Ghislaine Maxwell has filed a new court petition claiming that dozens of associates connected to Jeffrey Epstein were never charged and instead reached confidential settlements that were not disclosed during her criminal trial. In the filing, Maxwell argues the alleged “secret” deals and other newly cited evidence could undermine her conviction, raising questions about selective prosecution and what information was shared with her defense. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the allegations and and what — if anything — the claims could mean for her case moving forward with former federal prosecutor Gene Rossi.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW:Download the SAN app at https://san.com/sidebar for Unbiased, Straight factsHOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, Alex Ciccarone, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Roger and Annie welcome back Thad Inge to decode what's happening in Washington DC as filing season kicks off. With potential government shutdowns, billion-dollar IRS budget cuts, and 25% of IRS staff gone through early retirements, uncertainty looms over tax professionals trying to implement retroactive provisions for overtime and tips. The conversation shifts to the renewed push for minimum tax preparer standards and why getting bipartisan legislation passed might be harder than ever in an election year.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.Connect with Thad IngeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thad-inge-9342155Website: https://www.vsadc.com/Chapters(00:00) - Introduction and Greetings (03:15) - Congressional Updates and Government Shutdown Concerns (09:19) - IRS Staffing and Service Levels (11:31) - Tax Legislation and Employer Guidance (16:08) - State Tax Variations and Software Updates (19:35) - IRS Budget Cuts and Inflation Reduction Act Funds (25:25) - Student Loan Offsets and Political Implications (28:31) - Potential Tax Legislation and ACA Premium Tax Credits (29:35) - Trump's Healthcare Plan and Legislative Challenges (30:10) - Tax Extenders and Bipartisan Cooperation (32:36) - Child Tax Credit and Legislative Vehicles (33:24) - The Legislative Process and Unanimous Consent (37:02) - Senator Tillis and Party Defections (40:10) - Minimum Standards for Tax Preparers (53:57) - Incentivizing E-Filing for Small Businesses (58:12) - Conclusion and Upcoming Tax Season 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.

Brian and Jeremiah tackle a fast-moving financial landscape—where market volatility, tariff headlines, and economic uncertainty can push investors into emotional decision-making. The show explores a proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates, debating whether it's consumer protection or government overreach, and how limiting risk can also limit opportunity. They connect today's headlines to long-term strategy, using the BetterBuckets® strategy to explain how separating money into stability, income, and growth "buckets" helps investors stay disciplined when markets fluctuate. Through practical examples, they show why reacting to short-term fear can derail long-term financial success. The show also features in-depth retirement planning guidance, including Roth conversion strategy, required minimum distribution (RMD) planning, Medicare IRMAA impacts, and the decision of when to claim Social Security. Listeners learn how tax efficiency, cash-flow planning, and understanding the ripple effects of financial decisions can create flexibility and reduce surprises in retirement.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Jeremiah Bates & Brian Wiley ————————————————————— Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

In this episode:  IRS electronic filing systems are closed until January 26, delaying returns and refunds. Some state tax forms won't be ready for filing until late February. IRS staffing shortages are causing longer response times across the board. Paper filing and paper checks are being phased out in favor of electronic methods. New deductions and credits under recent legislation may increase refund amounts. Employers must follow updated guidance when reporting 2025 overtime on W-2s. Identity theft during tax season is increasing; IRS Identity Protection PINs can help. New rules impact charitable donations of non-cash items and vehicle contributions. A proposed bill could increase the capital gains exclusion on home sales. E-filing and online payments are now required for many taxpayers and businesses. Extensions are common and often necessary when waiting on corrected or delayed tax documents. Form 1099 filing must be completed by January 31, with e-filing required if over 10 forms are issued.

Vanessa Friedman, fashion director and chief fashion critic of The New York Times, discusses what the Saks Global bankruptcy filing to find out what it means for shoppers and vendors, and what it says about the state of retail sales in the city.

