Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: September 11, 2026
How FiscTalk is funded today
FiscTalk is a free, reader-supported site. At the time of writing it is funded solely by Google AdSense display advertising. We do not currently use affiliate links, we do not sell leads to tax preparers, and we do not accept sponsored conclusions. This matches the statement on our About page.
What "affiliate links" would mean
An affiliate link is a special URL that identifies FiscTalk as the referrer. If we ever joined an affiliate program (for example, a tax-software company) and you clicked one of those links and then signed up or made a purchase, we might earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. Compensation like this is common across the web and never changes the price you pay.
Our commitment if we add affiliate links
- We will only recommend products or services we believe are genuinely useful to our readers.
- Pages that contain affiliate links will carry a short notice near the top, and the links themselves will be marked as sponsored where applicable.
- Our calculators, datasets, and editorial content will stay independent of any advertiser or partner. Affiliate relationships will not influence the figures we show or the order in which options are presented.
- We will disclose any such relationship here and in the site footer, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines.
