Tax & Legal Disclaimer

Effective Date: May 18, 2026 · Version 2026.05.18

1. No Professional Relationship

TaxMint.ai (the "Service") is an automated software platform designed for informational and educational purposes only. TaxMint.ai is not a law firm, a certified public accounting (CPA) firm, a registered tax preparer, or a financial advisory firm.

Use of the Service does not create:

  • A fiduciary, advisory, or professional-client relationship.
  • An attorney-client privilege.
  • A CPA-client confidentiality privilege under IRC §7525.

2. AI-Powered Tax Auditor Limitations

The "Tax Auditor" tool uses third-party AI services (Google Gemini via Google Vertex AI) to flag potential discrepancies for your review. It is not a definitive statement of tax compliance or error. The AI may produce incomplete or inaccurate results.

  • Informational flagging only: Verdicts are starting points for your own review, not final determinations.
  • Tiered consensus model: Where confidence is critical, our system performs cross-model verification (multiple independent AI evaluations) to reduce single-model error rates. This is an automated reliability measure, not a substitute for professional judgment.
  • Conditional debug use of Anthropic Claude: Separate from runtime audit processing, our engineering team may use Anthropic's Claude to debug specific reported issues — only when you have granted explicit data access via the bug-report flow. See the Privacy Policy §4.1.

3. Accuracy of Data and Calculations

  • Garbage in, garbage out: All results depend entirely on the accuracy of the data you input. We do not validate the truthfulness of your entries.
  • Federal vs. State: We model U.S. Federal Tax thoroughly. State-tax modeling is provided as a calculation for the states currently supported in the Service; for states not yet supported, the Service computes federal results and presents state-level results as "not modeled." Always verify state-specific implications with a local professional.
  • Tax Year Specificity: Tax laws change annually. Use of the Service for prior or future tax years carries risk of using outdated rules.

4. Not a Substitute for Filing

Using TaxMint.ai does not constitute the filing of a tax return with the IRS or any state taxing authority. You remain solely responsible for filing all legally required tax returns on time and accurately, and for paying all taxes owed.

5. Limitation of Reliance

You agree that you will:

  1. Not rely solely on the outputs of the Service for any actual tax filing.
  2. Verify all results with a qualified tax professional (CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax attorney) before filing any return.
  3. Not hold TaxMint.ai liable for any tax penalties, interest, or audit costs incurred due to reliance on the Service.
