Federal Tax Procedure Book 2025 Editions Updates (8/9/25)


Federal Tax Procedure 2025 Editions Cumulative Updates 
(Click on the Links to Go to Blog Entry with Update)

This page is to post significant changes to the 2025 editions as I revise the working draft for the 2026 editions.   I make hundreds of changes during the year, but post here only the significant changes.  Each time I add an entry for significant changes, I change the date in the title of this page presented in parenthesis. For each of the significant changes that warrant a blog entry, I collect the update blogs in a search on labels titled "FTPB 2025 Updates," here.

Keep in mind that, since the updates are from the 2026 working draft which has a lot of changes from the 2025 editions, the page numbers will not be the same as in the 2025 editions and any links to other parts of the book will not be the same as in the 2025 editions.
