  • Hard Pass —> Worst Tax Podcast

    When one subscribes to a podcast to stay in touch with a specific topic, one expects said podcast to discuss that specific topic — this podcast constantly intermingles social justice political agendas with tax developments. Stay in your lane. If you want to increase your company’s ESG score, then make a leftist political podcast, but don’t mislabel it as a tax-technical podcast.

  • Tax code and economic justice

    Ugh.... next time actually include some worth while context from the tax code. Reiteration of economic gaps in the population is a known and well traveled path of conversation... was looking for how the tax code influenced this conversation beyond a singular example in the first time homebuyer credit

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Melbourne: Highlights From the 2026 IFA Congress
Q: Digital services taxation has been an issue that's come up at a lot of these conferences. And so has it been coming up at this one?
Yes. Delegates discussed the UN's planned economic impact analysis, concerns about gross-basis taxation, and IMF research finding destination-based VAT least distortive for taxing cross-border digital services.
From Melbourne: Highlights From the 2026 IFA Congress
Q: What were the biggest updates from the OECD and UN side?
The OECD plans to resume digital economy taxation discussions and consider tax issues arising from cross-border remote work, while the UN protocol emphasizes optionality in dispute resolution mechanisms.
U.S. States React to OBBBA: Conformity vs. Decoupling
Q: What are the provisions attracting the most potential for states to decouple from OB3, and how are states evaluating these options?
States consider the revenue impact, timing, and whether a provision primarily benefits manufacturers or other industries. They weigh whether to conform for fiscal reasons or to pursue policy objectives, with some states decoupling entirely from certain provisions while others selectively conform based on their specific economic makeup and reserves.
U.S. States React to OBBBA: Conformity vs. Decoupling
Q: Now, before we kind of get more into the specific stuff, what is the policy landscape of conformity and should states conform to the Federal Tax Code?
The panel discusses that conformity is generally favored by the business community, but there is a recognition that a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical given state budget needs and policy goals; administrators advocate for guidance and potential leadership to reduce a hodgepodge of state-specific rules, while acknowledging that some non-conformity may be necessary for state fiscal health.
Modernizing the IRS: What's the Plan?
Q: What drew you to look into this topic in the first place?
A 2022 IRS article indicating the home stretch of CAID 2 prompted us to investigate current status in 2026, followed by FOIA requests in late 2025 to illuminate what had happened since, including staff cuts and contract changes.