Nick Hauselman is flying solo while Jared Yates Sexton is out, so he grabs his buddy Brian Kaplan for a relaxed Weekender that starts as a casual lunch in LA and somehow turns into a full-blown political autopsy. Between salad-fork confessions and talk of suspicious bruises, they dig into: whether Trump needs full time care, why congressional hearings are basically soundbite factories, and how “we all saw it happen” doesn't matter when a party's committed to an alternate reality. From Matt Gaetz and the ethics report mess to the Supreme Court's consequence-free zone, the conversation keeps circling the same ugly theme: power, money, and the cruelty-as-strength brand that keeps getting rewarded. They also kick around the idea that America isn't “going back” to anything, it's stumbling into a new Gilded Age, and the only real rebuild might come from a generation that's sick of watching the same fossilized leadership cling to the wheel. And because it's the Weekender, they close it out with something actually pleasant: what they're watching when the news gets too dark.

The “Billion-Dollar Asset” That Still Had to Be Sold A story Bruce shares in our retirement class teaching always stops people in their tracks. A family inherited an NFL team worth just under a billion dollars. The asset was valuable. The legacy was real. But the planning wasn't there. When estate taxes came due, the heirs didn't have the liquidity to pay the bill. And because the wealth was tied up in an illiquid asset, they had to sell the team. https://www.youtube.com/live/6lCgo4y3LYs Most families will never own an NFL franchise. But plenty of families do own a business, a portfolio of real estate, land that's been in the family for generations, or investments that look substantial on paper but aren't easy to convert into cash quickly. And that's where this topic becomes personal: if you don't plan ahead, your family may be forced into decisions you never intended—simply to satisfy a tax obligation. This is why we're talking about how to avoid estate tax legally—so your wealth can serve your heirs and your purpose, not become a burden or a fire sale. The “Billion-Dollar Asset” That Still Had to Be SoldWhat You'll Learn About How to Avoid Estate Tax LegallyThe Practical Building Blocks of Estate Tax PlanningEstate Tax vs Inheritance Tax Difference: Start With the Right DefinitionsFederal Estate Tax Exemption 2026 and Why the Rules Don't Stay PutEstate Tax Exemption 2025 vs 2026: Timing MattersEstate Tax Rate 40 Percent: The “One-Time Loss” That Creates Long-Term DamageWhy Do Estate Tax Planning Strategies Matter Even If You're Under the Exemption Today?Estate Planning for Married Couples vs Surviving Spouse: The Quiet ShiftHow to Avoid Estate Tax Legally With Annual GiftingDo I Have to Report Gifts Under 19,000?When Do You Have to File Form 709 Gift Tax Return?Lifetime Gift Tax Exemption 2026: Larger Gifts and Long-Term TrackingGiving With Warm Hands: Why Legacy Planning Is Bigger Than Tax PlanningEstate Liquidity Planning: What Happens if an Estate Is Mostly Real Estate and Taxes Are Due?How Can Life Insurance Provide Liquidity for Estate Taxes?Irrevocable Trust Estate Planning StrategiesHow to Avoid Estate Tax Legally: Life Insurance for Banking vs Life Insurance for Estate Tax529 Plan Superfunding: Gifting to Reduce Estate Size (and the Control Question)The Most Important Takeaway on How to Avoid Estate Tax LegallyListen to the Full Episode on How to Avoid Estate Tax LegallyBook A Strategy CallFAQWhat is the difference between estate tax and inheritance tax?How does the estate tax exemption work?Should I do estate tax planning if I'm under the exemption today?What is the annual gift tax exclusion?Do I have to report gifts under the gift tax exclusion?When do you have to file Form 709?What happens if an estate is mostly real estate and taxes are due?How can life insurance provide liquidity for estate taxes?Which states have estate or inheritance taxes? What You'll Learn About How to Avoid Estate Tax Legally If you've ever wondered, “Will my legacy go to my family…or to the IRS?” you're asking the right question. In this blog, we're going to walk you through the core ideas from our podcast episode on estate and inheritance taxes—what they are, how exemptions work, why the rules change, and what families can do now to protect generational wealth. You'll learn: The estate tax vs inheritance tax difference (and why it matters) How the federal estate tax exemption 2026 conversation impacts planning today Why a married couple's plan can change dramatically when one spouse dies How annual gifting works (and why people confuse it) When Form 709 may come into play Why estate liquidity planning can be the difference between preserving an asset and losing it How life insurance and trusts are commonly used to create options and control Quick note: we're not attorneys. We sit in these meetings with attorneys. We collaborate with estate planning professionals constantly. Our goal is to give you a clear framework so you can make wise decisions and ask better questions with your CPA and attorney. The Practical Building Blocks of Estate Tax Planning Estate Tax vs Inheritance Tax Difference: Start With the Right Definitions One of the biggest sources of confusion we see is people using “estate tax” and “inheritance tax” like they're interchangeable. They're not. Here's the simple distinction: Estate taxes are settled by the estate. The money comes out of the estate before everything is fully distributed. Inheritance taxes are settled by the beneficiaries. The tax bill is tied to what they receive. There's also the state-level reality: not every state has inheritance tax, and state estate taxes can