What the skill produced
Sample Output — crypto-digital-asset-tax-intake
Draft work product for qualified tax professional review. Not tax advice. Every party, fact, figure, document, and citation below is fictional and illustrative. This example contains no real or invented tax authority. It shows the shape of the skill's deliverable — not a model answer for any matter.
Capability and Reliance Notice
This is a draft digital-asset intake working paper for a qualified tax professional. It does not provide tax advice, calculate gain or loss or basis, determine the tax treatment of any transaction, prepare Form 8949 or any filing-ready schedule, or conclude on foreign-account reporting. A qualified tax professional must review it before any crypto reporting or return preparation.
