To implement these templates, choose a relevant myth your members might encounter, then post the prompt according to your community schedule. Invite members to comment, share their perspectives, or provide supporting evidence. After some discussion, reply with reputable sources or facts to clarify the truth. Rotate topics weekly or bi-weekly to keep engagement high. Always moderate respectfully and cite reliable resources in your follow-up.
For all platforms, format your Myth Buster posts clearly: start with the myth as a bold statement or question, then invite discussion. Use polls or question stickers for stories on social apps. On forums or LinkedIn, pin clarifications and source links in the comments. Adapt your CTA (call to action) to fit platform features like reactions, replies, or upvotes.
Use the templates to create posts that directly challenge widespread myths, such as 'AI will replace human auditors' or 'AI-driven audit tools always guarantee 100% accuracy.'

Leverage the templates to highlight myths specific to tax compliance, such as 'AI can fully automate tax filings without oversight' or 'Using AI for tax compliance increases audit risk.'
