Is SAWD built for couples and families?

Yes. SAWD is purpose-built for the household unit - married couples filing jointly or separately, multi-member families, parents planning for children, and multi-generational wealth. The platform models married filing jointly vs. separately simultaneously and recommends whichever saves more.

What happens to my financial ledger when I pass away?

Your designated beneficiaries and heirs inherit access to your SAWD ledger - every document, every tax filing, every asset record - organized, verified, and legally accessible. The Legacy Vault triggers automatically upon verified conditions you configure.

Is my family's financial data secure in SAWD?

Yes. SAWD uses AES-256-GCM encryption, TLS 1.3, and a post-quantum hybrid cryptographic stack (ML-KEM-768 + ML-DSA-87 per NIST FIPS 203/204). Every action is logged in a tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chain. Your data is never sold or used for advertising.

How is SAWD different from TurboTax, Monarch, or Copilot?

TurboTax is DIY tax software with no CPA. Monarch and Copilot are spending and budgeting dashboards with no tax filing or CPA layer. SAWD is different: AI prepares your return, a credentialed CPA signs every filing, and your entire household's finances live in one permanent immutable ledger built for families and their heirs.

What states does SAWD support for tax filing?

Private beta (May 2026) supports federal returns plus Virginia, Maryland, and DC. National rollout covering all 50 states is planned for Q3-Q4 2026, beginning with Florida, Texas, California, New York, and North Carolina.

What is a family wealth ledger?

A family wealth ledger is a single, immutable record of every financial event in a household - across every member, every account, and every generation. It includes bank reconciliations, investment transactions, tax filings, CPA sign-offs, and beneficiary designations, with each entry timestamped and anchored to a cryptographic proof. SAWD is the first commercial implementation of this category.

How is SAWD different from a family office?

A traditional family office requires $25M+ in assets and costs $1M+/year in staff. SAWD delivers the core function of a family office - unified household ledger, CPA-supervised tax preparation, beneficiary management, and estate handover readiness - for $15/month per household, plus filing fees.
