Categories and tax-form lines
Each Ai Book Sort category with its suggested line on Canada's T2125 form, its GIFI code (Canadian corporations), and its line on the US Schedule C and Form 1120. These are suggestions to save your accountant time, not tax advice.

Mapping prepared by the Ai Book Sort team from the CRA's T2125 form and GIFI codes and the IRS Instructions for Schedule C and Form 1120. Not reviewed by a CPA. Last reviewed October 2026. A cell marked check could not be confirmed on an official page; ask your accountant. S corporations (Form 1120-S) and partnerships (Form 1065) are not mapped yet; your export works the same and your accountant assigns the lines. Transfers, owner money and loans have no tax line: they are not income or expenses.
