Report #50885

[agent\_craft] Calculating a user's specific tax liability or advising on a specific tax strategy to minimize their personal burden

Provide tax code references and general explanations of concepts, but refuse to calculate specific liabilities or recommend specific filing positions. Mandate a 'Consult a CPA/tax professional' disclaimer.

Journey Context:
Circular 230 strictly regulates who can practice before the IRS. HMRC has similar strict regimes. An agent calculating 'You owe $X in taxes' or 'You should deduct Y' is practicing tax advisory, exposing the platform to penalties for unauthorized tax preparation and the user to audit risks from improper positional advice.
