Limitations and assumptions

The built-in content is a small reference summary. It does not establish current tax liability, eligibility, or filing requirements, and its reference entry names sources rather than fetching them. Distinct statutes and implementation dates matter; not every modern income-tax provision derives unchanged from 1861.

Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules are input issues. Extremely large text is rejected. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
