NAEA President Jennifer MacMillan joins Roger and Annie to talk about what she's hearing from enrolled agents on the front lines this tax season — including an IRS that's putting undertrained staff on the phones, backlogs that aren't getting resolved, and one practitioner who made 25 calls on a single issue without ever getting an answer. They also dig into the bipartisan push for minimum preparer standards, NAEA's win on Oregon licensing, and why Jennifer thinks managing client expectations around social security, tips, and overtime is going to be one of the biggest challenges of the season.SponsorsPadgett - Contact Padgett or Email Jeff PhillipsGet NASBA Approved CPE or IRS Approved CELaunch the course on EarmarkCPE to get free CPE/CE for listening to this episode.Links mentioned in this episodeChapters(00:00) - Welcome to Federal Tax Updates (03:55) - Jennifer's Journey (05:55) - Selling a Tax Practice the Smart Way: Timing, Systems, and Profitability (08:36) - What NAEA Offers: Community Support, Web Board, and Member Resources (09:54) - IRS Service Breakdown: Phone Lines, Staffing Losses, and Backlog Reality (12:43) - Real-World IRS Call Horror Stories: POA Issues, Callbacks, and TAS Limits (15:09) - Returns & Refunds: E-File Works—But Humans and Paper Still Slow Everything (16:34) - Managing Client Expectations in a Misinformation Tax Year (20:32) - Pricing Your Expertise: Value Billing, Fee Schedules, and Getting Paid for Knowledge (26:30) - Why Community Matters + The Accounting Today Webinar Recap (28:43) - Tax season prep: new laws, IRS notices & online accounts (30:59) - DC advocacy + NAEA Fly-In (May 5–6): what to expect (32:05) - Minimum standards for paid preparers: the bipartisan push (34:50) - Why regulation matters: tax gap, weak enforcement & bad actors (41:18) - State battles: Oregon licensing surprise + Minnesota win (48:09) - Join NAEA: member benefits, volunteering & community (51:07) - Wrap-up: upcoming topics and tax-season sendoff Follow the Federal Tax Updates Podcast on Social Mediatwitter.com/FedTaxPodfacebook.com/FedTaxPodlinkedin.com/showcase/fedtaxpodConnect with the Hosts on LinkedInRoger HarrisAnnie SchwabReviewLeave a review on Apple Podcasts or PodchaserSubscribeSubscribe to the Federal Tax Updates podcast in your favorite podcast app!This podcast is a production of Earmark MediaThe full transcript for this episode is available by clicking on the Transcript tab at the top of this pageAll content from this podcast by SmallBizPros, Inc.

In this holiday edition and season finale of Between Bombs Ep. 320 Callbacks, Dan and Larry go back to their conversation with Cori Stewart to break down the unspoken rules of hosting and producing comedy. We talk about why stealing jokes, even as an intro, is a fast way to lose trust, how bringing comics up in weird ways derails a show, and why due diligence matters more than last-minute winging it. The big reminder of the episode: you're not the star, you're the manager, and strong callbacks only work when you respect the room and the comics in it.Our SponsorsVisit any of the following sponsors and use promo code "AOBPOD" at checkout to receive:20% off an item at Liqure Gummies: https://liqure.com/15% off an item at Old Glory: https://oldglory.com/20% off an item at Aspire Drinks: https://aspiredrinks.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-art-of-bombing-a-comedy-podcast--5788059/support.Art of Bombing:"Nobody Had a Podcast Called The Art of Bombing" Theme by John Hult https://johnhult.bandcamp.com/album/half-a-life-to-recoverWebsite: http://artofbombingpod.comLinks: https://linktr.ee/artofbombingpodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-art-of-bombing-a-guide-to-stand-up-comedy--5788059/support.Hosts:Dan Bublitz Jr: http://www.danbublitz.com/ Larry Smith: https://larrysmithcomedy.com/

In this episode of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar continues the Winter Business Series with Part 3: uncovering the hidden leaks that silently destroy profitability in your pool service business. If you've ever felt like you're working harder than ever but your bank account doesn't show it, this episode is for you. Edgar breaks down five of the biggest hidden profit leaks in a pool route: drive time and windshield time, chemical creep (especially in summer), non-billable labor and callbacks, bad route design, and overlooked office and equipment costs like tires, brakes, laptops, phones, software, and printers. He walks through real-world examples using cost-per-pool and burdened labor rate so you can see exactly how “small” inefficiencies quietly erase thousands of dollars in profit every year. You'll learn how to tighten your routes, track true chemical costs per stop, factor in non-billable time, and build office/vehicle replacement cycles into your pricing so unexpected breakdowns don't become financial emergencies. This episode sets you up for the next part of the series, where Edgar will dive into margins, good–better–best pricing, and how to build new rates for 2026 based on your real cost per pool. Whether you're just starting your pool route or you're scaling with multiple trucks and techs, this is a must-listen if you want to price profitably, protect your margins, and avoid burnout.

00:00:00 – 00:15:00 | Kickoff & Point Nemo Mysteries The show opens with the Wheel of Doom and immediate fire clips. First topic: Point Nemo, the most remote place on Earth, a graveyard for satellites and decommissioned spacecraft. Talk about the infamous “Bloop” sound recorded near it, and theories of a lost civilization like Lemuria. Jokes about astronauts being the closest humans and riffs on conspiracy lore about underwater cities. 00:15:00 – 00:30:00 | Walmart's Sinister Lighting & Obama Pizza Viral video about Walmart replacing store lights with 10,000 Kelvin blue spectrum bulbs. Hosts break down how it triggers fight-or-flight responses, manipulates shoppers, and stresses employees. Speculation on “dark forces” and corporate psyops. Next spin: Obama Pizza in Kaliningrad, Russia. Strange restaurant with Illuminati-style décor. Jokes about Russian pizza vs. New York pizza, and comparisons to Comet Ping Pong. Sam riffs about “Hitler Chicken” in Thailand. 00:30:00 – 00:45:00 | Moon Conspiracies & Saturn's Energy Deep dive into the idea the Moon is artificial: The Dogon tribe's lore about a time before the moon. Theories it was “implanted” and acts as an energy harvesting station tied to Saturn. John Lear's claim that souls are collected and stored on the Moon.

The theory: Rome conquered far more than we're told, or structures were repurposed from earlier civilizations. Discussion of the documentary The Old World Order and links to Tartaria resets. Speculation about world fairs as historical reprogramming. Plug for Mike's Our Big Dumb Mouth podcast. 01:00:00 – 01:15:00 | UFOs, Nuclear Secrets & Psyops A clip sparks talk about aliens monitoring nuclear weapons and strange cases at missile silos. Sam speculates this is a way governments mask their own secret tech. Mike dives into psyops layered on psyops, where even disclosure narratives are manipulated. They explore whether aliens, or just military shadow ops, are behind these stories. 01:15:00 – 01:30:00 | Wild Wrap-Up & Conspiracy Overload Rapid-fire final spins: strange viral clips, haunted AI mentions, and bizarre internet finds. Callbacks to earlier themes like Point Nemo, Walmart psyops, and the Moon as a soul trap. Closing energy: everything is connected through deception, technology, and mystery. They sign off with humor, chaos, and teasing more weirdness for the next episode.
