Authority Explanation

Independent Evidence Records for Tax Case Work

Verified Proof exists to document what work was performed, within what scope, and what evidence supports that work — independent of IRS decisions or outcomes.

Tax case work is inherently open-ended, multi-year, and subject to third-party delay. Verified Proof does not evaluate results. It records evidence of work performed and identifies what is documented, incomplete, or missing at the time of issuance.

Verified Proof creates a neutral, immutable record that can be relied upon by firms, clients, and third parties without interpretation.

Why Firms Use Verified Proof

  • 01To document scope clearly and prevent post-hoc scope disputes
  • 02To establish a third-party record of work performed
  • 03To separate firm performance from IRS outcomes
  • 04To create defensible artifacts for audits, disputes, and client inquiries
  • 05To reduce internal compliance and documentation risk

What Verified Proof Is

  • A neutral documentation authority

What Verified Proof Is Not

  • ×Not a tax relief firm
  • ×Not legal or tax advice

Common Objections & Responses

Factual responses to common questions from partners, compliance teams, and decision-makers.

Why can't we just email the documents to the client?
Emailing documents does not create a neutral record. Verified Proof documents what existed, when it existed, and within what scope — independently of the firm or client.
We already document everything internally.
Internal documentation does not establish independence. Verified Proof provides an external, immutable record that is defensible beyond internal systems.
Does this mean you're verifying IRS approval?
No. Verified Proof does not verify IRS decisions or outcomes. It documents evidence of work performed and identifies what is and is not supported by documentation.
Isn't this just another compliance tool?
Verified Proof does not impose compliance requirements. It records evidence and scope. Firms control what is submitted and when records are issued.

How Firms Justify Verified Proof Internally

  • Reduces ambiguity about what work was performed
  • Establishes record of evidence reviewed and scope confirmed
  • Creates closure on case documentation at point of issuance
  • Cost of disputes exceeds cost of verification at scale
