Fuel producers are trying to prepare for a tax credit regime change, even though the Treasury Department has failed to issue rules around those credits. The clean fuel production tax credit under Section 45Z takes effect next year, replacing a longstanding blenders credit. The new credit gives tax breaks to fuel according to its carbon intensity score. But the yet-to-be-released Treasury and IRS rules will explain how to calculate that score. Debbie Gordon, leader of RSM US LLP's excise and energy tax practice, told reporter Erin Schilling on this week's episode of Talking Tax podcast that fuel producers are still trying to prepare for the new credit, even amid that uncertainty. It's unclear when the clean fuel production tax credit rules will come out, though a Treasury spokesperson said the Biden administration expects to put out some guidance before the administration change in January. Many also are trying to push to start construction on clean fuel projects before the end of this year to qualify for the current credits. Gordon gives insight on what fuel producers are doing to safeguard their projects, how they're preparing for the new credit, and what the new administration means for the future of the credit.

The GOP's 2017 tax law—the biggest change in the US tax code in three decades—left a mammoth task for the IRS and Treasury Department. It resulted in the Treasury and a severely underfunded IRS creating the blueprint for taxpayers and tax practitioners trying to follow the law, releasing over 200 pieces of formal guidance and more than 300 pieces of informal guidance. Many of these provisions are set to expire next year and face an uncertain fate as the November election approaches with control of the House and Senate in play. Dave Kautter, a partner at RSM US LLP, spoke with Bloomberg Tax reporter Erin Slowey on his time as the Department of Treasury's assistant secretary for tax policy and acting IRS commissioner during that major tax code overhaul. He also spoke about the agencies' role in policy making and how they can prepare for changes in 2025—if at all. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

Unemployment was supposed to be much higher by now. With the Federal Reserve increasing its rate hikes over 2022 and into 2023, the labor market should have cracked already. But it hasn't, and many mainstream investors have struggled to determine why. With a higher cost of capital, businesses should be more selective with who they're hiring and keeping, but instead, we're seeing the labor market have much more power than they've had in the past. So, did we successfully dodge an employment crisis, or is a rude awakening coming our way? Joe Brusuelas, principal and chief economist for RSM US LLP, knows that we're thinking about unemployment all wrong. As a leading economist with over twenty years of experience, Joe has seen multiple recessions, crashes, and unemployment crises. He knows exactly what it would take to make the labor market snap and push the country into a recession. Joe breaks down precisely what the Federal Reserve has been planning, when its interest rate hikes will finally take effect, and what the future of the labor market looks like. He also touches on how we may be entering an entirely different era of the economy, one with tight employment, higher interest rates, and higher inflation than we've been used to. This directly affects almost every consumer in America, and investors can get ahead of the economy by knowing when this unemployment scale will finally balance. So don't sit on the sidelines and be surprised when these economic forces take shape. Tune in! In This Episode We Cover Why unemployment has been so low and when the Fed's interest rate hikes will kick in How employment is calculated and why qualified workers are so hard to find  “Labor hoarding” and the real reason big tech is so easily laying off workers  Unemployment rate predictions and whether it'll be like the last recession  Entering a new era of the economy and why higher inflation, interest rates, and employment could be in our future  US immigration and how restricting foreign worker flow has caused a “tight” labor market  And So Much More!

“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable in the insurance industry. The pace of change has accelerated to a degree that we've never experienced. Consumer expectations are changing at pace that we can't comprehend ”, says David. On the podcast, Shannel Clubb and David Mamane discuss their career trajectories, moving in to leadership roles and their biggest achievements. “I didn't have a five year plan”, says Shannel. “I just focused on the client, made sure we had excellent client delivery and built great relationships with the senior executives on those accounts.” “The one thing that's been key is taking a lot of risks”, adds David. Shannel and David outline the insurance consultancy services offered by RSM, the world's 5th largest accountancy firm and discuss what insurance businesses need to do to attract and retain the very best talent.

