# Getting support at Filed

Filed offers a Help Center for self-serve answers and two direct channels for personalized assistance.

## Support channels

### Help center

The primary self-serve resource is the Help Center at [help.filed.com](https://help.filed.com). It covers integrations, workspace settings, the AI tax preparation workflow, troubleshooting, and more. Start here for any question, because many common issues are answered in a searchable article.

### In-app chat widget

When you are logged in to Filed, a chat bubble appears in the bottom-right corner of every page. This is the preferred channel for direct support, because the widget automatically identifies your workspace and the context you are working in. That context lets the support team understand your situation and respond more quickly without asking follow-up questions.

### Email support

You can also reach the team at <support@filed.com>. Email is most useful when you are not logged in to Filed or need to send a longer written description of an issue. For anything requiring the team to look up your account or a specific return, the in-app chat widget is faster because it shares that context automatically.

## What to include in a support request

Including the right context upfront reduces back-and-forth and speeds up resolution. Whenever you contact support, include:

* **Workspace name** - the name of your firm's Filed workspace
* **Client or return context** - the client name or return identifier you are asking about
* **Expected vs. actual behavior** - a clear description of what you expected to happen and what happened instead
* **Screenshots or a screen recording** - a visual showing the issue in context is often the fastest way for the support team to understand and reproduce what you are seeing

If you are reporting an AI tax preparation issue on a specific return, the [Filed Feedback Program](/reference/support/filed-feedback-program.md) is the right channel for that, as it routes submissions directly to the tax engineering team.

## Response times

The Filed support team aims to respond in real time whenever possible. Responses outside business hours or across time zones may take longer, but the team commits to replying as soon as possible.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.filed.com/reference/support/getting-support-at-filed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
