Editorial Policy

Our Standards

Every article on Prefile Check is written, reviewed, and maintained by finance professionals with direct experience in tax compliance, financial planning, and IRS reporting. We hold our content to the same standard we would apply to institutional financial analysis.

Our goal is to provide accurate, actionable, and up-to-date tax guidance for freelancers and independent contractors filing Schedule C.

Author Qualifications

Our primary author, Juwon Lee, brings 15+ years of senior finance experience including investment banking, turnaround consulting, and CFO leadership. He holds an MBA in Finance from Northwestern Kellogg.

This firsthand experience in corporate finance, tax strategy, and regulatory compliance informs every piece of content we publish.

Research and Fact-Checking

• 1.Primary sources first. All tax guidance is cross-referenced with official IRS publications, instructions, and revenue rulings. We cite specific IRS Publication numbers and form references in every article.
• 2.No speculative advice. We do not publish tax strategies that lack clear IRS authority. When a topic involves gray areas, we identify them explicitly and recommend consulting a tax professional.
• 3.Regular updates. Tax law changes. We review and update our articles when IRS rules, thresholds, or deadlines change. Each article displays a "last updated" date.
• 4.Corrections policy. If we discover an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the top of the article. Readers can report errors to [email protected].

Use of AI Tools

We use AI tools to assist with research and drafting. Every article is reviewed and edited by a human author with relevant finance expertise before publication. AI-generated content is never published without human review and fact-checking against primary IRS sources.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is independent from our product. Blog articles provide tax education regardless of whether readers use Prefile Check. When we mention our product, it is clearly identified as such.
