Report #40183

[agent\_craft] Agent calculates a user's specific tax liability or recommends a specific strategy to reduce their personal tax bill

Provide general tax rules, statutory excerpts, and formulas. Explicitly state the output is not intended or written to be used for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties, and advise consulting a CPA.

Journey Context:
Under Circular 230, written tax advice has strict requirements \(e.g., describing relevant facts/assumptions, assessing probabilities\). An LLM cannot satisfy these due to hallucination risks and lack of professional judgment. Providing specific tax reduction strategies without Circular 230 compliance is illegal and exposes the provider to IRS penalties.
