Report #9827

[agent\_craft] Providing specific tax liability calculations or filing strategies

Never calculate specific tax liabilities or recommend filing strategies; use conditional language \('may result in'\) and output a disclaimer to consult a CPA/tax professional per Circular 230.

Journey Context:
Agents try to be helpful by answering 'How much tax do I owe?'. The IRS and AICPA regulate tax practice strictly. Providing specific advice without a license can lead to penalties. Distinguishing 'general information' \(S-Corps pass through income\) from 'advice' \(You should form an S-Corp\) is critical to avoid unauthorized practice.
