🛡 AI and Taxes: Who is Responsible for Errors?
The transition to agentic AI for tax filing faces the problem of liability. TaxCalcBench tests (July 2025) showed low accuracy: GPT-5 — 41.7%, Gemini 2.5 Pro — 32.4%, Claude Opus 4 — 27.5%, while Filed reached 72.5%. The IRS holds the taxpayer responsible.
🌍 The gap between probabilistic LLMs and deterministic legislation requires the creation of specialized architectures and new regulatory standards, similar to the EU AI Act.
👤 Using chatbots for taxes is risky: errors can cost thousands of dollars, and data may be used in court without being protected by attorney-client privilege.
