publicly
Auth	Protect the endpoints that accept PDF bytes with Bearer JWT or equivalent
SQLite file	Restrict filesystem permissions on extractions.db — treat it as sensitive
Blob storage	If storing PDFs in Azure Blob, enable encryption at rest and restrict access
