FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change the tax rate?

    No. The AI only retrieves the rates provided by the tool; it cannot modify them.

  • 02

    Does it work with just a zip code?

    No. To get rooftop accuracy, the AI needs a specific street address to geocode first.

  • 03

    Can the AI issue the tax filing?

    No. The AI only finds the rate. You must handle the actual filing and payment yourself.

  • 04

    Will it automatically update my database?

    No. The AI provides the information to you in the chat. You decide where to save or use it.

  • 05

    How accurate is the rooftop calculation?

    The accuracy depends on the coordinate lookup, which is designed to find the specific local jurisdiction for that exact spot.