be entirely different from federal rules. That's why one of the first questions we encourage families to answer is: “Which taxes apply in my state, and which apply federally?” When you get the definitions right, you avoid planning in the wrong direction. Federal Estate Tax Exemption 2026 and Why the Rules Don't Stay Put When we recorded this episode, we were in December 2025, and Congress had just changed a tax bill that was expected to sunset at the start of 2026. That shift is a perfect example of why families can't build a legacy plan on the assumption that today's rules will remain tomorrow's rules. Here's what matters more than any single number: tax law can change quickly, and thresholds can move. That's why planning is less about guessing the future and more about building a structure that is resilient no matter what Congress does next. Estate Tax Exemption 2025 vs 2026: Timing Matters A detail that surprises many families is that timing can change what exemption applies. If someone passes away in one year, that year's rules apply. If they pass away the next year, the next year's exemption applies. We don't control the timing of life. But we can control the readiness of our plan. Estate Tax Rate 40 Percent: The “One-Time Loss” That Creates Long-Term Damage A federal estate tax hit can be significant. In our conversation, we referenced how quickly the dollars add up when large estates exceed the exemption threshold. But the bigger point we want you to see is this: It's not just the dollars paid in tax once. It's the generational opportunity cost of losing that capital. When your family loses money to unnecessary taxes, your family also loses what that money could have produced across decades: businesses that could have been started real estate acquisitions that could have created cash flow education and training that could have expanded a child's capacity family philanthropy that could have multiplied impact economic stability that could have protected future generations Bruce tells clients: when the money is gone, you can't make money on that money anymore. That's not just a financial statement. It's a legacy statement. Why Do Estate Tax Planning Strategies Matter Even If You're Under the Exemption Today? This is where most families get lulled to sleep. They see a high exemption and think, “We don't need to worry about estate taxes.” Two realities can make that assumption dangerous: Exemptions can change Your plan changes when one spouse dies Estate Planning for Married Couples vs Surviving Spouse: The Quiet Shift Even if you don't consider yourself “ultra-wealthy,” your planning needs to account for the fact that most couples will not pass away at the same time. A couple may look comfortably under a combined exemption threshold—then one spouse dies and the surviving spouse's position changes. Planning that felt safe becomes exposed. We see this across many areas of tax planning, not just estate taxes. The financial world often treats “married” and “single” very differently. That's why it's so important to build your plan while you still have options, flexibility, and time. How to Avoid Estate Tax Legally With Annual Gifting One of the simplest tools families can use is consistent, intentional gifting. In our episode, we talked about an annual gifting amount of $19,000 per person, per recipient, per year. The specific number can change over time, so always confirm the current annual exclusion with your CPA. But the concept is what matters. Here's why annual gifting is so powerful: It reduces the size of your estate over time It can move assets into the next generation in a planned way It can be used to build capability, not entitlement—if you pair it with purpose and guidance Do I Have to Report Gifts Under 19,000? In many situations, gifts under the annual exclusion amount don't require filing a gift tax return. That's why families like it: it's simple and consistent. Where it gets complicated is when you go above the annual threshold. When Do You Have to File Form 709 Gift Tax Return? If you exceed the annual exclusion amount, you may need to file a gift tax return (often IRS Form 709). Filing doesn't necessarily mean you owe tax immediately. It can mean the gift is tracked against lifetime gifting limits. Your CPA is the right person to guide you on the reporting mechanics for your situation. The takeaway: gifting can be one of the cleanest ways to reduce your estate—especially when you do it proactively and consistently. Lifetime Gift Tax Exemption 2026: Larger Gifts and Long-Term Tracking Beyond annual gifting, there is typically a lifetime gifting framework that tracks larger transfers. This is where families often say, “I'm confused,” and they're not alone. The important part isn't memorizing every detail—it's understanding the two-tier structure: annual gifting can be simple and repeatable larger gifts may require reporting and coordination with lifetime limits Again, this is why we encourage families to coordinate with their CPA and estate planning attorney.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're talking about the bankruptcy filing of Saks Global, something that many had predicted would happen over the last few weeks as the company's debt load continued to grow. Saks reportedly owes hundreds of millions of dollars to its various vendors, including bigger brands like Chanel and Kering. The bankruptcy also drew the ire of Amazon, which had invested hundreds of millions into Saks' acquisition of Neiman Marcus two years ago, the value of which Amazon now says is worthless. We discussed the ripple effects that Saks's bankruptcy will have on the company, on the brands that work with it and on luxury shopping, in general.

