- dgan 5mo agoLol thats brave on your part, given that a mistake can cost thousands and you have no accountability (punch!) from an LLM
- sethammons 5mo agoYour account has no accountability. Do your taxes wrong and the tax payer is liable. Ask me how I know.
- dgan 5mo agoAt least he has a reputational/commercial risk. LLM has none
- goosejuice 5mo agoIn the US, all you need to work in tax prep is a high school diploma and most individuals are not worth the cost of an audit. I wouldn't say it's particularly brave, in fact LLMs are probably better at identifying mistakes than most tax payers. The % of Americans using a CPA to file taxes is fairly small.
- dinkumthinkum 5mo agoIf you go by percentage of Americans, well consider the percentage of Americans that are actually net taxpayers.
- dominotw 5mo agoyou know i had a tax accountant that said i dont have to cap gains on iso exercise . i checked it with ai that gave me all the detailed info that i took back to accountant who then agreed that they made a mistake. Even if you dont feel comfortable using ai for taxes. you can atleast understand your situation better. And go to accountant for final 10percent. It is not really that hard.

- BirAdam 5mo agoAre you in the USA? Brave person if so.
- gitaarik 5mo agoThat's fine if you have a relatively straightforward situation. If the situation is a bit more complex, with important decisions you should consider, it might still need some eyeballing and time. That is accounting.
- techblueberry 5mo agoI mean, I was able to do all my taxes this year with H&R Block and no AI and no accountant.
