    Great podcast over all. Could you do an episode on the Net Unrealized Appreciation. Specifically I have heard that there is tag saving on moving stock options after a trigger event to a brokerage account so potential tax savings. How would this change gross income in the year to pay less in taxes compared to other distribution methods. Thanks! Keep up the podcast.

  • Keep it focused on tax

    People get enough of the ultra woke mandatory training at the office, so they probably aren’t going to voluntarily listen to it here. I would think you want to keep it “tax technical” to keep your listener base in tact… just a suggestion.

  • EV credit - both sides of the debate

    Will you have a part II episode on the EV credit that discuss the point of view from the Republicans side? I think it would be beneficial to learn about this topic from both sides of the aisle. Thanks.

  • Color blind IRS episode

    Per the interview “there is no list of adults in the US”. Actually, that’s called the census. Yes the service should be blind. Tax returns should not be a demographic survey it should be about paying your taxes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Tax Administration Reforms Could Pass Congress This Year
Q: Yeah. So tell me about this legislation. You know, it sounds like it's still in very early stages in the Senate, but it's progressing, which is notable in 2026 whenever anything progresses in Congress these days.
The package is moving from a discussion draft to a formal bill, with the Senate favoring a comprehensive approach and the House pursuing smaller, one-off bills; momentum exists due to ongoing interest from tax writers and the desire to address broad issues like preparer standards, but timing remains uncertain because path differences must be bridged.
Accounting Firms Navigate Compensation as AI Tools Upend Work
Q: What should someone in a junior role do to maximize their market value in this AI-driven environment?
Be strategic about the types of work you pursue, negotiate for flexibility such as remote work when possible, and seek employers who follow transparent compensation practices and offer growth opportunities, including learning new AI-enabled workflows rather than just higher base pay.
Accounting Firms Navigate Compensation as AI Tools Upend Work
Q: What signs indicate AI is already affecting compensation and job roles in Big 4 accounting firms?
The data show faster salary growth at entry levels and more modest increases for managers and seniors, suggesting AI is reshaping tasks and the value of different roles rather than simply raising everyone's pay; firms are also revisiting how they benchmark and communicate pay to keep talent.
DOJ Tax Attorneys Focus on Immigration, Nonprofits After Shakeup
Q: Can you talk a little bit about what Pam Bondi's memo said?
The memo mandated the investigation and prosecution of organizations involved in what the administration defines as anti-American conduct.
DOJ Tax Attorneys Focus on Immigration, Nonprofits After Shakeup
Q: Have you noticed now that you're in private practice a change in how DOJ tax attorneys, a change in maybe their strategy or in what they seem to be focused on?
Kelly noted there is a larger focus on waste, fraud, and abuse with a leaner workforce, which imposes more challenges.
