Frequently asked

Is TaxProsRated tax advice?

No. TaxProsRated is informational only. We summarise publicly available tax rules and route you to credentialed local pros. Acting on our content without consulting a licensed practitioner in your jurisdiction is your call, not our recommendation.

How are pros verified?

We verify each pro’s primary credential against the issuing authority’s public registry — IRS PTIN lookup, state CPA boards, IRS EA roster, and TPB for Australia. Verified pros carry a date-stamped badge; we re-verify quarterly.

How are software ratings determined?

Editorial scorecards apply six criteria — ease of use, pricing, features, support, international reach, and best-for fit — independently of commission rate. Methodology is published at /methodology and revised twice a year.

Do you charge searchers?

No. Searching content and the directory is free. Some links on the site are affiliate links — disclosed inline — and pros pay for higher-tier listings. Editorial content and ratings are not influenced by either revenue stream.

How do I list my practice?

List your practice at /list-your-practice. Free tier publishes a verified credential and a basic listing. Enhanced, Featured, and Premium tiers add photo, longer bio, prioritised contact routing, and more.
