    ProPublica has recently discovered blueprints for an automated computer program that could potentially share millions of IRS taxpayer records with ICE, as the Trump administration continues to step up deportations and criminal investigations. When Marketplace asked for comment about the system uncovered by ProPublica, a senior DHS official cited a recent memorandum of understanding that allowed for the sharing of specific taxpayer info with appropriate safeguards and said descriptions of this system as "surveillance" were "absurd."Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with William Turton, one of the reporters on the ProPublica investigation, about how exactly this program would work.

      ROTG137 Politically Motivated Attacks Revisited   Nonprofit advocates face a complex environment in 2025 where political disagreements routinely escalate into targeted attacks—ranging from carefully crafted misinformation to more extreme tactics like organizational funding cuts, subpoenas, and personal targeting. This episode explores the emerging challenges advocates encounter, offering insights into recognizing, preparing for, and navigating these increasingly sophisticated forms of political pushback.   Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Hacker Tim Mooney Quyen Tu     Evolution of Political Attacks This isn't the first time we've covered this topic—we discussed it back in earlier episodes when attacks primarily came from private organizations and non-governmental entities like Project Veritas. What's changed is the increasing use of official government investigative authority against tax-exempt organizations, including:   Current Landscape: Government Investigations & Bad Faith Actors Executive Orders from the Trump administration Universities under attack and scrutiny Government agencies: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) State Attorneys General investigations (particularly from those seeking higher office) New techniques utilizing official power with minimal basis for investigation The key challenge: These officials have great investigative power and can exercise it with the slimmest basis, using bad faith political attacks against organizations doing good community work they simply disagree with.   Examples of Great Advocacy in Response Despite these attacks, many nonprofits have stepped up their advocacy:   Challenging the administration in court Almost every executive order has faced legal challenges Many nonprofits have teamed up for court cases Some challenges have been successful, others ongoing   Calling out attacks for what they are Naming attacks as politically motivated and in bad faith Pointing out reliance on dubious information This approach has met with significant success   Solidarity in numbers Some law firms and universities initially settled with the administration Others joined together and refused to settle or capitulate Finding strength in solidarity and continuing their missions   Funder support stepped up Funders creating new short-term grants Establishing legal defense funds Providing pro bono services for nonprofits Some funders publicly increased funding; others acted quietly but effectively   Being Prepared: Your Best Defense   Legal and Administrative Compliance The best defense is ensuring full compliance with all applicable laws so you can advocate with confidence.   Advocacy Check-Up Tool: Our nonprofit self-assessment (13-page document available free on our website) Identifies opportunities to enhance compliance with tax, lobbying, election, and other laws Provides starting place to assess existing systems Helps prepare for attorney meetings with specific checklist items   Key compliance areas to review: How your 501(c)(3) remains nonpartisan Staying within lobbying limits for C3 public charities Ensuring all reporting is current (IRS, FEC, local ethics commissions) Checking insurance coverage (directors & officers, liability) Board setup and bylaw compliance Document management: Store foundational documents electronically in the cloud   Maintain excellent records: Clear, accurate documentation to easily prove legal compliance when needed   Organizational Readiness and Communications Planning Beyond legal compliance, you need comprehensive preparation: Identify vulnerabilities: What might attackers say about your work? Communications strategy: Have a plan for public response Election season policy: Clear guidelines for staff activities Document retention policy: Know what to keep and for how long Staff training: Especially public-facing staff and volunteers Train them to recognize unusual questions outside normal scope Establish "odd question point person" to defer to Response protocols: Know what to do if attacked Legal counsel: Have a lawyer you can call or know who to contact   Most Important: Don't Self-Censor Remember these are bad faith attacks. You aren't doing anything wrong. They're trying to: Separate you from your funders Separate you from your supporters Make you stop your advocacy work Avoid engaging on the substance of your work   Don't fall for the trap of stopping your advocacy just because they claim you're doing something wrong. If your compliance is solid and you have a communications plan, you've likely done nothing wrong—keep doing your important work.     If You Are Attacked: Response Strategy   Initial Response: Don't Overreact Reassure everyone: Staff, board, key supporters that you have a plan and are executing it Share with allies: Touch base with coalitions and peer organizations Attacks often target multiple similar organizations Share what you're experiencing and your response plans Ask for help: Learn from others who've been through this; consult funders and foundations   Fact-Finding and Gap Analysis Get clear on accusations: What specifically are they claiming? Assess the facts: What do you know vs. don't know? Close any gaps: You don't have to be perfect Retrain staff if needed Amend reports if necessary Address any legitimate compliance issues   Response Protocol for Official Investigations   When facing government actors: Request identification and documentation: Ensure it's a legitimate governmental agency with authority (warrant/subpoena) Preserve all evidence: Don't destroy documents, emails, or other records Don't obstruct government action but monitor their work (like supervising a contractor in your house) Protect privileged information: Seek legal advice on confidential/privileged materials Designate spokesperson: One staff member communicates with government actors and public to avoid conflicting messages   Legal Support and Defense Seek counsel for preparation: Some aspects you can handle alone, others need legal guidance Retain counsel for formal responses: Essential for official investigations Investigate legal defense funds: If budget is tight, these are increasingly available   Staying on Offense: Reframe the Narrative With a good plan in place, you can be on offense instead of defense: Call political attacks what they are Feel confident in your legal compliance Ensure staff feel safe and confident by sharing/reviewing your plan Continue your great advocacy work because you're in compliance with laws   Special Thanks to Funders Shout out to funders who have stepped up during these attacks: Some have been very public about increasing funding Many have acted quietly without spotlight Both approaches are important and appreciated Creating new funding mechanisms and legal defense funds   Resources Advocacy Check-Up: Nonprofit Self-Assessment Essential Strategies for Navigating Government Inquiries (Perkins Coie) Search Warrants: Dos and Don'ts (Perkins Coie) Sample 501(c)(3) Policy for Election Season  Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s  Practical Guidance Series: Lobbying  Practical Guidance Series: Nonprofit Voter Assistance On-Demand Training: Preparing for Politically Motivated Attacks

