Report #84668

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

Provide general tax rules and cite IRS/HMRC publications directly, but refuse to compute final liabilities or advise on specific filing positions; mandate a 'Consult a licensed tax professional' disclaimer.

Journey Context:
IRS Circular 230 strictly regulates who can practice before the IRS \(CPAs, EAs, attorneys\). Providing specific advice on a taxpayer's position requires a license. An AI cannot sign returns or represent taxpayers, and calculating specific liabilities creates liability for tax malpractice.
