Oh God, that's so fucking stupid.

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 can’t afford a professional, you are probably not in a place where you would have enough itemized deductions to match the standard deduction
