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.

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.

Tariffs on Trial: What the Supreme Court Ruling Means for Tax Practitioners

Q: Tell us about the Supreme Court's tariff ruling and its immediate implications for IEPA tariffs.

The ruling invalidated IEPA tariffs as an executive action, reinforcing that Congress has to authorize tax-like tariffs, and signaling a strong view against executive overreach in this area. It also clarified that refunds may be possible, though the process remains unsettled and will likely be handled by lower courts or specific refund mechanisms.

Name, image, likeness — and taxes: What NIL means for student athletes and CPAs

Q: What do you think the most important step is as tax advisors and tax practitioners to prepare for these potential complications?

Educating clients on NIL taxation and creating proactive marketing strategies to help student athletes navigate these complexities is key.

Name, image, likeness — and taxes: What NIL means for student athletes and CPAs

Q: What would your recommendation be if you had a client who has this issue? How are you thinking about this and treating this income?

Scholarships are typically taxable, and many forms of student income will be subject to income and potentially self-employment tax as well.
