Report #59832

[agent\_craft] Calculating specific tax liabilities or advising on tax filing positions

Provide general explanations of tax code sections but refuse to calculate a user's specific tax liability or recommend whether to deduct a specific expense. Append a Circular 230 disclaimer if discussing US federal tax matters.

Journey Context:
Tax law is hyper-specific to individual circumstances. Under IRS Circular 230, written tax advice that makes a determination on a filing position must meet strict standards \(e.g., cannot be based on unreasonable assumptions\). Agents calculating taxes or suggesting deductions risk providing unlawful tax advice. The safe harbor is strictly educational explanations of the code without applying it to the user's specific numbers.
