Who is this for?
$200K+ solo consultants — management, IT, marketing, strategy, fractional executives — operating Schedule C, single-member LLC, or S-Corp. If your net self-employment income clears $200K and you want reading-grade tax content (not generic 1040 tutorials), Tax-News is for you.
How is this different from the welcome drip on /?
Tax-News is a parallel signup that adds you to newsletter_subscribers with a pipeline_topic = 'tax-trends-2026' stamp. The / welcome drip remains the on-ramp for first-time visitors and the welcome/drip pipeline (subscribers) continues to drive Resend 5-step sends — Tax-News does not interfere.
Is it really free?
Yes. TaxStackHub monetizes via Pro subscriptions and CPA referrals, not newsletter resale.
