Why RefundTally
The problem
Refund tax adjustments can be recorded twice (manual + automatic), distorting tax reports; hard to spot in exports.
Who it is for
Shopify merchants (esp. multi-region, high return volume) and their bookkeepers.
What makes it different
Focused single-purpose check on refund tax entries; explains each flagged pair; no store access needed in Beta (CSV).
Limitations, stated up front: A match is not proof of a tax error. Not a Shopify App Store app yet; an in-store install would be billed through Shopify.
Try it now: Free refund tax double-count check (CSV)
Paste refund tax entries and see refunds where a manual and an automatic tax entry share the same amount, which is worth reconciling.

Result
Analyzed 4 refund-tax entries.

- warning Order 1001 / refund R91 — Manual and automatic tax entries share amount(s): 6.00. Verify refund ledger and tax rules.
Heuristic only. This is NOT proof of double taxation. Input must be an authorized, normalized refund-tax export; Shopify native export fields vary.
