What should happen before you rely on this

Review IRS primary-source readiness before relying on any interpretation.
Confirm which chunk-level evidence supports gains, losses, holding periods, and retirement topics.
Separate authoritative evidence from facts that still require direct user intake.

Still missing

Actual holdings, lots, and holding periods.
Account types and retirement distribution context.
Realized gains/losses, wash sale exposure, and tax bracket facts.

What the app already sees

Authoritative base

IRS sources should lead the packet before any derived recommendations.
Chunk citations should be used to support each planned tax topic.

Decision discipline

Do not generate tax conclusions until missing user facts are collected.
Use the packet to define questions, not to hallucinate advice.

What a good answer should deliver

A tax-prep packet that helps a future assistant ask the right questions before giving guidance.
