How we work
Editorial standards & review policy.
Tax content can change the outcome of a real IRS case. Here's how we decide what to publish, who reviews it, where we get our facts, and how we fix mistakes.
Credentialed authorship and review
Every page about a tax matter is written or reviewed by Franklin Sofi, MBA, CPA, CTRS — a federally authorized CPA with 15+ years representing taxpayers before the IRS. The reviewer's name, credentials, and the date of the most recent review appear at the top of each article.
Primary sources first
We cite the IRS (irs.gov), the Internal Revenue Code, the Internal Revenue Manual, U.S. Tax Court opinions, and Treasury regulations directly. When we summarize a notice, form, or procedure, we link to the official source so readers can verify it themselves.
Real-world practice context
Where useful, we add anonymized practice context — what we actually see in IRS field collection, examination, and appeals offices. Names, balances, and identifying details are changed or aggregated. We never publish a client matter without written authorization.
Dated at publication
Each article shows the date it was written or last reviewed at the top of the page. Tax law, IRS procedures, dollar thresholds, and forms change frequently — we do not promise that every article reflects current law at the moment you read it. Always confirm current rules with a CPA before acting on anything you read here.
Corrections policy
If you find an error, let us know through our contact page or by calling the office. When we correct a factual error, we update the page, refresh the review date, and — for substantive changes — note what changed.
Editorial independence
Our content is not sponsored, syndicated, or paid for by any third party. We do not accept guest posts, link insertions, or paid placements. The only commercial relationship described on this site is the engagement between our firm and our clients.
What we don't publish
The lines we don't cross.
- —Legal advice. We are a CPA firm, not a law firm. For litigation or non-tax legal advice, consult a licensed attorney.
- —Investment, financial-planning, or insurance recommendations.
- —Guarantees of specific IRS outcomes. Results depend on each taxpayer's facts and circumstances.
- —AI-generated content published without CPA review. Drafting tools may assist research, but every published page is reviewed by a credentialed human.
