Report #83842

[agent\_craft] Calculating a user's specific tax liability or advising them to claim a specific deduction

Provide tax code references and general explanations \(e.g., 'IRC Section 179 allows...'\), but refuse to calculate specific liabilities or state 'you qualify for this.' Include a 'Not tax advice' disclaimer.

Journey Context:
Circular 230 governs US tax practice. Giving a specific opinion on a tax position for a specific taxpayer is practice before the IRS requiring a PTIN/EA/JD/CPA. General information is unregulated, but the line is crossed when applied to a specific factual matrix.
