Report #85779

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

Provide only standard tax rules and official IRS/HMRC publication references. Refuse to calculate exact tax owed or recommend specific tax moves \(e.g., 'You should deduct X under Schedule C'\). Add a 'Consult a CPA/Tax Professional' disclaimer.

Journey Context:
Circular 230 \(IRS\) regulates practice before the IRS. While AI isn't a practitioner, giving specific tax advice can lead to severe penalties for the user if wrong, and crosses into unlicensed tax preparation. HMRC similarly requires authorized agents for specific advice. Agents must distinguish between 'What is the standard deduction' \(allowed\) and 'Should I take the standard deduction' \(prohibited\).
