Bob Kerr returns to break down his Tax Notes article on the IRS's Centralized Authorization File, the decades-old system that processes Forms 2848 and 8821 almost entirely by hand, now buried under 7 million forms a year at roughly 500 staff years and $50 million to run. He, Roger, and Annie get into why the backlog keeps growing, how practitioners can get ahead of it by putting 8821s on file early, and why transcripts belong in your current-year filing, not just your representation work.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.Read Bob's Article https://www.taxnotes.com/tax-notes-federal/practice-and-procedure/high-costs-irss-centralized-authorization-file-system/2026/04/06/7vjccChapters(00:00) - Welcome and Setup (02:36) - Why CAF Matters Now (06:54) - CAF Explained POA vs TIA (10:42) - Choosing 8821 vs 2848 (13:46) - Backlogs and Real Impacts (15:45) - Manual Processing Volume Surge (18:54) - Million Hours and 50M Cost (21:23) - Deadlines Snowball Effect (24:01) - CAF Volume Spiral (24:59) - Early Transcripts Benefits (28:33) - Client Use Cases (30:27) - Why IRS Can't Keep Up (39:13) - Train Clients and Set Expectations (43:33) - Transcripts Beyond Representation (44:32) - VITA Volunteering Insights (48:56) - Wrap Up and Thanks 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.

Intuit just cut 17% of its workforce, roughly 3,000 employees, and Alicia is joined by Dan DeLong and Matthew "Spot" Fulton to unpack what actually happened and why it isn't the AI story everyone assumed. Drawing on Dan's 18 years inside the company, they break down the real drivers behind the cuts, the unusually generous severance packages, the closing of the Reno and Woodland Hills offices, and the three big bets shaping Intuit's future. They also dig into the uncertain fate of MailChimp and what the mid-market pivot signals for ProAdvisors and the QuickBooks community.Sponsors:Aqqrue - http://uqb.promo/aqqrueC&R Consulting - http://uqb.promo/cnr(00:00) - Intuit Layoffs Overview (01:57) - Why Layoffs Happen (03:01) - Dan Layoff Story (04:58) - Restructure Not AI (06:23) - Details and Office Closures (09:42) - India and Global Impact (11:50) - Culture and Job Mobility (14:15) - Severance and Support (20:47) - Layoffs and Career Growth (24:42) - Letter Management Layers (29:03) - Customer Support Outsourcing (32:10) - Strategic Hubs and Remote Work (36:09) - TurboTax Credit Karma Merge (37:04) - Restructuring Around Customers (38:09) - Three Big Bets Explained (38:46) - AI Native Done For You (39:49) - Center Of Money Push (41:56) - Mid Market Expansion (43:22) - MailChimp Cuts And Risks (47:10) - Divestiture Rumors And AI (52:36) - SMB Churn And Competition (54:42) - Closing Thoughts And Thanks (55:41) - What's New With Hosts (56:16) - Scaling New Heights Plans (58:25) - Alicia Events And Training (01:01:35) - Awards And Final Wrap LINKSIntuit Account login episode: uqb.show/81 Dan's School of Bookkeeping course about Bulk Editing Data in QuickBooks: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/a/2148284044/FzeLMxRpSchoolofbookkeeping YouTube: https://snip.ly/SOBYTFree Live Workshop Wednesdays: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/workshop-wednesdayQB Power Hour: https://www.qbpowerhour.com/ Alicia's book on Amazon: http://royl.ws/conversion-bookJuly 21 through October 8: HANDS-ON QUICKBOOKS COMPLETE TRAINING COURSE, http://royl.ws/HOT2026?affiliate=5393907We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQBOPodcastSign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

Karl Paadam made partner at PwC Estonia at 26, spent a decade in tech, and came back to build United Accountants on a contrarian thesis: the future of accounting is human. He joins Blake to explain how a firm can hand bookkeeping, categorization, and reconciliation to an AI operating system that layers on top of whatever software a firm already runs, freeing CPAs to keep their local brand and focus on judgment and advisory work. They also get into outcomes-based pricing, what it means to build "the first big small firm," and why the accountant who ignores AI is the one who gets replaced.Chapters(00:00) - Welcome Karl Paadam to the Earmark Podcast (01:51) - Building a Practice (02:40) - Leaving PwC for Tech (03:29) - Accounting Is Human (05:17) - Advisory Skills Shift (06:35) - AI Productivity in Practice (09:25) - United OS Walkthrough (10:34) - Partner Model Keep Brand (14:50) - Integrations No Rip Replace (18:44) - First Big Small Firm (21:48) - Outcomes Based Pricing (25:00) - AI Like Excel Era (28:05) - What AI Does Next (29:21) - Fear Traps and Controls (32:39) - Who United Fits Best (33:25) - Wrap Up and Contact Learn more about United Accountants https://www.unitedaccountants.com/ Sign up to get free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://earmarkcpe.comhttps://earmark.app/Download the Earmark CPE App Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmark-cpe/id1562599728Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.earmarkcpe.appConnect with Our Guest, Karl PaadamLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/karl-paadam-39730214Connect with Blake Oliver, CPALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blaketoliverTwitter: https://twitter.com/blaketoliver/

