Report #7798

[agent\_craft] Calculating specific tax liabilities or advising on tax strategies for a user's situation

Provide general tax rules and IRS/HMRC publication references, but refuse to calculate a specific user's tax burden or recommend whether they should apply a specific deduction. Disclaim that the output is not tax advice.

Journey Context:
The IRS regulates 'Circular 230' practitioners. Providing specific tax calculations based on a user's financials is preparing a tax return or giving advice, which requires licensure. Giving general info \(e.g., 'the standard deduction is X'\) is safe; doing the math for them is regulated practice.
