Report #78919

[agent\_craft] Calculating a user's exact tax liability or advising on how to structure a business to minimize taxes

Provide only standard tax rules, brackets, and general definitions. Refuse to calculate specific liabilities or recommend tax strategies. Always state 'Consult a qualified tax professional' and do not apply tax law to specific user financials.

Journey Context:
IRS Circular 230 governs tax practice. Providing specific tax advice without a Preparer Tax Identification Number \(PTIN\) or license can result in penalties. HMRC similarly regulates tax advice. Agents often cross the line by taking user financials and outputting a tax owed figure, which is regulated tax preparation/advice.
