I feel like it's A. The trust officer is just giving tax info, not legal advice.

I disagree, it's B. Only the CPA is crossing the line.

This is tricky! I thought trust officers could give some advice, but I'm not confident. I might just go with D since I can't remember the specifics.

I practiced a similar question about non-lawyers giving legal advice, and I think both actions could be seen as unauthorized. So, I might go with C.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like CPAs can provide some financial planning without it being unauthorized practice. Maybe it's just I?

I remember discussing how giving tax advice can sometimes cross into legal territory, so I think I might lean towards option C.
