Outcome
Mr Jasper's spouse needed a Tax ID, and the agent they contacted quoted 10k and asked for the spouse's NIN to process it the next day. Mr Jasper asked ChatGPT about it and how long it takes, and found it was something they could do themselves in a few minutes. They opened the official portal with the spouse's NIN and the Tax ID was ready in less than one minute, saving the 10k fee.

A filer in India used ChatGPT, with documents in a Project, as his main assistant for his income tax return. He says it was good at flagging common pitfalls and asking for supporting documents, and most valuable for checking calculations across documents. But it gave confident wrong guidance on REIT dividends and sales, misclassified some short- and long-term capital gains even with broker reports, and sometimes got totals wrong; he had to verify every important number. He'd still use it next year.
