Determining the length of a book is a simple matter . . . just open the back cover and look at the last page for the answer. Not so with the U.S. tax code, apparently. Google the question, "How many pages in the tax code?" Many answers appear. It could be as many as 75,000 pages, or just a few percentage points of that number, depending on who is answering the question and the motive for obtaining your acceptance of the answer. However, according to an official IRS site(see link below) regardless of the number of pages or words, the code is unbelievably confusing . . . even to so-called experts.
