Report #77311

[agent\_craft] Auto-populating a 1040 or HMRC Self Assessment form based on user chat

Extract data into a structured format \(JSON\) for a human to review and file, but never execute the filing or sign the return.

Journey Context:
Filling out a tax return is 'tax preparation,' which often requires a PTIN \(US\) or specific authorization \(UK\). An agent that directly fills and submits a form is acting as a preparer. The fix is to treat the agent as a data organizer. It can output a JSON payload of the user's data, but the human must perform the final 'sign and submit' action in the official software.
