Previous guests of the “Simply Tax” podcast gather around the fire as host Damien Martin tells a classic story of the enactment and first year of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Listen to hear the story and guests of the following previous episodes: Episode 49: Tax Planning Questions for Businesses Episode 47: Tax Planning for High-Net-Worth Families After the TCJA Episode 46: Do You Have 199A Confusionosis? Episode 44: The R&D Tax Credit Episode 42: Cutting Through the Tax Static with Ed Karl Episode 39: Tax Technology of the Future Episode 38: Bonus Depreciation Regs & More Episode 36: Simply Small Business Taxpayer Accounting Methods Episode 35: The Proposed 199A Regulations with Tony Nitti Episode 27: The SALT Workarounds with Annette Nellen Episode 25: Ed Updates – IRS Reform & Guidance on the New Tax Law Episode 19: Tax Reform for Insurance Companies Episode 16: AICPA's 199A Task Force Episode 15: Tax Reform for Health Care Providers Episode 13: Tax Reform for Construction & Real Estate Episode 12: Ed Karl's Tax Reform Carnival Update Episode 11: The Twins on Tax Reform for Individuals Episode 10: The International Side of Tax Reform Episode 9: Tax Reform for Businesses Bonus Episode: CPA to CPA with Tony Nitti Episode 8: The Nitty Gritty—of Section 199A—with Tony Nitti Bonus Episode: Tax Bill Whack-A-Mole Bonus Episode: Latest from the Reform Roller Coaster Bonus Episode: Tax Framework with Ed Karl Episode 1: Talking Tax Reform with Ed Karl THE STORY ‘Twas the night before TCJA, when all through the House, A tax reform framework was stirring, with momentum moving quicker than a mouse; A budget resolution had just passed in Congress with care, In hopes that tax reform soon would be there; The stage had been set to use reconciliation by those who led, While visions of rate cuts danced in their heads; And Republicans in the House and the Senate moving ASAP, Remained committed to using the unified framework as a map, When on November 2nd there arose such a clatter, It was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was the matter! Away to the internet I flew like a flash, To open the bill that made such a splash. The text on freshly printed pages as white as snow Gave the luster of new tax changes offering so much to know, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But new provisions to add and amend the tax code as I sat down to read it with a beer, With the changes moving, so lively and quick, I still was not certain if these provisions would stick. More rapid than eagles the markups they came, And they passed different versions of the bill in the House and the Senate under the TCJA name; Now, Republicans! Now, Democrats! In a conference committee mixin’! On compromises! On changes! On things that needed fixin’! Back to the House and the Senate with time running small Now three last-minute changes that were then voted on by all, Including a name change that’s made the bill somewhat hard to identify, But around the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act name most seem to still unify. So after enactment on December 22nd tax advisors they flew, To their copies of the bill with highlighters and even hole punch reinforcers, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard tax advisors raise the roof The excitement of new code sections that arrived in a poof. Now after reading the TCJA, I knew that choice of entity was bound, To be a big deal with many significant changes now around. It was presented as simplification with reduced rates at its root, But is often complex when combined with the tax law that stayed put; A bundle of questions arose when tax advisors started to unpack The provisions of the newly enacted tax law with areas of uncertainty starting to stack. And the many significant international changes that can seem quite frankly scary! Actually, Chris Clifton of episode 10, would you explain while I refill my sherry? Now one thing that clearly began to show, Was each taxpayer’s situation is unique and tax planning for the TCJA could not be put on auto; A decision like charitable giving now has much more to consider, Like will you itemize, what are you giving and even what and how much do you plan to bequeath; And the new 20 percent deduction has led to many calls on the telly, With the definition of trade or business under §162 that can seem as fluid as a bowlful of jelly. Whether you get the deduction and what industry are important questions to ask yourself, For example, Brian Todd of episode 15, for health care would say it depends on the organization itself? And though the TCJA-related guidance so far has given much to put in our head, More from Treasury and the IRS is still needed and expected to come ahead; And though enhanced capital expensing is quite a perk, A technical correction for qualified improvement property would address issues that still lurk, And keep in mind under the TCJA some saw overall tax increases as their effective tax rate rose, Netting the effect of new limits on deductions with the beneficial changes is something you must juxtapose; To many tax advisors the TCJA can seem like a thistle, So I’d like frequent podcast guest Tony Nitti to offer some advice to those starting to bristle. So with that I’d like you to celebrate the one year of the TCJA with spirits that are bright, Happy TCJA to all, and to all a good night!  GET MORE “SIMPLY TAX” We’re excited to also provide video content to strengthen your tax mind!

