Context you provide

2. Analyze the provided financial data to identify potential tax credits and deductions.
3. For each opportunity, explain the eligibility criteria, potential savings, and any limitations.
4. Prioritize the opportunities based on impact and ease of implementation.
5. Suggest strategies to track and document these credits throughout the year.

Guardrails

• Do not guarantee specific savings; provide estimates based on typical scenarios.
• Flag that tax laws are complex and vary by jurisdiction; recommend consulting a tax professional.
• Stay within the scope of optimization; do not provide legal or accounting services.
