Two addresses, and no contact form. Email reaches a person; a form would just add a step.

Use this for anything to do with what is published:
- Corrections. A figure that is wrong, out of date, or no longer matches its cited source. The most useful report names the article, quotes the passage, and says where the correct figure is published. These are dealt with first.
- Suggestions. A question the guides do not answer, or a topic that should be covered.
- Permission requests. Republishing an article or substantial extract — say which article, the use, and where it would appear.
- Press and editorial enquiries.

Use this for data and cookies: a request under the UK GDPR, EU GDPR or CCPA, a question about advertising cookies or opting out, or a privacy complaint. The Privacy Policy sets out the rights and deadlines. Sending a privacy request to the editor address only slows it down.
What to expect, and when
Email is read within five working days, and most messages get a short reply in that time.
Corrections are faster when they are clear. A report naming the article and the source is usually checked and, if right, fixed the same week, with a dated note at the foot of the article. A report saying only "this is wrong" takes longer.
Formal GDPR or CCPA requests are answered inside the statutory deadline — one month for GDPR.
Not every message gets a reply. Marketing pitches, link-exchange proposals, requests to insert a link into an article, and sponsored post offers are read and deleted. No guest posts, no paid placements in the guides.
What cannot be answered
Individual tax or mortgage questions. Not "how much will I owe", not "will I qualify", not "should I take this loan", not "is my return right".
Not a brush-off. Two reasons.
Answering would be giving advice. Stateside Money is not a tax practice, a lender, a broker or a law firm — see the Disclaimer. Telling you what to do in your circumstances is regulated work, done by people carrying a licence and professional indemnity insurance. Nobody here does.
And the answer would probably be wrong. These questions turn on details nobody can see over email: residency and any treaty position, filing status, your full credit file, entitlement already used, which state you are in. A confident reply built on a paragraph of context is worth less than no reply.
The guides instead explain the rule, name its source, and set out what to ask a professional. Take the article to a CPA, an enrolled agent or a licensed loan officer. If a guide left you unable to work out which question to ask, that is the guide's failure — write to the editor address and say so.
