Review Methodology

We do not publish a review until we have enough attributable evidence to explain what was evaluated. Evidence may include product documentation, public pricing, regulatory records, contracts, support interactions, demonstrations, and hands-on testing. We do not fabricate customer experiences or infer a score from marketing copy.

Criteria are defined before evaluation and tailored to the category. Common factors include transparent pricing, eligibility disclosures, workflow clarity, security and privacy practices, support access, cancellation terms, complaint history, and the accuracy of claims about IRS programs.

A score is published only when the underlying criteria and weighting are visible. Products are compared within the same category and testing period. Rankings are not sold, and commercial relationships do not change editorial conclusions.

Companies may provide factual corrections or updated documentation. We distinguish factual corrections from disagreements with our analysis. Material corrections are handled under our Corrections Policy, and reviews are revisited when pricing, ownership, product functionality, or regulatory status changes.

Any affiliate, advertising, free-access, or other commercial relationship is disclosed on the relevant page. Tax Relief Help has not published company or software rankings during this initial rebrand because attributable review research has not yet been completed.