This week we're covering LLC filings, and the answers to questions we get frequently from tax practitioners.

TAP can be a meaningful lens shift when it strips rank and levels the room, but the impact varies by location and intent. We talk about how to make it useful: go early, go more than once if you can, and treat it like PME with your phone down and your plan up. You'll hear why some segments feel intrusive, how to push for resources without surrendering privacy, and which outside programs often deliver more practical job traction.Documentation becomes your lifeline. We lay out a clear approach to medical records: gather early, pull late, and close the gaps on off-base care so service connection isn't left to chance. For VA claims, timing can spare you months of delay. Filing up to 180 days out lets you complete exams in uniform and fix issues before they stall. VSOs can help, but your name is on the file—organize a digital record, highlight key diagnoses, and learn the process so you can advocate for yourself when it matters.Then there's Skill Bridge, the lightning rod of transition. It's not guaranteed; it's a commander-approved privilege that should build real skills and a plausible path to hire—not a remote free-for-all or a second job. We debate the hard question: who deserves it? Our take balances dignity and readiness—scale approvals to unit capacity and performance, align projects to target roles, and measure outcomes you can use in interviews. Through it all, we keep the focus where it belongs: losing rank doesn't mean losing your voice. With a deliberate plan, clean documentation, and the right experience, you'll step into civilian life ready to contribute on day one.If this helped, follow the show, share with a teammate who's six to eighteen months out, and leave a review with your biggest transition question—we'll tackle it on a future episode.

In this episode, we continue breaking down the State of Idaho's response to Lori Vallow Daybell's appeal, picking up deep into the brief as the State dismantles claims of constitutional violations.The State argues that Lori Vallow failed all three prongs of the fundamental error test — including claims that her Sixth Amendment right to counsel was violated and that her due process rights were ignored while she was deemed incompetent.We walk through why the court says Mark Means had the opportunity to respond but chose not to, why this was not a structural error, and why any alleged error would be considered harmless under existing case law.The episode also dives into the key issue of competency, explaining why hearings held in Chad Daybell's separate criminal case did not violate Lori Vallow's rights — including her right not to be prosecuted while incompetent or her right to be physically present.This section of the appeal gives rare insight into what was happening behind the scenes while much of the case was under seal — and why the State is confident none of these arguments will impact her Idaho conviction.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

The Trump DOJ has admitted in a new court filing that they have no other case against Former FBI Director James Comey other than the perjury charged, which is now barred under the statute of limitations. Michael Popok explores the new filing on an emergency motion for temporary restraining order and explains why the argument that Lindsey Halligan is “defective” as US Attorney, giving the DOJ another 6 months to re-indict Comey, should fail.
