Okay, I'll say it. The AICPA and IRS are doing serious damage to tax pros as it relates to AI. Every day there is another "I'm firing my idiot CPA because my frontier model found an error" post. There is a lot of good, but dated, legislation governing what your tax pro can send to a model. You, as the taxpayer, do not have that same restriction. Yes we have client consent processes that can help, but tax pros still need to be using the right tier to protect that data and remain compliant. The tax code keeps growing, context windows for frontier models keep expanding, and the bar for being a tax pro keeps getting raised. We're in this weird spot in the profession where our clients have more technology leverage than we do because of bureaucracy. It's a terrible position to be in and the longer out of touch generations are in charge of making the rules the worse it will get.
