00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.502
Five hundred and sixty-four pages.

2
00:00:01.502 --> 00:00:03.605
I'll tell you why it's that long.

3
00:00:03.605 --> 00:00:05.407
Most tax books pick a lane.

4
00:00:05.407 --> 00:00:08.712
They do compliance — here's how to fill in the form.

5
00:00:08.712 --> 00:00:11.716
Or they do planning — here's how to pay less.

6
00:00:11.716 --> 00:00:15.922
Or they do resolution — here's what to do when it's already gone wrong.

7
00:00:15.922 --> 00:00:18.025
But that's not how a life works.

8
00:00:18.025 --> 00:00:25.835
The person who's behind this year was doing fine three years ago, and the person doing fine right now is one bad quarter from a notice.

9
00:00:25.835 --> 00:00:28.840
It's one arc, so I wrote it as one arc.

10
00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:31.543
Every figure in here is verified against the code.

11
00:00:31.543 --> 00:00:37.251
Not against what somebody remembered from a seminar, and not against a blog post from before the law changed.

12
00:00:37.251 --> 00:00:43.860
The tax code was rewritten on July fourth of twenty twenty-five, and most of what's on the internet still hasn't caught up.

13
00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:45.663
Here's what I'd tell you honestly.

14
00:00:45.663 --> 00:00:48.967
Some people will read this and realize they don't need me.

15
00:00:48.967 --> 00:00:50.169
That's a fine outcome.

16
00:00:50.169 --> 00:00:52.272
It's the outcome I wrote it for.

17
00:00:52.272 --> 00:00:53.173
Read the sample.

18
00:00:53.173 --> 00:00:58.280
Read the excerpt. The free sample is the front matter — not Chapter 1.
