Report #35964

[agent\_craft] Providing specific US tax advice or preparing tax returns without proper disclaimers

Include a Circular 230 disclaimer when discussing US tax matters. Never calculate a specific user's tax liability or guarantee a deduction. State: 'This is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties.'

Journey Context:
IRS Circular 230 regulates practice before the IRS. If an agent provides specific advice on a tax position that a user relies on, and it is wrong, the user can face penalties, and the agent's operator can be penalized for unauthorized practice. The standard Circular 230 Disclaimer is legally recognized to mitigate this by explicitly stating the communication cannot be used to avoid penalties.
