Federal Tax Data Editorial Team

Kiznis Studio

Background

Plaintaxdata, a data journalism portal published by Kiznis Studio, analyzes federal tax data from the IRS with a focus on tax brackets. The team creates content that is AI-assisted and human-edited, and does not accept payment from entities it covers. By using public government data, Plaintaxdata offers straightforward insights into federal taxation.

Editorial approach

The Plaintaxdata Editorial editorial process follows Kiznis Studio's Editorial Standards for Data Journalism. Every dataset we cover is traced back to its originating public source — federal agencies, state registries, or authoritative third parties — and we publish the provenance of each statistic so readers can verify it independently. We do not accept compensation, sponsorship, or influence from entities we cover.

When we present derived numbers (rankings, ratios, comparisons), the methodology page documents exactly how the figure was computed. If a number cannot be computed consistently across every entity in the dataset, we either disclose the gap or omit the comparison rather than present misleading data.

AI and automation disclosure

Kiznis Studio uses AI-assisted tooling for drafting, summarization, and pattern analysis, combined with human editorial review before publication. Data ingestion and computation are handled by deterministic pipelines — no language model is involved in producing the numeric values shown on data pages. Editorial explanations, framing, and context paragraphs may be AI-assisted and are then fact-checked, edited, and approved by a human editor prior to publication.

We publish this disclosure because Google Search Central — Helpful Content Guidance explicitly asks publishers to disclose automation usage and because we believe readers are entitled to know how editorial content is produced.
