Tips & Best Practices

• State your region and tax year up front. Rules and thresholds vary widely and change over time.
• Summarize your situation in one sentence. For example: “Freelancer in Canada, part‑time, ~$40k revenue, software + travel expenses.”
• Ask the assistant to list assumptions. This keeps guidance transparent and easier to verify.
• Request checklists and tables. They’re faster to review and share with your accountant.
• Use example‑driven prompts. “Show 2 sample invoices” or “Draft a mileage log template I can copy.”
• Compare options side by side. Ask for pros/cons (e.g., cash vs. accrual concepts—high level only).
• Capture deadlines. Turn the output into calendar reminders for estimates and filings; pair with the Free Ai Task Organizer.
• Keep clean records. Keep receipts, categorize expenses monthly, and reconcile bank statements regularly.
• Redact sensitive data. Avoid sharing IDs, full addresses, or account numbers. Use placeholders.
• Ask for ‘Questions to ask my accountant.’ Arrive prepared for human consultations.
• Verify with official sources. Laws change; use the assistant to generate a checklist of websites and forms to review.

Limitations, Accuracy Notes & Disclaimers

• General information only. The Free Ai Tax Assistant does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice and should not be relied upon for final decisions.
• No filing or form completion. It does not prepare or e‑file returns, complete government forms, or review your documents.
• Region- and time‑sensitive. Tax rules differ by country/region and change frequently. Always confirm with official sources or a licensed professional.
• Illustrative estimates. Any numbers are examples based on stated assumptions and may not reflect your exact situation.
• Edge cases need experts. Cross‑border issues, entity selection, complex investments, stock options, and audits require a qualified advisor.
• No personal data processing. Avoid entering sensitive identifiers (SSNs, tax IDs, bank/account numbers). Use placeholders.
• You’re responsible for compliance. Use the assistant to draft checklists and questions, then validate with a professional.

For high‑stakes or complex scenarios, schedule time with a licensed tax professional and bring the assistant’s checklist as a starting point.

Privacy & Data Handling

• Minimal input, maximum clarity. Share only what’s needed to get general guidance (e.g., “freelancer in Germany, software + travel expenses”).
• No sensitive identifiers. Don’t enter SSNs, tax IDs, full addresses, bank details, or document images.
• Use placeholders. Replace names, IDs, and exact figures with generic labels when possible.
• Local storage is your choice. Copy outputs into your own notes/spreadsheets; clear the chat when finished.
• No uploads of official forms. The assistant can describe what to look for, but won’t review documents.
• Transparency first. Ask the assistant to list assumptions and sources to help you verify information.
