## How to call it through Zero

```sh

```

Example prompt: What are my crypto tax obligations in the United States — including how staking rewards and DeFi trades are treated — and which tax reporting tools would you recommend for filing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user needs jurisdiction-specific crypto tax guidance, optimization tips, or reporting tool recommendations — particularly for DeFi, staking, and trading scenarios — rather than generic financial advice. Best used before tax filing season or when entering a new jurisdiction's crypto market.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized jurisdiction returns generic or empty guidance
- Rapidly changing tax laws may cause outdated information to be returned
- Ambiguous jurisdiction input (e.g. state vs country level) may produce mismatched guidance
- Network or payment verification failure returns 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works

Jurisdiction-specific crypto tax obligations, optimization strategies and reporting-tool picks. For crypto tax and accounting agents.

## Output

A structured guide covering jurisdiction-specific crypto tax rules (capital gains treatment, income classification, reporting thresholds), optimization strategies (tax-loss harvesting, holding period considerations), and recommendations for crypto tax reporting software appropriate to the user's country.
