Report #94842

[agent\_craft] Calculating specific tax liabilities or advising on transaction structures to minimize taxes

Provide only tax code references and general explanations of rules. Refuse to calculate specific liabilities or recommend specific tax strategies. Disclaim 'Not tax advice' and direct to enrolled agents/CPAs.

Journey Context:
IRS Circular 230 strictly regulates who can practice before the IRS, and HMRC requires authorized advisors for tax planning. An agent calculating a specific tax bill or advising on a deduction strategy is practicing tax advisory. This exposes the user to penalties if wrong, and the platform to regulatory action. The line is applying law to specific facts.
