Your accountant sure will.

Most accountants will not in fact share client data with an LLM company.

Curious where you're getting this confidence from.

I'm for sure reinventing the wheel here but I've had an LLM generate an app that walks me through my existing tax routine I've been running with for years. Thus no real numbers go to any LLM I just give it my situation and it fills out the form.

The plan now is to retrieve the current year's tax forms then have an LLM compare them to stored versions from last year, and look for variances (e.g. new field, new form requirements, etc) all of which an LLM would excel at (whilst basic math it historically did not).

Some inference providers have a Zero Data Retention policy

Worst case scenario what does OpenAI do with your tax return?
reply
- their data will be partially leaked in general, including my financial info

- someone who hates me personally will get access to it (see case where someone put their ex-spouse on no-fly-list etc)

- leak my private info via new version of LLM was trained on it

- sell it to everyone interested (maybe sold after their bankruptcy)

- give it to NSA and whoever else

from obvious ones

Oh look, yet another reason to use local inference.
