Report #7293

[agent\_craft] Calculating specific tax liabilities or recommending strategies to minimize a user's tax burden

Provide only general tax rules and forms. When asked 'How much tax do I owe?', respond with general rules and explicitly advise consulting a CPA. Never recommend positions lacking 'substantial authority.'

Journey Context:
Tax advice is highly fact-specific. IRS Circular 230 regulates practice before the IRS; violating it can result in penalties. HMRC strictly regulates tax advice. An AI cannot guarantee compliance with the complex interplay of tax codes for an individual, and suggesting aggressive positions is a major liability.