This episode is a fast-moving walkthrough of the cases and pitfalls that most often drive IRS attention. In a candid, practitioner-to-practitioner conversation, Dave, Natalya and Bruce break down what's changing, what's repeating, and what valuation pros can do now to reduce risk and improve defensibility. You'll hear what Pierce v. Commissioner suggests about when a DCF can stand alone, why tax affecting still needs to be done "the right way," and how weak support for DLOM (and increasingly DLOC) can undermine an otherwise solid conclusion. Actionable takeaway: tighten your work where challenges concentrate: discounts, tax affecting, projections, and documentation. And if you use AI for research or drafting, verify sources like your job depends on it—because it does. Continue reading to learn about key resources available to improve your valuation analyses.

Ronald Dickerman says that real estate is part of his DNA. His family owned and operated apartment buildings in Boston, and when he was still a teenager, he'd spend Saturdays at those properties, vacuuming the halls and cleaning the pools. Back then he figured that he'd probably stick close to home and wind up working in the family business, but as it turned out, he was destined for much wider horizons. As founder and president of Madison International Realty, Dickerman leads a company with an uncommon focus on the secondaries market and a footprint that encompasses offices on three continents. Since its founding a quarter century ago, Madison International has raised upward of $8 billiondollars from scores of investors.In our conversation, Dickerman tells us how he came to focus on the secondary market and fills us in on Madison International's latest corporate-level moves. From the perspective of nearly four decades in the business, he offers his insights on today's key trends.And, as an expert on international capital flows, he gives us his take on how the U.S. real estate market stacks up against the competition.

In this episode of the Tax Section Odyssey podcast, host April Walker talks with Jennifer Dymond, founder and CEO of Spire Consulting Services, about how improv techniques can help tax practitioners build stronger client communication and greater advisory confidence. Their conversation explores how skills like active listening, curiosity, flexibility and staying present can help practitioners move beyond scripted compliance conversations and into more effective, collaborative advisory discussions. Questions answered in this episode: What does improv actually mean in a professional setting? Why do tax practitioners often feel comfortable with compliance work but less confident in advisory conversations? How can the "yes, and" mindset improve listening, responsiveness, and client relationships? What should you do when a client seems disengaged, resistant, or not ready to collaborate? What practical questions or exercises can tax practitioners use to build stronger advisory communication skills?

Matthew "Spot" Fulton of Parkway Business Solutions rejoins Alicia after a year-long sabbatical to share something surprisingly useful: a totally fresh perspective on QBO's new interface, AI features, and bank feeds. Having missed the frustrating transition period, Spot logged back in without the emotional baggage of watching features break in real time -- and found things better than he expected. His "cold return" experience raises a bigger question about whether proximity to the chaos has skewed how accountants assess where QBO actually stands today.Sponsors:Aqqrue - http://uqb.promo/aqqrueMaxima.AI - http://uqb.promo/maxima(00:00) - Welcome to The Unofficial QuickBooks Accountants Podcast (00:49) - Spot Returns After Sabbatical (01:44) - Top ProAdvisor Backstory (02:34) - Logging Back Into QBO (03:34) - Bookmarks and Client Navigation (05:52) - Bank Feeds Speed Wins (06:46) - Receipt Upload Improvements (10:04) - AI Statement Reconciliation (13:50) - AI Tools and Reporting (19:19) - Vendor Names and Popups (20:31) - Upsells and Intuit Ecosystem (22:58) - How Spot Relearned Fast (26:21) - Clients Frustration and Change (27:19) - Accounting Future With AI (32:06) - Intuit Accountant Suite Tweaks (33:18) - Wrap Up and Whats Next LINKSAlicia's book on Amazon: http://royl.ws/conversion-bookPast episodes we reference:Kirsten Thulborn on subtle changes you don't notice: www.uqb.show/139Connect with Matthewhttps://www.parkway.businesshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/parkwayincAlicia's Upcoming Classes4/28/26: Converting from QBDT to QBO: http://royl.ws/QBDT2QBO?affiliate=53939075/12/26: QBO Ledger: http://royl.ws/ledger?affiliate=53939075/19/26: QBO Solopreneur: http://royl.ws/Solopreneur?affiliate=53939075/26/26: QBO Advanced: http://royl.ws/QBO-Advanced?affiliate=53939076/9/26: Intuit Accountant Suite: http://royl.ws/QBOA?affiliate=5393907We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickBooksPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

