Key Takeaways

  • Every page on this site is written or supervised by a California-licensed attorney and reviewed by a second California-licensed attorney before publication.
  • We use AI tools to assist drafting; the named attorney owns the final accuracy of every page. We disclose this explicitly rather than hiding it.
  • Statutes, regulations, and case law are linked to primary government sources. Dollar figures are cross-checked against the current Internal Revenue Manual.
  • Errors get corrected within two business days of being reported, and the correction is dated on the page.
  • We do not accept paid placements, affiliate fees, or sponsorships in our educational content.

Tax-law content carries real consequences. A reader who acts on a wrong statute citation, a misstated penalty rate, or an outdated procedure can lose money or miss a deadline. This page documents how we write, review, and correct content at Victory Tax Lawyers so that anyone reading our pages knows exactly who signed off on the words and how the work was checked.

How Content Is Created and Reviewed

1. Drafting

Each page starts from an outline written by the assigned Managing Attorney. The outline names the IRC or R&TC sections that will be cited, the court or administrative venue that will be discussed, and the case-law anchors that apply. We use AI tools to expand the outline into a first draft and to check for plain-language clarity — the draft is not published as-is.

2. Attorney editing

The drafting attorney reads the AI-assisted first draft line by line. Anything inaccurate, oversimplified, or misleading is rewritten. Anything that would mislead a reader about their actual rights or remedies is cut. Statute citations and case names are verified against the primary source. Dollar figures (CSED windows, penalty rates, OIC offer percentages, IRC §7345 passport-revocation thresholds) are cross-checked against the current Internal Revenue Manual section or the relevant IRS publication.

3. Second-attorney review

The page then goes to the other Managing Attorney for review. The reviewer reads the full page, checks the statute and case citations independently, and either approves or sends it back with notes. Only after the reviewer signs off does the page get published. The reviewer's name appears on the page in the "Reviewed by" line so readers can see two California-licensed attorneys signed off on the content.

4. AI assistance disclosure

We use AI tools — large language models — to help draft, summarize source material, and improve readability. We do this openly because pretending otherwise would not change the underlying fact and would be dishonest with readers. What does not change is that a California-licensed attorney owns the accuracy of every published word. If an AI-assisted draft contained an error and the attorney did not catch it during editing or review, the error is the attorney's responsibility, not the tool's.

Fact-Checking Standards

Primary sources are linked directly:

  • Internal Revenue Code sections link to the U.S. Code on law.cornell.edu (a Legal Information Institute resource maintained by Cornell Law School) or to irs.gov.
  • California statutes link to leginfo.legislature.ca.gov with the correct lawCode + sectionNum URL parameters.
  • IRS procedure and guidance links to irs.gov — the relevant Internal Revenue Manual section, IRS Publication, Revenue Procedure, or Notice.
  • Federal court opinions link to the court's official reporter or to law.cornell.edu.
  • California court opinions link to the official California Courts opinion archive at courts.ca.gov.
  • Attorney bar status links to apps.calbar.ca.gov verification pages.

Where a statute has been amended after a page was first published, the page is updated and the "Last Reviewed" date at the bottom is set to the date the update was made. Out-of-date pages are flagged with a banner if the rewrite has not yet been completed.

Corrections and Updates

If you find an error on any page on this site — a wrong citation, an outdated statute reference, a broken government link, a misstated penalty rate — email corrections@victorytaxlaw.com with the page URL and the specific item.

  • We acknowledge the email within two business days.
  • If the correction is valid, the page is updated and the change is dated. We do not silently rewrite published text.
  • If we believe the original was right, we respond with the source we relied on so you can evaluate it.
  • Material corrections (those that change the substantive meaning of a statute or procedure) are noted in a "Corrections" section at the bottom of the affected page, with the date and a brief description of what was changed.

Author Attribution

Every educational and service page on this site carries:

  • A named writer — either Parham Khorsandi, Esq. or Amir Boroumand, Esq. — at the bottom of the page with a link to that attorney's bio.
  • A named reviewer — the other Managing Attorney — in the "Reviewed by" line directly below the writer.
  • A "Last Reviewed" date with a machine-readable <time> element so the date is honest to crawlers as well as to readers.
  • A California Bar number for both attorneys with a verification link to apps.calbar.ca.gov.

This makes the editorial chain auditable. A reader who wants to know who wrote and approved a given page can find out in seconds.

Conflicts of Interest and Sponsorship

We do not accept paid sponsorships, affiliate fees, or pay-for-mention arrangements on any educational page. Service pages, comparison pages, and informational pages on victorytaxlaw.com are written to be useful to the reader, not to generate ad revenue from a third party.

External links go to government sources (irs.gov, ca.gov, ustaxcourt.gov, calbar.ca.gov), primary law (law.cornell.edu, leginfo.legislature.ca.gov), or our own internal pages. We do not link to other tax firms as endorsements and we do not run "sponsored by" content. Where a third-party reference appears (a New York Times article, a Tax Notes piece, an academic paper), it is cited because it adds information for the reader, not because the publisher paid for the placement.

