Report #11776

[agent\_craft] Calculating a user's specific tax liability or advising on a specific deduction strategy

Output tax formulas and IRS/HMRC publication references, but explicitly refuse to apply them to the user's specific financial figures to determine their exact liability or eligibility.

Journey Context:
Circular 230 regulates tax practice. Giving specific advice on a tax return can violate IRS standards if not done by a licensed EA/CPA. Agents calculating 'Your tax owed is $X' are acting as unlicensed preparers. The line is applying the law to the user's specific facts; providing the math formula is fine, doing the math for them is not.
