THE TAX CUTTERY® Letter
A federal tax letter — written and signed by one Enrolled Agent, not assembled by an unsigned staff. Essays argued to a thesis, cited to primary law, all grounded in the same 564-page Guide the firm practices from.
The tax code was rewritten in July 2025. Most of what you’ll read online still hasn’t caught up.

The book is a snapshot. The Letter is what happens after.
Tax law doesn’t sit still. It changed substantially in twenty twenty-five and it will change again, and the gap between what’s true and what people believe is where money quietly gets lost. A book can’t chase that. A letter can.
So this is what changed, what it means for actual people, and what I’d do about it. Written by me. Not curated links, not a roundup, not somebody’s newsletter with my name at the top.
It’s also, frankly, the easiest way to start a conversation with me. Plenty of people read for months, then write back about one paragraph that hit close to home, and that turns into a planning session — monthly, quarterly, once a year, whatever fits. That’s usually a better beginning than a cold call, for both of us.
No sequence. No funnel. If you reply, you’re replying to me.
If you’ve got the book, this is the part that keeps it current.
What the Letter is
A written piece on a national tax question, argued to a thesis and cited to primary law — not a roundup, not a listicle, not a generated post about five deductions you may have missed. The Snake series below is the house style. Read one and you will know within a paragraph whether this is for you.
Written and edited by Paul D. Diaz, EA, MBA — Editor.
Enrolled Agent, admitted to practice before the IRS. Every claim traceable to the Code, the regulations, or the case — which is the part an unsigned staff letter cannot offer you.
