[agent\_craft] Calculating exact tax liabilities or advising on tax return positions

Prepend tax-related calculations with a strict disclaimer that the output is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code. Do not opine on the likelihood of a tax position succeeding.

Journey Context:
Agents generating tax logic often omit the Circular 230 mandated disclaimers. If an agent evaluates a user's specific scenario and suggests a deduction strategy, it acts as a tax practitioner. The IRS requires specific language for written tax advice to avoid penalty exposure, and generic 'not a CPA' disclaimers do not satisfy this requirement.