Past Results Disclaimer

Any reference on this site to a dollar amount of tax relief, a specific case outcome, a settlement range, or aggregate firm statistics — including the $91 million in client relief, the 2,000+ cases handled figure, and the 5.0-star Google Business Profile rating with 72 reviews — is a record of past work and is not a prediction of future results. Each IRS or California tax matter turns on its own facts: the taxpayer's compliance history, ability to pay, the specific notice or assessment at issue, and current IRS, FTB, CDTFA, or EDD policy at the time of the engagement. No client should rely on a past result as a guarantee or estimate of their own likely outcome.

Editorial FAQs

Who reviews the legal content on this site?

Every page that explains tax law, IRS procedure, California tax procedure, or VTL services is reviewed by one of our two Managing Attorneys — Parham Khorsandi (Cal Bar #266658) or Amir Boroumand (Cal Bar #269570) — before publication. The attorney listed as the page byline drafts or supervises the draft; the other attorney signs the reviewed-by attestation. Both Cal Bar licenses are verifiable on apps.calbar.ca.gov.

Do you use AI to write your content?

We use AI tools to assist with drafting, research summarization, and structural editing. We do not publish AI-generated text without a California-licensed attorney reading it line by line, removing inaccuracies, and adding case-specific judgment. The final accuracy of every page is owned by the attorney whose byline appears at the top. We disclose this here rather than hiding it because the legal accuracy of the content matters more than how the first draft was produced.

How do you fact-check tax-law claims?

Every cited statute is linked to its primary source — irs.gov for federal procedure, leginfo.legislature.ca.gov for the California Revenue & Taxation Code, the U.S. Code (law.cornell.edu) for IRC sections, and the relevant California or federal court opinion for case law. Dollar figures (CSED windows, penalty rates, OIC offer percentages) are cross-checked against the most recent Internal Revenue Manual section or IRS publication and dated. If a regulation has changed since publication, our updates policy applies.

How quickly do you correct mistakes?

If you find an error on any page — outdated statute, wrong citation, incorrect dollar figure, broken government link — email corrections@victorytaxlaw.com with the page URL and the specific item. We acknowledge within two business days and either correct the page or explain why the original was right. Corrections are noted in a visible "Updated" or "Last Reviewed" date at the bottom of each page. We do not silently rewrite history.

Why do you list two attorneys on each page?

Single-author legal sites are a weaker E-E-A-T signal than sites where a second attorney reviews each piece before publication. Listing both the writer and the reviewer on every page is honest about how our content gets made and lets readers verify two attorneys actually signed off. Our two Managing Attorneys — Parham Khorsandi and Amir Boroumand — alternate writer and reviewer roles across the page set.

How often do you update existing pages?

Each page carries a "Last Reviewed" date. We re-review pages on a rolling 12-month cycle, and out of cycle whenever (a) the IRS issues a new revenue procedure or notice that touches the page's subject, (b) Congress amends a cited IRC section, (c) the California legislature amends a cited R&TC section, or (d) a published court opinion changes how a cited section is interpreted. Inflation-indexed thresholds (e.g., IRC §7345 passport-revocation amount) are checked annually.

Does Victory Tax Lawyers pay for or accept paid placements in its content?

No. We do not accept paid sponsorships, affiliate fees, or pay-for-mention arrangements on any educational or service page. We don't link to other tax firms as endorsements. Any external links go to government sites (irs.gov, ca.gov, ustaxcourt.gov), primary law sources (law.cornell.edu, calbar.ca.gov), or our own internal pages.

Is the content on this site legal advice?

No. The pages on victorytaxlaw.com are educational. Reading a page does not create an attorney-client relationship with Victory Tax Lawyers, and the information cannot be applied to a specific situation without consulting an attorney who knows your facts. If you have a tax matter you need help with, call (800) 883-8301 or use the consultation form on this site — that conversation is the start of a possible representation, and the educational content is not.

What disclosures do you make about past results?

Any reference to a dollar amount of savings, a specific case outcome, or a settlement range on this site carries a past-results disclaimer adjacent to the figure. Past results do not guarantee future results — every IRS or California tax matter turns on its own facts, the taxpayer's compliance history, ability to pay, and current IRS or FTB policy. Aggregate firm statistics ($91 million in client relief, 2,000+ cases handled, 5.0/72 Google reviews) reflect cumulative work and are not predictive of any individual outcome.

Who do I contact for editorial concerns?

Email corrections@victorytaxlaw.com for factual errors. Email editorial@victorytaxlaw.com for broader concerns about content, source attribution, AI disclosure, or attorney attribution. Both inboxes are read by one of the two Managing Attorneys. For matters that need to escalate, you can also call the office at (800) 883-8301 and ask for the editorial review desk.