The computer science community has had a growing research focus in Privacy over the last decade. Much of this has really focused on confidentiality: Anonymization, computing on encrypted data, access control policy, etc. This talk will look at a variety of research results in this area, including “weaker” approaches than the absolutes typically considered in the security community, and how they all come down to the same basic concept of providing confidentiality. Privacy is much more complex. People are often willing to allow use of their data – but not just for anything. This talk will look at such other privacy issues, such as harm to individuals and society from the fear of disclosure or misuse of private data. The talk will conclude with ideas for new research directions in privacy.

People are often willing to allow use of their data – but not just for anything. This talk will look at such other privacy issues, such as harm to individuals and society from the fear of disclosure or misuse of private data. The talk will conclude with ideas for new research directions in privacy. About the speaker: Dr. Clifton works on data privacy, particularly with respect to analysis of private data. This includes privacy-preserving data mining, data de-identification and anonymization, and limits on identifying individuals from data mining models. He also works more broadly in data mining, including data mining of text and data mining techniques applied to interoperation of heterogeneous information sources. Fundamental data mining challenges posed by these applications include extracting knowledge from noisy data, identifying knowledge in highly skewed data (few examples of "interesting" behavior), and limits on learning. He also works on database support for widely distributed and autonomously controlled information, particularly issues related to data privacy.Prior to joining Purdue, Dr. Clifton was a principal scientist in the Information Technology Division at the MITRE Corporation. Before joining MITRE in 1995, he was an assistant professor of computer science at Northwestern University.

Secure multiparty computation (MPC) and differential privacy are two notions of privacy that deal respectively with how and what functions can be privately computed. In this talk, I will first give an overview of MPC and differential privacy. Then, I will show how to build a two party differentially private secure protocol in the presence of semi-honest and malicious adversaries.Computing a differentially private function using secure function evaluation prevents private information leakage both in the process, and from information present in the function output. However, the very secrecy provided by secure function evaluation poses new challenges if any of the parties are malicious. We then relax the utility requirement of computational differential privacy to reduce computational cost, still giving security with rational adversaries. Finally, we provide a modified two-party computational differential privacy definition and show correctness and security guarantees in the rational setting. About the speaker: Balamurugan Anandan is a PhD candidate in Computer Science from Purdue University and works with Prof. Chris Clifton. He received his bachelor's degree in computer science from Kongu Engineering College, India in 2005 and MS in computer science from Purdue University in 2013. His research interests is in the intersection of data mining and privacy, specifically focussing on developing privacy preserving protocols.

Privacy has been a hot issue since early 2000s, in particular with the rise of social network and data outsourcing. Data privacy is a big concern in data outsourcing because it involves sharing personal data with third parties. In this talk, I will give an introduction to data privacy on topics such as privacy standards, data anonymization techniques, and data anonymization usage in data outsourcing and data mining. Then, I will present our work in data mining using anonymized data. We propose a data publisher-third party decision tree learning method for outsourced private data. The privacy model is anatomization/fragmentation: the third party sees data values, but the link between sensitive and identifying information is encrypted with a key known only to data publisher. Data publishers have limited processing and storage capability. Both sensitive and identifying information thus are stored on the third parties. The approach presented also retains most processing at the third parties, and data publisher-side processing is amortized over predictions made by the data publishers. Experiments on various datasets show that the method produces decision trees approaching the accuracy of a non-private decision tree, while substantially reducing the data publisher's computing resource requirements. About the speaker: Koray is a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University. He is currently a member of the privacy preserving data mining lab under the supervision of Chris Clifton. His research elaborates the data mining models from the anonymized data. The challenge in his research is the injected uncertainty into data because of anonymization methods. In most cases, uncertainty slows down the data mining models and require special mechanisms to exploit noisy data. His work includes learning algorithms such as k-NN classification, SVM classification, decision tree classification and frequent itemset mining.Koray received his masters degree in Computer Science from Purdue University and his undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering from Galatasaray University. Throughout his masters degree, he studied on data mining and social fairness, and authored papers in this topic. Before joining to Purdue CS, he did his research in semantic web area. He was a former member of Complex Networks lab in Galatasaray University where he worked in developing a new automatic web service annotation tool.

