Corrections Policy
This corrections policy explains how States News Journal handles errors in its state tax, wage and refund content. Accuracy matters because readers use our figures to make financial decisions.
How to report an error
Use our contact page. Include the page, the state, the figure and a link to the official source that shows the correct information.
How we review reports
An editor checks the report against the official source. We confirm the error before we change anything, and we usually reply within three business days.
How we correct content
- We fix confirmed errors on the page and update the check date.
- For a material error, we add a correction note that explains what changed.
- We update related pages that use the same figure.
Outdated information
State laws change often. We review figures on a regular schedule and after major changes. If you spot an outdated rate, tell us and we will check it.
