Community guidelines

How discussions work here, what is not allowed and how moderation, reporting and blocking work.

Policy · Version 1 · 2 min read · Reviewed by Meridian Review Team · Sep 15, 2026

Educational only

Discussions are for general learning. They are not a place for advice about your own return.

Please do not post

  • Social Security numbers, tax identification numbers, account numbers or card numbers.
  • Details from your return, a notice or a letter.
  • Anyone else's private information.

Moderators remove posts that contain personal tax details and tell you why.

Names

Use a pseudonym. Your display name is approved by a moderator and shown only if you choose to show it. By default you appear as an anonymous member.

Reporting and blocking

Report any post that breaks these guidelines. You can block a member at any time, and you will no longer see their posts.

Private questions

Personal questions belong in the secure portal with your preparer.

Consequences

Repeated violations can end your access to discussions.