    Episode 63: In this episode, Timalyn concludes her series on IRS audits by addressing a critical concern: what to do if you disagree with an audit decision. In the previous two episodes, Timalyn broke down what IRS audits are and why taxpayers may be selected for one. Now, she helps listeners understand the next step—how to respond when they believe the IRS got it wrong. Mistakes happen, whether it's human error or an automated system glitch. But you don't have to accept the results without a fight. Timalyn walks through the three potential outcomes of an audit: No Change: You provided sufficient proof, and no changes were made Agreed: You understand and accept the changes Disagreed: You understand the changes but do not agree When there's disagreement, Timalyn explains your rights and outlines three key options: Request a conference with an IRS manager. Use the IRS's Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program for mediation. File a formal appeal with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. Timalyn does explain the difference between mediation and filing an appeal, when it might be more effective than an appeal, and the importance of acting within time limits. Timalyn reminds listeners they have the right to representation. Whether it's hiring an Enrolled Agent, CPA, or tax attorney, or qualifying for a Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic, you don't have to handle it alone. If you cannot pay the new tax assessed in full, Timalyn briefly reviews your payment options. She also shares the previous podcast episodes where she went into more detail about each option: Installment Agreements (Episode 10) Currently Not Collectible status (Episode 18) Offer in Compromise (Episodes 48 & 49) Timalyn encourages listeners who are DIY-ing their tax relief to download IRS Publication 594 for a breakdown of the collection process.  Need Tax Help Now? If you are currently facing an audit or have received a notice, schedule a consultation with Timalyn through her website: www.bowenstaxsolutions.com As we conclude Episode 63, make sure to subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast platform.

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today's biggest stories shaping America and the world. Trump Rejects Epstein Obsession, Fires Comey's Daughter President Trump lashes out at MAGA supporters still focused on the Epstein case, calling them “past supporters” duped by a hoax. Meanwhile, the DOJ fires Maurene Comey, James Comey's daughter and a former Epstein-related prosecutor. Bryan notes how bizarre the case has become, especially with Ghislaine Maxwell now appealing to the Supreme Court under Epstein's old plea deal. Trump Uses IRS Data to Locate and Deport Illegal Immigrants The administration is now using IRS records, including ITIN filings, to track down updated addresses for undocumented migrants. Democrats warn of racial profiling and mass arrests, but a court has upheld the program. ICE arrests are climbing toward an annual pace of 330,000, with new policies encouraging self-deportation and long-term detention for those apprehended. Eswatini Accepts U.S. Deportees the World Refuses to Take The African kingdom of Eswatini has agreed to imprison deportees that countries like Cuba, Yemen, and Laos refuse to accept. King Mswati III has taken in five convicted criminals for now. Bryan praises the move as a brilliant deterrent: mess with America and end up in a country you can't find on a map. Riots in Spain as Migrant Violence Sparks Vigilante Justice After a 68-year-old Spaniard was beaten by Moroccan migrants, vigilante attacks erupted in Torre Pacheco. Bryan frames this as part of a larger European backlash against open borders and leftist immigration policies that ignore cultural and national identity. Gaza Stampede Kills 20 as Humanitarian Aid Crisis Deepens Armed militants reportedly triggered a deadly panic at a Gaza aid site. Israeli leaders and military officials blame disorganized aid distribution and lingering Hamas interference. Peace talks remain deadlocked over the group's future role and the governance of Gaza. Mali Junta Uses Helicopters to Steal $117M in Gold from U.S. Miner Mali's ruling junta seized a ton of gold from Barrick's mine after a profit-sharing dispute. The theft underscores growing instability and radicalism in Africa, where Russian meddling and Islamic terror groups are driving waves of migration into Europe.

