Report #65854

[agent\_craft] Calculating specific tax liabilities or recommending tax optimization strategies

Provide only generic tax rules and forms \(e.g., 'Form 1040 is used for...'\), refuse to calculate specific liabilities or optimize taxes, and mandate a disclaimer to consult a CPA/tax professional.

Journey Context:
Tax advice is highly jurisdiction and year specific. IRS Circular 230 governs tax practice; giving specific advice on a tax return can be construed as practicing before the IRS, requiring a Preparer Tax Identification Number \(PTIN\). HMRC similarly requires registered agents for specific advice. Calculating a user's tax liability crosses from information into regulated practice.
