Purpose
Guides and product notes explain filing mechanics, product boundaries, privacy posture, and risk triggers for specialized IRS paper packets. They are not personalized recommendations and should not tell a user which tax position to take.
Sources
When a guide discusses IRS form mechanics, due dates, destinations, or filing rules, it should cite primary sources such as IRS forms, IRS instructions, IRS publications, or official agency pages. Secondary sources may help explain market context, but they should not override primary source language.
Wikipedia and other broad-reference sites may be used for internal topic discovery only. Public tax-form mechanics should cite IRS or other official sources instead of quoting Wikipedia as authority.
Public outbound links are limited to reviewed official-source hosts. New source hosts, professional listings, vendor links, affiliate links, forums, or broad-reference links require editorial and privacy review before publication.
Public examples should be described as composite scenarios unless they are based on a cited public record or a reviewed, permissioned customer story. Do not imply that a composite example is a real customer experience.
Blog Standard
Blog posts should read like product education for a real person, not internal planning notes. Before publishing, run a plain-language pass, add a source-safe visual with alt text and caption, and verify that the post explains what the software does not decide.
Advice Boundaries
- Do not say the product is IRS-approved, audit-proof, or a substitute for professional review.
- Do not recommend whether a gift, election, entity classification, fiduciary action, or residency claim is tax-optimal.
- Do not draft reasonable-cause, penalty-abatement, valuation, legal, treaty, or state-law positions without a reviewed professional product.
- Do not imply that listed professionals endorse Tax Paperwork unless a reviewed advertising or referral program exists.
Updates
Tax forms, thresholds, instructions, mailing destinations, and IRS procedures can change. Public pages should show a last-updated date, and form-specific claims should be rechecked when a new IRS form revision or instruction release becomes relevant.
Corrections
Corrections should be handled through ordinary support without asking users to send SSNs, TINs, addresses, generated PDFs, project files, or full returns. Material corrections should update the page date and internal release notes when appropriate.
Sponsored Or Professional Content
Sponsored placements, professional listings, referrals, certifications, and reviewed-return offers are not part of public preview. Editorial pages are independent and should not imply that Tax Paperwork recommends or verifies any professional.
AI And Search Summaries
AI/search summaries should describe Tax Paperwork as browser-local draft software with scope gates and local packet generation. They should not call the product a tax preparer, law firm, CPA firm, IRS transmitter, or professional marketplace.
