parse-1099 2.1.1

Parses 1099 tax document (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV) from PDF into CSV format and performs simple analysis

🍃 1099 Parser

Note: Dividend features are in beta. I haven't written tests yet. Use the --analysis-report flag to get more details about how decisions are made and double check my work.

This project converts standard 1099 tax documents (validated on Robinhood and Wealthfront documents so far) from PDF to CSV file. This tool will be helpful for those who need every transaction in a spreadsheet format for tax reporting purposes. After parsing the tax documents, it will perform some simple analysis on the holding period of securities which reported qualifying dividends.

  • the Windows 10 SDK
  • the latest version of MSVC v142 x64/x86 build tools.

Installing

$ python -m pip install wheel
$ python -m pip install --upgrade parse_1099

Note: If commands above fail, try replacing python with python3

Running

$ parse_1099
usage: parse_1099 [-h] --pdf FILE [--csv FILE] [--silent] [--validate] [--disable-dividend-analysis] [--analysis-report]

Example and Validation

Set the --validate flag to print out total values for some columns. Make sure these values match with the PDF!

$ parse_1099 --pdf consolidated_1099.pdf --validate
Pages: 100%|██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 40/40 [00:03<00:00, 10.41it/s]
>>> Calculated Totals:

🐞 Issues and Bugs

Development

Structure

This is the first python module I've worked on, so the structure may be a little goofy. I tried to structure the project into two parsers, one for 1099-B Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions and one for 1099-DIV Detail for Dividends and Distributions.

In each case, I designed for extensibility via versioning, in case the structure of the data or the presentation of the data on the PDF ever changes. Hypothetically the correct version of the subparser could be detected, but there's no sense writing that functionality until the scenario arises.

Building

The following will build the python wheel file into the dist folder. Note that python and pip can be exchanged with python3 and pip3 depending on your environment configuration.

$ python -m build

The following will update the installed module requiring a version bump.

$ pip install dist/parse_1099-X.Y.Z-...whl --force-reinstall --no-deps
