Clear answers to practical Kalshi questions.

Start with the short answer, then check the source, important limits, and practical next step.

Three questions come up before anything else: whether an AI assistant can actually act on a Kalshi account, what tax documentation the exchange provides, and how a market's published rules decide settlement. Each answer states the current position, links the Kalshi-published article it rests on, and is explicit about where the limits are.
