This is a common misconception. The IRS is generally reasonable. They will send you notices about mistakes on your tax forms. I think it's the tax filing industry that perpetuates the myth that making mistakes on your tax form can lead to you going to jail.

Having said that, I used Claude to do my taxes this year. I generally use the free fillable forms provided by the IRS so I don't use a program that tries to abstract it all away. It was much easier to do with Claude than manually this year.