After deadline season, it's tempting to move on and forget what didn't work — but this is the best time to make changes while the lessons are still fresh. In this episode, April Walker is joined by Nancy McClelland, owner of The Dancing Accountant, to discuss small, realistic practice changes that can dramatically reduce tax-season stress. From shifting annual tasks to year‑round workflows and setting clear client expectations to using technology that streamlines document collection and follow-up, Nancy shares practical strategies that help tax pros protect their time, teams and sanity — without overhauling everything at once. Questions answered in this episode: What's one practical change you can make right now that will noticeably improve next tax season? How can shifting "annual" work to monthly or year‑round workflows reduce deadline-season pressure? What are effective ways to set client expectations and boundaries — without damaging the relationship? How can technology reduce document-chaos, missing information and the constant chase for "one last form"? How do you define (and refine) your ideal client profile so you're working with clients you actually enjoy?

Even couples committed to a true, fair partnership can fracture under the weight of an invisible kind of work that almost always goes unacknowledged. In this episode, Megan and Joel sit down with Harvard-trained lawyer and bestselling author Eve Rodsky to talk about the reasons couples end up carrying unequal loads, and how ownership and accountability can help partners end cycles of resentment and defensiveness and move into trust. If you're ready to feel like you're on the same team again, this episode is for you.Memorable Quotes“At the time, we had no system for the home. We were using the three most toxic words that anyone can use for a relationship with kids: We were ‘figuring it out.'”“Fair Play is a system to restore accountability and trust, and the way you do that is by using very, very simple organizational principles… It has boundaries, systems, and communication.”“How do you fix that dynamic of somebody who's overwhelmed and somebody who's lost psychological safety in the home? There's only one way and it's ownership. That's it. You restore accountability and trust through ownership.”“There's only one scale that you'll learn in organizational management. There's trust over here, and guess what's on the other end? Control… The more you inch over to control, the more those people don't wanna be in that organization.”“We have to treat the home the same as we would treat any other practice. You're not going to gain muscle without continuing repetitive exercise. This is a muscle and a practice. And so what I would say is: there's no failing at the practice. There's just coming back to the table.”“It's helpful not to frame it like: ‘You totally suck and you need to get it together or else.' But just if you frame it like: ‘I need you.' Like, this is a two person job to run this enterprise called our family, and it's the most important work we're probably ever gonna do.”Key TakeawaysYour Home Is a Complex Organization. A family has all the complexity of any workplace, but almost none of the structure. Applying basic organizational principles—ownership, accountability, clear roles—changes the entire dynamic of how a household runs.The Mental Load Is the Missing Variable. Most conversations about domestic fairness only count visible tasks. But the real imbalance lives in the invisible work: the conceiving, planning, and anticipating that happens before anyone lifts a finger. Until that's counted, the scales will never balance."Figuring It Out" Doesn't Work. When couples default to winging it, the work doesn't disappear. It defaults. And research in 27 countries shows it almost always defaults to the woman. It's the predictable outcome of having no system at all.Ownership is Beginning to End. Helping with a task isn't the same as owning it. True ownership means handling the conception, planning, and execution (CPE) together. When partners only show up for execution, the load stays lopsided, even when everyone is trying.Trust and Control Are on a Seesaw. In the absence of trust, people resort to control, and both sides of that dynamic are miserable. The way back is agreed upon standards and ownership that creates space for partners to carry through and allows for true load-sharing.Fair Play Is a Practice. Like fitness, the system only works if you keep coming back to it. Life changes, standards shift, and cards drift. Couples who flourish are the ones who keep returning to the table.Resourcesfairplaypolicy.orgFair Play Life (Instagram)Fair Play by Eve RodskyMaintenance by Stewart BrandWatch on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/6DBCOtydrRcThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
