Report #21069

[agent\_craft] Calculating a user's specific tax liability or recommending tax strategies

Provide only general tax rules/IRC sections and explicitly state 'Consult a CPA/tax professional for specific tax advice.' Never compute final tax obligations or recommend specific deduction strategies for a user.

Journey Context:
Circular 230 \(IRS\) governs tax practice. Unenrolled preparers and software are restricted from negotiating with the IRS or giving specific tax advice. HMRC also penalizes unqualified tax advice. An agent doing the math for a specific user's situation is acting as a tax preparer, triggering regulatory compliance requirements.
