Policies, Procedures and Compliance Disclosures
1. Privacy policy
What we collect. This site has no sign-up or intake form and does not ask for personal information. We may see basic technical information, such as browser type and the pages visited, to keep the site working and to measure use. If you contact the firm through the form on SmallTax.com or by phone, the information you give is handled under that site’s policies and the firm’s practices.
Fonts. To display this site’s typefaces, your browser loads font files from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When it does, Google receives your IP address and browser details under Google’s own privacy policy. We send Google no other information from this site.
Self-check. The self-check runs in your browser. Your answers are not sent to us or stored.
Sharing, retention and security. We do not sell personal information. We keep information only as long as needed and use reasonable safeguards. No system is completely secure.

2. Sensitive information notice
Do not send identity numbers, including Social Security numbers, PAN, Aadhaar, passport numbers, or full bank, demat, mutual fund folio or insurance policy numbers, through this website, its forms, email or text. Where information of this kind is needed for a consultation, it will be requested only through a secure method agreed in writing.
3. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) may give you rights to know what personal information we hold, to request correction or deletion, and to opt out of certain uses. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in section 9. We will verify your identity before acting. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. Terms of use
The content on this site is provided for general information. You may read and share links to the site. You may not copy the site’s content for resale, scrape the site, or use it to imply an affiliation with the IRS, the Treasury Department, the Government of India or any government agency.
5. Educational disclaimer and consultation terms
Information on this site is general and educational. It is not tax, legal, accounting or investment advice, and it does not create a professional relationship. A professional relationship exists only after a written engagement is signed, and then only for the services described in it. Professional services are provided only by persons holding the credentials stated in the engagement. We do not guarantee any tax, penalty or enforcement outcome. Rules on PFIC, FBAR and Form 8938 reporting change over time and depend on individual facts. The worked example on this site is made up and is not a prediction.
6. Independence from the IRS
The domain name of this site contains “IRS” because it describes an IRS form. This site is an independent guide and is not an IRS website. The IRS does not review, sponsor or endorse it. Go to irs.gov for the official form and instructions.
7. Sponsor and advertising disclosure
The banner at the top of each page shows paid sponsors. Sponsor placement does not mean we have reviewed, verified or endorse the sponsor’s services, and sponsors do not control our content. Where a link is paid, it is marked as sponsored. We will label any other form of compensation when it applies.
8. Accuracy, updates and corrections
We research and cite official sources, such as the IRS instructions and the Internal Revenue Code, and label each page with its last-reviewed date. If you find an error, please contact us. We correct verified errors promptly.
9. Contact; accessibility and complaints
