Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 6, 2026
Overview
Tax Relief 101 (“we,” “our,” “us”) operates the website taxrelief101.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
We do not sell, share, or distribute personal information to third-party marketers, lead aggregation services, or data brokers.
Information We Collect
Information You Do Not Need to Provide
All educational content, guides, glossary entries, and reference materials on this site are freely accessible without creating an account, providing an email address, or submitting any personal information.
Calculator Data
All interactive calculators (OIC Eligibility, CSED Clock, Expense Standards Lookup) run entirely client-side in your browser using JavaScript. No financial data, income figures, asset values, or personal information entered into any calculator is ever sent to our servers, stored in any database, or transmitted to any third party. When you close the browser tab, the data is gone. This is by design.
Analytics Data
We use Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data including page views, browser type, device type, and general geographic region. This data does not identify individual users and is used solely to improve site content and performance.
How We Use Information
- To provide and improve our educational content and calculators
- To understand which topics and tools are most useful to visitors
- To facilitate professional referrals when explicitly requested by the user
- To comply with legal obligations
What We Do Not Do
- We do not sell personal information to any third party
- We do not operate as a lead aggregator or lead generation service
- We do not use robocalls, automated voicemails, or unsolicited communications
- We do not require personal information to access educational content
- We do not store financial data entered into calculators on our servers
Professional Referrals
When a user explicitly requests a professional analysis through one of our calculator tools, the financial data they entered is transmitted to a licensed tax resolution professional. This transfer only occurs when the user clicks a clearly labeled button indicating their intent to seek professional assistance. See our referral policy for more details.
Cookies and Tracking
We use essential cookies for site functionality and analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics) for aggregate usage statistics. You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to access any content on this site.

AI and Machine-Readable Access
We publish llms.txt and llms-full.txt files at taxrelief101.com/llms.txt to provide AI systems with a structured summary of our site content. These files contain only our publicly available educational content summaries, URLs, and disclaimers. They do not contain any user data, analytics, or personal information.
Data Security
This site is served over HTTPS with TLS encryption. We do not maintain a database of user accounts or personal information. Calculator data processed in the browser is not persisted.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