A concealed carry permit holder walking into a Walmart was tackled and stripped of his pistol by someone who saw him putting it on in the parking lot. This video brings up a lot of things that both concealed and open carriers need to be aware of: No matter how you carry, you should have a means to retain your weapon in a fight. In the video the victim is attacked, and instead of trying to retain his pistol, he attempts to ward off the attack. Thankfully the person that attacked him wasn’t trying to kill him, because once the attacker took his weapon, he could have easily done so. If you open carry, you should really do so in a holster that has active retention. I really like the Safariland ALS series of holsters, and I abhor the Blackhawk SERPA. For more on why the SERPA isn’t recommended and weapon retention, check out Episode 85 of the podcast with Chris Clifton from Defense Concepts NC. Sometimes folks categorize open carry as the “easier” way to carry, since they don’t have to put on an extra layer to cover the pistol, or shop for a comfortable holster, etc. You can open carry just about any pistol in just about any holster, although as I mentioned above, getting some type of quality retention holster is a good idea. Open carry shouldn’t be the easier way to carry, because when your pistol is hanging on your hip, you need to be extra aware of who is around you, who is getting close to your pistol, and be ready to retain it should an attack happen.

Housekeeping I’m soliciting some feedback from those of you who purchased shirts from the last run of green/blue/white shirts. How are they holding up? How was your experience with the vendor that printed and shipped the shirts? Would you buy them again? Anything else I need to know? Basically, I’ve been a little disappointed with the latest run of shirts, and I’ve caught wind that some others were as well, so I want to get as much feedback on them from those of you who purchased them as I can so I can decide whether or not to use this vendor again in the future. Shoot an email to , or leave a comment below this post. The News IDPA has announced that the Compact Carry Pistol division is official. It’s going to be for pistols with a 4.1″ or shorter barrel length, and pistols will be limited to 8+1 capacity. Ben wrote a more in-depth post about it here, and the discussion in the comments is worth a read as well. “Just the Plug of the Week” This week we combined the “Just the Tip” and “Plug of the Week” segments into one. The tip part is in regards to this video of a girl being put into the trunk of her car and driven away by a gun wielding assailant. The plug portion goes to friend of the show Andrew Branca (Law of Self Defense) for his comment on the above post. He makes a really good point that I wanted to share: And don’t ever, ever, ever let the bad guy take you to another location. That new location will NOT be more favorable to your long term survival than wherever you are currently at. I will absolutely let myself be shot before I will let myself be abducted. If they want to drag my 200lb+ carcass around with them, fine. But I will be 100% non-compliant. And perhaps have an opportunity to change the course of events while being non-compliant. This all applies more particularly to women, of course. You’re almost certainly better off taking a bullet on the sidewalk than stepping into that van. –Andrew, @LawSelfDefense Contact (919) 295-6128

Differential privacy is a very powerful approach to protecting individual privacy in data-mining; it's also an approach that hasn't seen much application outside academic circles. There's a reason for this: many people aren't quite certain how it works. Uncertainty poses a serious problem when considering the public release of sensitive data. Intuitively, differentially private data-mining applications protect individuals by injecting noise which "covers up" the impact any individual can have on the query results. In this talk, I will discuss the concrete details of how this is accomplished, exactly what it does and does not guarantee, common mistakes and misconceptions, and give a brief overview of useful differentially privatized data-mining techniques. This talk will be accessible to researchers from all domains; no previous background in statistics or probability theory is assumed. My goal in this presentation is to offer a short-cut to researchers who would like to apply differential privacy to their work and thus enable a broader adoption of this powerful tool. About the speaker: Christine Task is a PhD candidate in the Computer Science department of Purdue University, and a member of CERIAS. She has five years experience teaching discrete math and computability theory at the undergraduate level. Her research interests are in differential privacy and its application to social network analysis, and her research advisor is CERIAS fellow Chris Clifton.

There have been significant research developments in technology to protect privacy. Unfortunately, few of these have made the transition to practice. A large part of the problem is the lack of an accepted way to measure privacy. Legal and regulatory terms do not translate well into technological solutions, and the plethora of technical approaches do not seem to resonate with privacy advocates. This talk will discuss issues and challenges, with examples of the reason why a clear standard is difficult. A risk-based approach will be presented that allows anonymization based on controlling the potential damage from disclosure. This approach will be compared with more traditional anonymization measures, showing the difficulty of measuring the potential for harm from those measures. This represents joint work with Mehmet Ercan Nergiz (Purdue University) and Maurizio Atzori (University of Pisa).

Computer systems ease the sharing and use of information, but accessibility of information leads to privacy concerns. Technology is being developed to address this issue - enabling use of information while controlling the disclosure. But is this enough to protect privacy? How do we even know if it is enough? This talk will survey recent developments in privacy and anonymity technology, emphasizing the variety of privacy definitions, their benefits, and their weaknesses.
