Reads Form 106, detects refund triggers (mid-year job change, unemployment, maternity leave, military reserve duty, Section 46 donations, yishuv mezakeh, undeclared credit points, disability, alimony, early keren hishtalmut withdrawal), estimates the refund using 2026 brackets and the 242 ₪/month credit-point value, generates a per-trigger document checklist, and fills Form 135 or routes the user to the online refund portal.

Hundreds of thousands of salaried Israelis overpay income tax every year and never claim the refund. Mid-year job changes, unemployment, maternity leave, reserve duty, donations, residence in a yishuv mezakeh, and missed credit points all create a gap between what was withheld and what was actually owed. This skill detects refund triggers from Form 106, estimates the refund using 2026 brackets and the 242 ₪ credit-point value, generates a per-trigger document checklist, and produces a filled Form 135 or guides the user through the online refund portal.
