Actual Python Code:

import smtplib

from email.mime.text import MIMEText

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

class TaxReminder:

    def __init__(self, email, deadline_dates):

        self.email = email

        self.deadline_dates = [datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d") for date in deadline_dates]

    def send_email(self, subject, body):

        msg = MIMEText(body)

        msg['Subject'] = subject

        msg['From'] = 'noreply@company.com'

        msg['To'] = self.email

        

        with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) as server:

            server.starttls()

            server.login('your_email@example.com', 'your_password')

            server.sendmail('noreply@company.com', self.email, msg.as_string())

    def check_reminders(self):

        today = datetime.today()

        for deadline in self.deadline_dates:

            days_left = (deadline - today).days

            if days_left <= 7 and days_left >= 0:

                self.send_email(f"Tax Filing Reminder: {deadline.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}",

                                 f"Your tax filing deadline is approaching on {deadline.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}! You have {days_left} days left.")

                print(f"Reminder sent for deadline {deadline.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}")

                

# Example usage

tax_dates = ["2025-04-15", "2025-06-30"]

tax_reminder = TaxReminder("user@example.com", tax_dates)

tax_reminder.check_reminders()
