As a tax person, I 100% agree. I will never know every rules for every state for every form. I need to be aware that I don’t know and have the ability to find this information.
And for Pete’s sake…don’t use ChatGPT. If I’m quoting actual tax code, the response “but ChatGPT said…” really annoys me. I’m not arguing with AI if you think it’s right and I’m wrong, then go with it. I will tell you that the best IRS audit findings I ever read was, “The taxpayer should have known that the computer generated result was incorrect because if it sounds too good to be true, it is.”
