We work hard to get things right, but no one is perfect, and the law in this area changes often. When we make a mistake, we want to fix it quickly and be open about it. This page explains how.
How to report an error
If you think something on this site is wrong, out of date or unclear, please let us know through our contact page. It helps if you can tell us which guide it is, which part looks wrong, and, if you have it, a link to a source that supports the correction. You do not need to be certain. If something does not look right to you, we would still rather hear about it.
How we handle corrections
We review every correction we receive against the original sources. If we confirm an error, we fix it as soon as we reasonably can. If we conclude the content is already correct, we will look at whether it could be made clearer, since confusion is often a sign the writing can be improved even when the facts are right.
Being open about changes
For minor fixes, such as a typo or a broken link, we simply make the change. For a correction that materially changes the meaning or the guidance in a piece, we update the “last reviewed” date and, where it is helpful to readers, note what changed. We do not quietly rewrite a guide and pretend the earlier version never existed.
Keeping guides current
Many “corrections” in this field are really updates, because a rule or a figure has changed. We review our guides on a regular cycle and whenever the law changes, which you can read more about in how we check our facts and our editorial standards.
