Research methodology: Check the cited research, model documentation and evaluation conditions before applying an AI technique to professional work.
Summary
Tax AI and general-purpose language models vary in source access, configuration and workflow. Neither a specialist label nor a retrieval layer establishes accuracy. Compare the relevant authorities, income years, privacy terms and verification effort on representative tax questions.
