| What the lawyer must review | You check that each question matches a label the client actually had, and that no figure has been invented. Formal Opinion 512: generated figures are a known failure mode. Office of Professional Responsibility Issue 2026-19: verify facts and calculations before a return is filed.

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Draft questions from the prior-year line labels the lawyer supplies. Leave every amount blank. Do not copy a prior-year number into the question as this year's figure.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A prior-year number is not this year's number. The question asks. It does not fill.
- No form number is used. The labels are the ones in the client's papers.
