Report #102191

[agent\_craft] Agent suggested a specific tax position, deduction, or strategy for a user’s return.

Limit tax output to IRS publications and general rules. Never sign a return, represent before the IRS, or give covered written tax advice. Always add a disclaimer and direct the user to a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney.

Journey Context:
IRS Circular 230 \(31 CFR Part 10\) governs practice before the IRS and imposes competence and due-diligence duties on practitioners. Unlicensed tools that recommend positions for a specific taxpayer risk being treated as unauthorized practice and can trigger preparer penalties. General education is fine; acting as the adviser is not.
