  • Content is good, production quality lacking

    Great content. However still baffled why the AICPA is producing podcasts that sound like they’re on speakerphone. Time to give your host a quality microphone like any other podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Protective claims, client alerts and Kwong: A practitioner playbook
Q: What practical steps should practitioners take in the short term?
Identify affected clients, issue concise client alerts, quantify potential benefits with a clear, data-backed assessment, and prepare to move quickly around the July 10, 2026 deadline.
AICPA experts discuss minimum standards for tax preparers
Q: How might the SAFE Act and mailbox rule provisions affect day-to-day tax preparation?
The SAFE Act provisions would allow extensions to be filed without full final data, using prior-year information or safe estimates, reducing penalties and easing the administrative burden for preparers and clients during peak filing periods.
AICPA experts discuss minimum standards for tax preparers
Q: What are the GAO recommendations and how do they connect to current policy proposals?
The GAO recommendations call for minimum professional standards for tax preparers and greater IRS oversight, which the AICPA position supports; the TAS Act and related provisions are seen as mechanisms to implement those standards and grant the IRS enforcement tools.
Tariffs on Trial: What the Supreme Court Ruling Means for Tax Practitioners
Q: What changes occurred in tariffs after the ruling and what should practitioners watch next?
Post-ruling, new tariffs under Section 122 were introduced with initial 10% and potential 15% tariffs; there may be further expansion under Section 232 and 301 as investigations proceed. Practitioners should monitor these developments, assess which products are affected, and advise clients accordingly.
Tariffs on Trial: What the Supreme Court Ruling Means for Tax Practitioners
Q: What should practitioners tell importer clients about refunds and next steps?
Practitioners should emphasize that refunds are not guaranteed yet, advise clients to preserve records, engage with specialized counsel, and prepare to pursue potential refunds through appropriate channels as procedures are clarified by courts and agencies.
