What You'll Get
A clear, plain-language explanation of how a tax rule applies to your client's situation — including the relevant IRC section and any elections or exceptions worth knowing about.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
My client [brief description, no names or SSNs] has this tax situation: [describe the situation]. What does the tax code say about this? Cite the relevant IRC section. Explain in plain language what applies and note any elections or exceptions that could affect the outcome.
Tips
Always verify the code section and any exceptions against Checkpoint or IRS.gov before finalizing your position — treat this as a first-pass orientation, not a final answer. Remove any client names or SSNs before pasting the situation description.
