## Compliance Check Workflow

## Tool Routing

- Primary system: `estate-planning` for entities, critical dates, ownership paths, and linked legal docs.
- Tax planning overlays: `household-tax` for estimated payments, scenario analysis, and filing-readiness views.
- Finance facts: `finance-graph` only when underlying valuation/statement context is required to explain a compliance risk.
- Regulatory context: `us-legal.search_court_opinions` and `us-legal.get_recent_court_opinions` for case law relevant to compliance obligations; `us-legal.search_federal_register` for pending regulatory changes affecting entity filing requirements.
- Do not treat `finance-graph` analytics as a substitute for household-tax scenario outputs.

### Step 1: List Active Entities

`list_entities(status='active')` — all entities requiring compliance attention.

### Step 2: Check Critical Dates

`get_upcoming_dates(days=90)` — filter for `tax_filing`, `registration_renewal` types.
Flag any overdue (due_date < today, completed = false).

### Step 3: Per-Entity Audit

For each active entity, verify:
1. **Annual filing**: Is the tax return filed or on extension?
2. **K-1s distributed**: (For pass-through entities) Are K-1s sent to all owners?
3. **State filings**: Annual report filed? Franchise tax paid?
4. **Registered agent**: Current and renewed?
5. **Documents**: Is the operating agreement / trust document linked in estate-planning?

### Step 4: Output

```
## Compliance Status — [Date]

### Overdue
| Entity | Filing | Due Date | Days Overdue |
|--------|--------|----------|-------------|

### Upcoming (Next 90 Days)
| Entity | Filing | Due Date | Days Until | Status |
|--------|--------|----------|-----------|--------|

### K-1 Distribution Status
| Entity | K-1 Recipients | Distributed? | Date |
|--------|---------------|-------------|------|

### Registration Status
| Entity | State | Agent | Renewal Due |
|--------|-------|-------|-------------|

### Gaps
[Entities missing critical dates entries, documents, or agent info]
```

Always append:
- **Provenance**: which MCPs were used (`estate-planning`, `household-tax`, optional `finance-graph`)
- **Confidence notes**: missing data fields that could change the recommendation

## K-1 Tracking

For each pass-through entity (LLC, S-Corp, Irrevocable Trust):
1. Identify all owners from ownership_paths
2. Each owner receives a K-1 showing their share of income/loss
3. Track: K-1 prepared → K-1 sent → K-1 filed with owner's return
4. Deadline: K-1s must be sent by Mar 15 (US) to owners
