@miraculous_cake @NoncanonicAleae the irs has most of the data needed to do your taxes reported from other sources... but rather than assemble it and send you a completed return to review they leave you to assemble your own copies of all the same forms, transfer them into the return and do the calcs yourself
@miraculous_cake @NoncanonicAleae And then they have automated reviews to catch your mistakes and assess penalties... and then they'll run audits where you have to justify everything w more paperwork... new laws interpretations only come from court decisions which take several years to work through the system
@miraculous_cake @NoncanonicAleae often they don't have forms & guidance straight by start of filing season... yet the tax is due during the preceding year before the rules are passed so you pay penalties if you didn't get estimated payments right for laws that didn't exist at the time
@miraculous_cake @NoncanonicAleae there's no way that off the shelf ChatGPT can apply tax laws correctly- context window isn't large enough and the laws were different for pretraining corpus several years old
