How we check our facts
Every page uses public sources you can click and read.
Last updated October 8, 2026. Here is how we write and check every page on TaxTruce.
Where our facts come from
- Government and regulator pages first: the IRS, the Taxpayer Advocate Service, state tax agencies, the FTC and the Census Bureau.
- IRS data next, like the IRS Data Book.
- Consumer finance sites only when no official page covers it, and we name them in the text.
How we check it
- Every fact links to the page it came from, listed under Sources.
- We open each source page. We do not copy from search snippets.
- Fees, rates and dollar limits come from the IRS page that sets them, with the date we checked.
- When a source is old or a rule is only for one state, we say so on the page.
- We review pages when tax rules, IRS rates or IRS fees change. Each page shows the date it was last updated.
How we write
- Plain words and short sentences, so anyone can follow it.
- No fake reviews, no fake awards, and no promises about results.
- We show free options too, like the IRS online account and the IRS pre-qualifier tool.
How we make money
TaxTruce is free for you. When you ask for help and agree on our form, your request goes to the tax resolution firms TaxTruce works with. They pay us for referrals. That pays for the site. Each firm sets its own fees. How it works and who we are. The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy say it in full.
