How do I know? Because virtually everyone with a decent income is paying too much in taxes.

Tom Woods here.

On some level we all know it. We know that if we really sat down and figured it all out, or if we hired just the right person, we'd finally stick it to the taxman and keep the greatest amount possible away from him.

But we don't do either of these things, because they seem (1) impossibly time-consuming or (2) expensive, so we just drift along.

Well, ol' Woods here knows the best of the best when it comes to pretty much everything, so we're going to solve this problem for you, starting immediately.

Because it's bad enough that you're not keeping enough of your income. It's even worse that the income you're not keeping is going to a destructive and vile institution that spreads violence and bloodshed throughout the world.

We've got to minimize that.

Most people never learn the actual rules of the game. They just pay whatever the software or their accountant tells them to pay, and hope for the best.

In fact, here's what many of you probably do:

• You take your documents to your accountant.
• He gets everything arranged appropriately for submission.
• Your tax documents get submitted.
• You are thereby in compliance, but no money has been saved.

That's why if you're going to save any money you need tax planning -- which is when you plan ahead for your situation and figure out proactively what it is you can do to reduce that tax liability.

Any of these sound familiar (from inside your brain)?

• “Now that I’m making good money, my tax bill is insane. Surely there's something I can do.”
• “I keep hearing that business owners can slash their taxes legally -- but how are they doing it?”
• “I don’t have time to wade through conflicting blog posts and YouTube videos.”
• “My accountant files my return on time, but I’m not sure he’s doing any actual planning.”
• “I invest regularly, but I’ve never thought systematically about taxes and after-tax performance.”
• “I don’t want shady tricks. I just want real strategies that work.”

We're going to solve all these problems at once. You know why? Because the whole situation is a moral outrage. This is not something you and I can say, well, I'll get to that someday. No! Deranged savages are expropriating you and threatening you with prison if you don't go along. Refusing to pay one cent more than is necessary to keep you out of prison is the absolute least we can do about the situation.

And we're doing it right now.

Introducing:
The Woods World Tax Strategy Intensive

I've called upon one of the sharpest tax strategists out there -- a man I've known for years, who loves freedom as much as you and I do, and who wants you keeping every last dime you can. He's going to deliver for us a no-fluff, 4-week masterclass that helps you do exactly that.

This isn’t about gimmicks, loopholes, or “aggressive” tactics that keep you up at night. It’s about the straightforward, legal strategies that smart people use to stop leaving tens of thousands (sometimes hundreds of thousands) of dollars on the table year after year for no good reason.

Each session will take place live, but you will of course have access to the recordings.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with after just four weeks:

• A clear understanding of what real tax planning actually is (and why almost nobody does it)
• The ability to look at your own income, investments, and business and immediately spot legal ways to pay less
• A new way of thinking about investing that focuses on what actually matters: after-tax returns (not the headline numbers everyone brags about)
• Practical business tax strategies that work whether you have a side hustle making a few thousand extra dollars or a full-scale business
• The confidence to have a much smarter conversation with your CPA -- and the knowledge to know if you need a better one
• A simple, coherent framework for money decisions so you stop guessing and hoping
• And instead of getting buried in trivia that barely moves the needle, the handful of high-leverage strategies that make the biggest difference

The goal here isn’t to turn you into a tax professional. It's to make sure you stop doing what almost everyone else does: overpaying, under-planning, and leaving substantial sums on the table.

Here’s the week-by-week breakdown:

Week 1 – Personal Tax Planning
The biggest personal tax mistakes aren’t exotic. They’re basic, and fixable.
In Week 1 you’ll learn: 

• The most important levers in personal tax planning (the ones that actually move the needle) 
• The critical difference between tax filing and tax planning (and why almost nobody does the second) 
• Decisions you can make this year that dramatically change what you owe next year 
• How to think clearly about deductions, credits, timing, and income structure 
• The most common ways everyday people overpay -- and exactly how to stop
• Plus live Q&A

Week 2 – Investing & Portfolio Strategy (After-Tax Wealth)
If you ignore taxes, you’re playing the wealth-building game on hard mode.
In Week 2 you’ll discover: 

• Why two people can earn identical gross returns yet end up in completely different financial positions 
• How taxes quietly erode compounding over decades 
• Portfolio principles that work whether you’re conservative or aggressive 
• Practical “do this, not that” guidance -- no academic theory, no Internet hype 
• How to align your investing with your tax planning for maximum effect
• Plus live Q&A

Weeks 3 & 4 – Business Tax Strategies
Here's where the tax code gets dramatically more flexible (and where bad advice hurts the most).
In Weeks 3 and 4 you’ll master: 

• What business owners and self-employed people can do that W-2 employees generally cannot 
• The highest-impact legal strategies for small business owners, contractors, consultants, and side hustlers 
• How to think about business structure and tax elections without unnecessary complexity 
• The classic mistakes people make as their income rises 
• How to stop accidentally creating unnecessary taxes through everyday business decisions 
• Strategies that work at “side hustle” scale today -- but become extremely powerful as your income grows
• Plus live Q&A

BONUSES

And of course, we've got some bonuses:

BONUS #1: 12 Months of Bookkeeping Buddy ($84 Value)

Most people overpay for bookkeeping -- or worse, they avoid it altogether and hope for the best.

