How sponsored guides work

Our complimentary guide, Before You File, is often offered on behalf of a participating financial professional who sponsors the campaign. When that is the case, the sponsor is named on the page before you submit any information, and your request is shared only with that sponsor.

What we don’t do

• We don’t promise higher benefits or specific financial results.
• We don’t enroll you in text-message marketing.
• We don’t require marketing consent to receive the guide.
