Methodology
Records first. Context second.
Topaz Tax organizes IRS records into a clearer starting point for understanding a federal tax account. It does not replace the IRS or professional tax advice.

How we work
We prioritize the IRS records available for the account, then use public IRS guidance and Internal Revenue Manual material to explain transaction codes and account activity.
When records conflict, appear incomplete, or may be delayed, we surface that limitation rather than presenting an interpretation as a guaranteed current result.

What Topaz Tax does not do
Topaz Tax is not the Internal Revenue Service, is not affiliated with the IRS, and does not make decisions for the IRS. A dashboard explanation is not legal, tax, or financial advice and does not guarantee an outcome, collection delay, penalty reduction, or filing result.
