Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"One Big Beautiful Bill" & R&D Tax Credits: What CPAs Need to Know
Q: How should a company with prior 174 claims approach amendments for 22–24 and the 2025 year?
Evaluate whether to amend 22–23 to claim credits or 100% deductions, apply the 3115 to change accounting methods for 174, and consider a catch-up on 25; maintain consistency across all years and assess whether the eligible small business route is advantageous.
"One Big Beautiful Bill" & R&D Tax Credits: What CPAs Need to Know
Q: What stood out most in OB3 from a planning perspective?
The permanency and broad applicability of the changes, especially the shift from temporary relief to a stable framework that allows immediate expensing for many taxpayers, plus the ability to plan with more certainty for 2025 and beyond.
“One Big Beautiful Bill” & International Tax: What CPAs Need to Know
Q: How does FIDI relate to ICDISC in export scenarios for a US C-corp?
FIDI provides a permanent export-related deduction for export activities, while ICDISC offers another route that can be beneficial for the US corporate structure; they can be used concurrently in some cases to create a form of tax arbitrage, though the interaction depends on the ownership and the specific flow of income.
“One Big Beautiful Bill” & International Tax: What CPAs Need to Know
Q: Can you give me a quick scenario of when NICTEA is going to come into play?
A US company expanding into Europe, with a German subsidiary generating income taxed in Germany, would see immediate US taxation under NICTEA/GILTI; taxes paid in the foreign jurisdiction accelerate in the US, but distributions back to the US won't be taxed again, enabling faster recognition of tax obligations without double taxation.
Why Data Might Be the Most Underrated Growth Tool in Your CPA Firm
Q: What is the ROI timeline for data management initiatives?
ROI typically emerges over two to three years, with the initial year focusing on implementation and the following years delivering optimization and strategic insight.
