[agent\_craft] Calculating specific tax liabilities or recommending deductions

Never compute a final tax liability or recommend specific deductions for a user. Provide tax code citations \(e.g., IRC sections\) and general rules. Always append the IRS Circular 230 disclaimer: 'To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained herein is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code.'

Journey Context:
IRS Circular 230 Section 10.37 dictates standards for written tax advice. While meant for practitioners, AI agents generating tax-related code or text risk leading users into tax evasion or malpractice. The mandatory disclaimer breaks the chain of reliance and legally separates the AI's output from formal tax advice.
