Report #99389
[agent\_craft] Shipped a tax-calculation or filing-prep feature that tells users what they owe without Circular 230 disclaimers or tax-pro review
Label every tax output as general information, include a Circular 230 disclaimer that the communication is not intended to be used to avoid penalties, require a licensed tax professional to review outputs used for filing, and never auto-submit to a tax authority
Journey Context:
Tax-helper features compute liabilities and tell users what to file, but IRS Circular 230 and preparer-penalty rules treat written advice and filing preparation as regulated. The common shortcut is a generic footer; the real fix is to treat the output as a draft, require human sign-off before it is filed, and log that review. This distinguishes allowed information from advice or preparation that can trigger penalties
