Corrections

Report a correction

Report a wrong citation, missing exception, outdated rule, misleading qualification, wrong date, or broken official link. Include the page URL, the sentence at issue, and the official source that supports the correction.

The report is sent to the site's first-party receiver. The page URL can be pre-filled from a guide's “Report a correction” link. We do not store report text in analytics.

How reports are handled

1. The affected page and sentence are identified.
2. The cited source and any controlling source are checked.
3. The practical effect of the error is assessed.
4. Material corrections are applied, dated, and added to the guide changelog.
5. Related guides are checked when the same source or rule affects them.
6. The correction history is preserved.

A material correction changes the practical meaning of a guide, such as a wrong legal conclusion, missing exception, wrong effective or expiration date, or wrong citation. Wording and typography changes are handled without a changelog entry when they do not change meaning.
