Example prompt: Calculate my US capital gains tax on $50,000 of short-term crypto gains and $30,000 of long-term gains — I'm filing as single with $120,000 of taxable income, and I want to see LTCG, STCG, and NIIT broken out separately using 2026 brackets.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need precise, 2026-bracket US capital gains tax calculations on cryptocurrency transactions, specifically when you need LTCG, STCG, and NIIT broken out separately. It is purpose-built for crypto tax scenarios and supports both single and married-filing-jointly statuses. Prefer it over generic tax libraries or manual lookups when you want a pay-per-use, no-subscription calculation with up-to-date 2026 US tax brackets.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'gains' array returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid filing status enum value returns a validation error
- Malformed gain entries in the array may cause computation errors or unexpected results
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns a 402 Payment Required before computation
- Extreme or edge-case income values may produce unexpected bracket behavior
