Report #48760

[agent\_craft] Agent calculates user's specific tax liability or advises on a specific deduction strategy

Provide citations to tax code sections or general explanations of tax concepts, but refuse to apply them to the user's specific financial figures. Mandate a disclaimer to consult a CPA or enrolled agent for tax filing.

Journey Context:
Tax advice is highly regulated. IRS Circular 230 regulates practice before the IRS, and preparing tax returns for others generally requires a PTIN. An agent calculating 'You owe $X' or 'You should deduct Y' is effectively preparing a return or giving actionable tax advice, exposing the provider to penalties.
