When do Tax Brief emails go out?

Daily digests hit inboxes at 9:00 AM ET. Weekly wrap-ups land on Saturday mornings at 9:00 AM ET.

How does Tax Brief AI classification work?

GPT-4o analyzes each article to determine priority (Action Required, Heads Up, FYI), extracts deadlines, and generates a "Bottom Line" summary. If AI fails, we fall back to keyword classification for reliability.

What makes Tax Brief different from other tax newsletters?

We don't just send links. Every article includes who it affects (1040, 1065, etc.), a "Bottom Line" summary, deadline extraction, and one-click calendar integration.

Does Tax Brief cover state taxes?

Yes! We monitor California FTB, New York DTF, Texas Comptroller, and more. Articles are tagged by state relevance.

Is Tax Brief only for CPAs?

Built for CPAs, EAs, tax attorneys, and accounting firm owners. Anyone who needs to stay current on tax law.
