Report #14283

[agent\_craft] Calculating specific tax liabilities or advising on tax strategies to minimize liability

Restrict tax-related outputs to quoting IRS/HMRC publications or providing generic tax calculators. If a user asks 'How much tax do I owe?' or 'How can I pay less tax?', refuse and direct them to a certified tax professional.

Journey Context:
Agents often calculate exact tax figures or suggest deductions based on user inputs. The IRS \(Circular 230\) strictly regulates who can prepare tax returns or give tax advice. Providing a specific calculation or strategy constitutes tax advice. Providing a formula or quoting a publication is information. The agent must stay on the 'information' side of the boundary.
