Purpose and scope
Our educational content is designed to explain common tax questions in plain English and help readers identify the records, deadlines, and decisions that may require closer review. This policy applies to tax guides and Insights published by Tavella CPA Group.
Service pages describe the firm's work and may link to related educational content. Educational articles may also point readers to a relevant Tavella CPA Group service, but that connection does not change the sourcing or review standards described here.
CPA-led authorship and review
Tax guides and Insights are authored or reviewed before publication by Stefano Tavella, CPA, who is licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in New York and New Jersey. Each article identifies its author and shows a publication or update date.
CPA review is intended to improve accuracy, clarity, and practical usefulness. It does not turn general website information into advice for a particular reader or create a CPA-client relationship.
Sources and substantiation
We prioritize primary, authoritative materials such as the Internal Revenue Code, enacted legislation, Treasury regulations and guidance, IRS forms, instructions, publications and notices, state tax-agency guidance, and official court or government materials. Articles list the principal sources used so readers can review the underlying guidance.
When a rule depends on facts, elections, effective dates, thresholds, state conformity, or unsettled guidance, the article should say so rather than present a broad statement as universally applicable. We avoid fabricated examples, unsupported tax-saving claims, and guarantees about outcomes.
Publication dates and updates
Each article displays when it was published and, when applicable, when it was last updated. We review content when a material law change, new agency guidance, an identified error, or a change in the article's practical relevance warrants an update.
In addition to event-driven updates, the firm schedules a quarterly review of deadline-sensitive and high-traffic tax content. The review checks cited primary sources, effective dates, deadlines, internal links, and whether the related service path still matches the article.
An update date means the page was reviewed or revised on that date; it does not guarantee that every later development has already been incorporated. Readers should check the cited primary sources and seek advice based on the tax year, jurisdiction, and facts involved.
Corrections and reader feedback
If you believe an article contains an error, outdated source, or unclear statement, email stefano@tavellagroup.com with the page URL and a brief explanation. Do not include tax returns, Social Security numbers, account numbers, notices, or other sensitive documents.
Substantive corrections are reviewed promptly. When a correction materially changes an article, the page's updated date is revised so readers can see that the content has changed.
General-information limits
Website content provides general information and is not tax, legal, investment, or accounting advice. Tax results depend on individual facts, the applicable tax year, current law, and federal, state, and local rules. Reading or contacting the firm through this website does not create a CPA-client relationship; that relationship begins only through an accepted engagement agreement.
