The Scrubber download - scrub your files here

1. What to remove

Account, card and routing numbers, anything remotely resembling a Social Security number, street addresses, city and ZIP lines, email addresses and phone numbers are removed automatically; the last four digits of each account are kept so you can still tell accounts apart. Names are the one thing it cannot spot on its own, because a name looks like any other word, so type yours below. Nothing you type here leaves this page.

Names to removeYours, your spouse's, your business's. Separate with commas.

Address, if the automatic pass misses itOnly needed if you spot it in the scrubbed file. Separate with commas.

Anything elseMember numbers, usernames, an email address. Separate with commas.

2. Add your files

Drop CSV, TXT or PDF files here, or click to choose them. Add as many as you like.

"Changes made" counts how many replacements the page made in each file. It is not a safety check: click View and read every file before you attach it. If you change the boxes above, every file is scrubbed again with the new words.

Scrubbed files are named with "scrubbed" added. Keep the originals somewhere safe; attach only the scrubbed ones.

What The Scrubber does and does not do

Any run of seven or more digits, with or without spaces or dashes, becomes four stars and its last four digits. That catches account numbers, card numbers, routing numbers and most reference numbers. Dates and amounts are shorter, so they are left alone.
Anything remotely resembling a Social Security number (three digits, two digits, four digits, with dashes, spaces or dots between them) is replaced with the words "SSN removed." A bare nine-digit number is caught by the rule above and shows only its last four. Street addresses, city and ZIP lines, PO boxes, email addresses and phone numbers are removed whole.
Street addresses, city and ZIP lines, PO boxes, email addresses and phone numbers are removed.
In a CSV, any column whose heading says account, card, routing, member, customer, IBAN, number or ID is masked whole, whatever its length.
For a PDF statement, the page reads the text, scrubs it the same way, and gives you back a text file of the whole statement plus a CSV of the transaction rows it could recognize. The statement's balance and total lines are kept, so the AI agent can check that no rows were missed.
A scanned statement, a photo of paper, has no text to read. The page will tell you, and you can ask your bank for the digital version.
Transaction descriptions, dates, amounts and balances are left as they are. They are what the AI agent sorts by, so the scrubbed file still shows what you spent and earned. If a description contains a name you want gone, add it to the names box.
The Scrubber takes out the details that identify you and your accounts. It does not hide your finances: what you spent, what you earned and where stay in the file, along with the last four digits of each account, because that is what the AI agent needs. Attach the scrubbed files only to an AI agent you are comfortable sharing that with.
It works by matching patterns, like every scrubber. Click "View" on each result and read it over before you attach it. Anything it missed, add to the boxes and every file is scrubbed again.
The scrubbed files are for your own AI agent, which does the sorting. The only thing you put on the tax estimate page is the totals spreadsheet the AI agent gives you back, and that page reads it in your browser; we never receive it.

Next: open your AI agent, attach the scrubbed files together with the instructions file from ssprogram.business/what-the-irs-doesnt-get, and let the AI agent do the sorting. Then drop the spreadsheet it gives you onto the tax estimate page; the page reads it in your browser and fills in the calculator.

The only place to get this file is ssprogram.business/the-scrubber. If it reached you any other way, don't open it; download a fresh copy from there.
