Terms of Service

By accessing or using the FreeTaxUpdate website ("Site") and services ("Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Site or Services.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective when posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

FreeTaxUpdate is a consumer matching service that connects individuals and businesses facing tax debt with qualified tax relief professionals. Our Services include:

• A web-based platform for submitting information about your tax situation
• A matching algorithm that pairs you with tax relief specialists from our vetted network
• Educational content about IRS programs, tax debt, and relief options
• Company reviews and comparison tools for tax relief providers

FreeTaxUpdate does not itself provide tax resolution, tax preparation, legal, or financial advisory services. We facilitate connections between consumers and independent tax relief companies.

FreeTaxUpdate operates as a lead generation and matching service. By submitting your information through our forms, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Your information will be shared with one or more tax relief companies in our partner network for the purpose of providing you with a consultation
• Tax relief companies pay FreeTaxUpdate a fee for these connections; you are not charged by FreeTaxUpdate
• You may be contacted by matched tax relief companies via phone, email, or text message regarding your inquiry
• You are not obligated to engage any tax relief company's services
• The order or prominence of company listings may be influenced by compensation or other commercial factors, though editorial content is independently produced

The content on FreeTaxUpdate is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute tax, legal, or financial advice.

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, tax laws and IRS procedures are complex and change frequently. The information on our Site should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional tax advice tailored to your specific situation.

Our calculators, guides, and educational content provide general estimates and overviews. Actual outcomes depend on individual circumstances, IRS determinations, and other factors that cannot be predicted by general-purpose tools.

We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional, such as an enrolled agent, CPA, or tax attorney, before making decisions about your tax situation.

By using our Services, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and truthful information when completing our forms
• Be at least 18 years of age
• Not use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
• Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data
• Not use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Site without written permission
• Not submit false or misleading information through our forms

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, display, or create derivative works from any content on our Site without prior written consent, except for personal, non-commercial use such as printing a page for your own reference.

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites and services, including those of our tax relief partners. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of service of any third-party websites. Your interactions with third-party services, including tax relief companies in our network, are governed by those parties' own terms and policies.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FreeTaxUpdate and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site or Services, including but not limited to:

• Any outcomes resulting from services provided by tax relief companies in our network
• Errors or inaccuracies in content, calculators, or estimates
• Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data
• Any interruption or cessation of the Site or Services

Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Site shall not exceed the amount you paid to FreeTaxUpdate, if any, during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FreeTaxUpdate and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall first be attempted to be resolved through informal negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