Bookkeeping Buddy is the simple system Neal built for small business owners who want clean, audit-ready books without paying hundreds of dollars a month or spending their weekends buried in spreadsheets.

In about 5–10 minutes per month, you can:

• Track income and expenses correctly
• Keep business and personal finances cleanly separated
• Maintain records that actually hold up if the IRS ever asks questions
• Hand clean numbers to your CPA at tax time instead of a shoebox of receipts

This is the same system Neal uses with clients who want to stay compliant, reduce stress, and stop leaking money through sloppy records.

Normally, Bookkeeping Buddy costs $7/month or $49/year. When you join this masterclass, you’ll get 12 full months FREE.

That alone can save you hundreds of dollars a year in bookkeeping fees -- and far more in mistakes avoided.

BONUS #2: Real Estate Investment Tracker ($197 Value)

Real estate can be one of the most tax-efficient investments available -- if you document things properly.
Most investors don’t. So they leave deductions, classifications, and protection on the table.

This bonus includes two practical tools Neal built specifically for small and mid-size real estate investors who don’t want bloated, expensive property management software:

a. Real Estate Activity Log

This tool helps you accurately track time spent on your properties so you can:

• Substantiate material participation
• Support active participation deductions where applicable
• Lay the groundwork for real estate professional status if you’re pursuing it

It’s simple, defensible, and designed around what actually matters if your return is ever examined.

b. Real Estate P&L Generator

This lets you:

• Track income and expenses across multiple properties
• Generate clean, year-end profit & loss summaries
• Hand your tax preparer exactly what they need -- without paying for expensive software you don’t use

For investors with a handful of properties, this replaces tools that cost hundreds of dollars per year, while giving you exactly what matters for tax reporting.

Used correctly, this tracker can pay for itself many times over by helping you claim what the law already allows you to claim -- and defend it.

BONUS #3: Two free months of the Tom Woods School of Life -- my flagship community where my top people are making themselves unbreakable in a hostile world. ($194 value)

In addition to the accountability groups that are helping people lose 50 pounds, leave that soul-crushing job while maintaining their income, finish writing that book, etc., let me share some of what you'll find inside Bonus #3:

• ​The owner of a 7-figure cooking website, who taught us how she built it (and she happens to be one of our members) and what she recommends a beginner do
• ​An expert on getting other people to pay for your kids’ schooling (if you know where to look, you can start getting scholarships in first grade!)
• A former U.S. congressman, in fact the last Republican opponent of the Iraq war to retire, on relocation in an age of psychotic state governments
• Specific strategies to win in a blue state when you’re hopelessly outnumbered
• ​A hostage negotiator on how Harvard’s myths about negotiating, believed by everyone, are making you not get what you want — and how to turn that around
• ​A free-market professor from Columbia Business School (I promise he’s a good guy) who revealed the best investments for today’s upside-down world
• ​Harry Browne’s secret for becoming debt-free in just seven months
• How two working parents can homeschool their kids without stress
• How to master the rare skill that will get you ahead in business (and in life), and make you look like a boss to your friends (session 15; I teach you this myself!)

• How to de-program the heavily propagandized
• How to raise money to start a business and declare your independence
• The best-performing asset class of the past four generations — and it isn’t even close
• How about this one: how far you should live from a nuclear power plant (and did you know it depends on whether you’re east or west of the plant?)
• How not to write like a dork, and instead stand out from the pack with your writing (session 27, with New York Times bestselling author Tom Woods — that's me)
• How to quiet that inner critic that undermines your every move
• ​How to come up with a business idea you can implement and scale in record time
• ​The supposedly “dying industries” that are generating massive returns
• Fitness facts and fallacies: exercises that waste your time or risk injury, and exercises that actually help you make progress
• And a whole lot -- and I mean a whole lot -- more.

Back to the main course: most people never learn any of what you'll find inside this intensive. Who's going to teach it to them? They just keep paying what they’re told to pay and assume the system is too complicated to understand, or figure they just don't have the time or the resources to do it.

But you're part of Woods World, so you're not going to be defeatist like that, and you're certainly not going to do what everyone else does. That is the opposite of how we roll around here.

You didn't take that jab or wear that mask, so you're absolutely not paying one dime more than absolutely necessary.

There's nothing complicated in what Neal is going to teach. It's that the powers that be have no particular interest in going out of their way to tell you the kinds of things Neal will disclose in this intensive.

If you can't make the sessions live, don't worry: you'll have access to the recordings. But if you can attend live, you can get your questions answered.

Let's recap. You get:

• The Woods World Tax Strategy Intensive ($97 value)
• Twelve Months of Bookkeeping Buddy ($84 value)
• Real Estate Investment Tracker ($197 value)
• Two Months of the Tom Woods School of Life ($194 value)

REAL-WORLD VALUE: $572

YOU PAY: $97
