Human Review

Every finding crosses a credentialed desk.

No raw AI output reaches you. A licensed CPA, EA, or tax attorney reviews each flagged finding under Circular 230 — with their name, credential number, and timestamp recorded in your audit log.

The queue

What happens between AI and you.

A four-step queue with named accountability at every stage.

01

AI flags

Engine surfaces candidate findings with confidence scores and IRC citations.

02

Reviewer triage

A licensed reviewer claims findings from the queue, scoped to their credential.

03

Validate

Reviewer cross-checks facts, citations, and audit risk against the actual return.

04

Sign off

Findings approved, modified, or rejected — each with a signed timestamp in your audit log.

Credentials

Matched to your return's complexity.

Reviewer credentials are matched to the complexity of the return — never above the level required.

Certified Public Accountants

State-licensed under their respective Boards of Accountancy. Bound by Circular 230.

Enrolled Agents

Federally authorized by the U.S. Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS.

Tax Attorneys

JD-licensed counsel, on call for complex positions, audit defense, and entity questions.

Circular 230. All TaxScan reviewers operate under U.S. Treasury Department Circular 230 — the rules governing practice before the IRS. Every signed finding is auditable, time-stamped, and linked to the reviewer's credential of record.
