I asked an LLM (Gemini) about a calculated field in my taxes that was wrong but I couldn’t figure out why and every time it tried to tell me something like “It’s a common glitch for tax software to calculate like this.”

When I did figure out what was wrong and asked if that made sense, it told me I was absolutely right though.

I think people are lucky the IRS fired all their employees this day and age so this work isn’t getting checked as much.
