How research works

From question to citable answer.

  • Ask in plain English

    Include the messy facts. No query syntax.

  • The answer comes cited

    Code sections, regulations, and published guidance, linked so you can read the source yourself.

  • Push the conclusion into the work

    Keep the answer with the client file, so the position and its support live where the return does.

Tax research questions

Primary authority first: the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury regulations, and published IRS guidance, cited inline so nothing rests on “trust me.”