    Tim and Mary come bearing headlines for another round of news and commentary. Today we discuss persecution in America, as anti-Christian rhetoric ramps up in diverse places. Last week we chatted with Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs to learn about our church family overseas; today we talk about perils in the US - and opportunities to stand firm for the faith. We also look at the latest with the IRS statement allowing pulpits to promote political candidates. Good, bad, ugly? Freedom of speech is always good, and just because it comes from the side of those who preach morals and are pro-life, doesn't make it less valuable. In fact, the world needs more words of value spoken by God's people on many subjects. But, we also have people in pews who think differently about politics and candidates. Is this a breeding ground for divisiveness, and what about those who really don't come to church to hear about politics on any level? Just askin'. We also talk about the 2-state solution and hostility against Jews. Did we really think we would be left out of that danger zone, where our Jewish brethren are suffering for their beliefs but not the church?

    Gary revisits a topic he discussed a few months back about churches and pastors making political endorsements. It has long been believed that churches cannot even mention politics or candidates due to the threat of losing their tax-exempt status. The IRS has finally come out with a statement making the matter very clear. What excuse will churches use now?

    Are you looking to seize control of your retirement funds and explore alternative investment avenues beyond traditional stocks? In this episode, Adam Bergman, a nine-time author, former tax and ERISA attorney, and founder of IRA Financial, shares how self-directed IRAs can empower you to invest in assets like real estate, crypto, gold, private businesses, and more. Learn the essential tax rules and strategies to cultivate your retirement growth. In this episode, we chat about… Introduction to Self-Directed IRAs: Explained what a self-directed IRA is and how it differs from traditional IRAs managed by custodians like Fidelity or Vanguard. Three Things You Can't Do with an IRA: Clear breakdown of IRS restrictions: no life insurance, no collectibles, and no self-dealing (IRC Section 4975(c)). What Triggers UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax): Covered the three scenarios that may trigger UBIT and outlined strategies to avoid or minimize it. Solo 401(k) vs. Self-Directed IRA: Compared the advantages of solo 401(k)s for the self-employed, including UBIT exemptions and higher contribution limits. Using an IRA LLC or "Checkbook IRA": Describe the structure, benefits of control, limited liability, and privacy offered by IRA LLCs. Real Estate and Crypto with a Self-Directed IRA: Detailed how self-directed IRAs can be used for real estate and crypto investments, including the role of non-recourse loans. Key Takeaways: Self-directed IRAs allow you to invest in a wide range of alternative assets, with only a few IRS restrictions. A qualified custodian is required to handle IRA funds and facilitate compliant investments. UBIT may apply to leveraged real estate or active business investments, but it can often be reduced or avoided with the right strategy. IRA LLCs with checkbook control offer more flexibility, privacy, and direct access to manage investments. Solo 401(k)s are ideal for self-employed individuals, offering higher contribution limits and exemptions from UBIT on leveraged real estate.

    Your 401(k) is likely your largest retirement asset—so the decisions made about it can have a lasting impact. This episode explores the pros and cons of keeping a 401(k) versus rolling it over to an IRA.Learn when it makes sense to stay in a 401(k), especially for those retiring between ages 55 and 59½, when a special IRS rule allows penalty-free withdrawals not available in IRAs. Keeping pre-tax funds in a 401(k) may also support more efficient backdoor Roth strategies.Six key factors influence the decision: cost, control, investment options, account consolidation, ease of use, and coordination across accounts. The discussion also dives into advanced strategies—such as in-plan Roth conversions, the tax treatment of after-tax contributions, and Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) for company stock.The right choice depends on individual retirement timelines, tax strategies, and long-term financial goals.
