The top ways people plan to use AI is to help answer filing questions, find deductions or credits, and review returns for mistakes.
If you can’t afford a professional, these don’t seem particularly unreasonable. I certain wouldn’t recommend feeding all your info into chatgpt etc but for a simple filer, asking an LLM for explanations or possible deductions seems fine.
Not everyone has access to the same resources that I do, so I try to picture it from others perspectives.
If you need tax help, call your local library, they often have tax help. Also if it seems like a tax dodge, don’t take the deduction. Don’t outsource your brain to an LLM. You’ve done your taxes before without a GPT you can do it again.
I have two chatgipty robots on my servers… they are resource hogs and they waste my time. I gave it the old college try but I would rather a central authority and a easy process than double checking / double handling the garbage that the techbro chatgipity stole. It is like the nazis were bad but aleast we have rockets. Always put blame on the consumer, shelter themselves from liabilities and keep maxing out the nations credit card like there is no tomorrow To the point were the currency ain’t shit and we are all trading in fart coin which can be taken away by the super structure if we don’t kiss the ring.

If you can’t afford a professional, you are probably not in a place where you would have enough itemized deductions to match the standard deduction
Have fun with that audit.
Someone on the internet told me they don’t have enough people to do audits. Maybe they will send ICE… Anything goes now a daze
Like I said, not everyone has the same resources I do…
But this doesn’t seem worse than googling questions and not everyone can spend hours waiting to talk with the Irs/Cra etc.
It just seems that sometimes folks are so determined to be anti LLM that they refuse to see how it could ever help anyone.
“Googling” used to get you to the needed IRS documentation, but now, with the help of Gemini you’re just being lied to.

Believe it or not, there are people who aren’t you who struggle with stuff.
Help a marginalized person with paperwork and you’ll see what I mean.
