The short answer

Answer questions as a helpful community member with required flair, avoid mentioning or linking to your product/company, and direct people to general resources or the wiki instead of soliciting business.

What works here

  • Answering tax questions and providing general guidance
  • Posting news or discussion with the required flair
  • Referring users to wiki/official IRS resources

What gets posts removed

  • Promotional posts, solicitations, or marketing of services/products
  • Using subreddit content to recommend or market tax arrangements
  • Posting direct contact links or recruiting clients without permission

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

Spam policy / removal

The rules state 'Spam gets vigorously reported on /r/IRS and will be taken down.' indicating anti-promotion enforcement.

Disclaimer forbids promotion

Wiki/sidebar disclaimer says subreddit content 'may not be used... to support the promotion or marketing' and prohibits using the subreddit to promote tax arrangements without written permission.

Conduct / impersonation rule

Rule forbids misrepresenting affiliation or impersonating entities, which restricts vendor self-identification and outreach.

Posting requirements / flair

Posts must use one of the specified flairs and follow topic guidelines, so promotional content would not fit allowed post types.
