Find your way to the answer.

Sign in to Virtus with your firm’s account, ask a research question, and open the documents cited in the answer.

Starting a new workspace? Create account. Joining an existing workspace? Ask your workspace administrator for an invitation. Already invited? Sign in.

Type into the question box and press Enter. Any of these work:

A question in your own wordsWhat is gross income?

The workspace finds documents that use those terms and quotes their text.

A Code sectionsection 1362

Finds the section and documents that cite it.

An exact phrase"qualified appraisal"

Matches those words in the document text.

A document number202631001

Opens that ruling when it is in the library.

Choose a document type in the question box to narrow the search, or limit results by release date from the Search page.

Each answer quotes the retrieved source text, numbered to match its document in the Sources list. Page and section links open the original at that place. When no retrieved text supports an answer, the workspace says so instead of guessing.

Follow-up questions stay in the same conversation. A question about the documents you already have, such as “what page is that on?”, reuses them. A new question searches again and adds another answer.

When you open a cited document, its Answer tab continues the latest question from the conversation, and follow-ups asked there are answered from that document.

Documents open to the original PDF when one is available. Move between pages with the page controls, zoom to fit the page or width, and select text to copy it. Switch to readable text or source text at any time.

Pages transcribed from a scan are labeled as transcriptions, not official text. Download the original to keep the published document.

Select two to five documents in your results, then choose Compare to review them side by side. Each comparison field links to the page or section that supports it.

Save documents into research folders to keep work for a client or issue in one place, shared with your workspace. Archive a folder when the work is done; you can restore it later.

The Updates page lists documents recently added to the library.

IRS rulings are issued to one taxpayer and cannot be cited as precedent. A search match is not authority.

AI summaries and answers are generated text that cite the pages they come from.
