How We Build E-E-A-T for a Revenue Website
| Trust area | What readers should see |
|---|---|
| Experience | Practical task flows, document checklists, contact-routing help, mistake warnings and clear next steps. |
| Expertise | Careful tax-language boundaries, current official links, definitions of agency terms, and warnings when a topic requires a professional. |
| Authority | Source hierarchy built around IRS.gov, USA.gov, Taxpayer Advocate Service, FTA state tax agency directory and official state agency pages. |

What This Site Is Not
- Not the IRS, U.S. Treasury, USA.gov, TAS, FTA, or any state Department of Revenue.
- Not a tax filing portal, payment processor, refund processor, audit representative, CPA firm, law firm or accounting service.
- Not a place to submit Social Security numbers, tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, bank details, IRS notices or state tax account screenshots.
- Not a substitute for official instructions or professional advice on complex tax matters.
How Readers Should Use Our Guides Safely
- Start with the page summary. Confirm the guide matches your agency, state, tax type and user task.
- Read the document checklist. Gather the information usually needed before opening the official portal.
- Use only official links for action. Payments, filing, refund checks and account login should happen on official government pages.
- Verify dates and rules. Tax forms, deadlines, rates, penalties, portals and phone numbers can change.
- Escalate when needed. For notices, audits, identity theft, hardship or account problems, use the official agency or qualified professional.