ServiceNow, the leading digital workflow company making the world work better for everyone, has announced the Now Platform Tokyo release, designed to help organisations navigate complex business challenges amid an uncertain macro environment. The ServiceNow Tokyo release is purpose-built to deliver better employee and customer experiences, supercharge automation and trust in operations, and accelerate value in ways that are good for people, good for the planet, and good for profits. According to the 2022 IDC CEO Survey1, 95% of CEOs see the need to adopt a digital-first strategy and the majority of organizations are down the path of executing their plans. The rationale for this focus is clear: Digital companies deliver twice the revenue growth of non-digital companies, according to Valoir Research2. The new digital-first, fully integrated workflow automation solutions in the Tokyo release increase the power of the Now Platform to create seamless experiences, continuously generate new value by accelerating innovation at scale, and allow people to do their best work. “Our ServiceNow Tokyo platform release gives customers exactly what they need in this moment—new solutions that deliver immediate value, are easy to implement and use, and help them do more with less,” said CJ Desai, chief operating officer at ServiceNow. “Now is not the time to experiment. A platform for digital business is the only way to create great experiences, drive new business value, and accelerate transformation so organisations can focus on growth in our digital-first world.” Accelerating value with purpose-built solutions With today's complex compliance and risk management landscape, customers have asked ServiceNow for solutions that make them more agile and resilient across their enterprise. ServiceNow is responding with new, purpose-built features in the Tokyo release that unlock more value from tech investments for CFOs, COOs, and sustainability teams—simplifying complex supply chains, automating asset management, and delivering auditable, investor-grade sustainability data. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) automates the full lifecycle of physical business assets from planning to retirement for industries such as healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing, and public sector. The solution helps reduce costs, mitigate risks, and improve strategic planning with visibility into the entire enterprise asset estate. Additionally, it optimises inventory levels for the business and operates stockrooms efficiently to better leverage existing assets and maximise asset life. Supplier Lifecycle Management (SLM) empowers organisations to transform traditionally high-effort supplier engagements that live in email and spreadsheets into modern, digital experiences, enabling teams to reduce operating costs and refocus talent on building a more resilient, diverse, and high-quality supply base. With SLM, suppliers leverage self-service experiences to get help, deflecting common inquiries into the respective teams. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Management has been enhanced to allow companies to establish and document ESG goals and KPIs, track performance, collect and validate audit-ready data, and create disclosures that align with major ESG reporting frameworks, in a single end-to-end solution. Key capabilities include carbon accounting to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and an innovative user experience that helps companies efficiently meet increasing requests for ESG data. ServiceNow is collaborating with DXC Technology, Emissionsbox, Fujitsu, KPMG, LTI, Mindtree, NTT DATA Corporation and RSM US LLP, to extend ESG Management's reach and capabilities into the market. Boosting engagement and productivity with great experiences Now more than ever, employee retention is critical.

While the subject of partnerships has brought Kelly many headaches, many tax professionals are drawn to them because of their notorious detail and nuance. It may come as no surprise that new tax technology innovations often find their way into the world of partnerships before other areas of the tax practice. As the complexity of business and partnerships grows, so does the challenge of tax compliance. For this reason, tax professionals are excited about the boom of technology and data tools in the field. Tax professionals are staying ahead of the ever-changing tax code by embracing innovative tax technology, from artificial intelligence to new, more streamlined iterations of Excel.  On today's episode of the Taxgirl podcast, Kelly is joined by Jerry Musi to chat about how tax technology can help with the ever-growing puzzle of tax compliance. Jerry recently penned an article for Bloomberg Tax, and is a Tax Partner at RSM US LLP specializing in asset management funds. He is also the RSM US LLP national tax financial service industry leader. He's been in practice for over 25 years, and he's heavily involved with promoting the firm's partnership tax technology program.  Listen to Kelly and Jerry talk about tax technology and how it factors in to partnership tax conversations:The combo of tax and technology can feel overwhelming since both fields can be so complex. How did Jerry get into both fields to begin with, and how did he learn to combine them harmoniously? What does a modern private equity fund look like today, and how have they changed over time? Jerry shares, in plain English, what these funds are and how technology is playing a part in their management. LLCs and LPs can often go hand in hand, so how does everything intertwine together in the tax compliance world? Jerry helps parse out the details from investments to real estate to K-1s to data and technology. For such complex concepts, what technological tools are available to practitioners? While Excel has always been a staple in every tax professional's toolkit, Jerry shares how advancements in artificial intelligence and new software programs are changing the game as well. How do clients respond to changing tax technology, how are other partners at the firm reacting? Jerry says the response has been overwhelmingly positive and receptive.  The tax world is always changing, so how do professionals like Jerry approach the changing industry climate while still remaining focused on technology and innovation? When it comes to partnership tax, what pieces are notably more streamlined since implementing technology? Jerry says it's the allocations that often give practitioners the most headaches, but with AI and state of the art tax software, the process is significantly less hairy and more efficient. Tax technology aside, does Jerry feel the tax profession is more exciting or more frustrating with the increasing complexity of the tax code over the years? In Jerry's view, he finds it exciting. For instance, he reminds listeners, each state has individual laws and nuances when it comes to taxes, and those laws change just as frequently as the federal tax laws.  While being “faster” is definitely a perk technology can offer tax professionals, Kelly and Jerry also talk about how smart use of technology can help professionals spend more time with clients and less time worrying about data entry.  More about Kelly Phillips Erb: Kelly is the creator and host of the Taxgirl podcast series. Kelly is a practicing tax attorney with considerable experience and knowledge. She works with taxpayers like you every day. One of the things that she does is help folks out of tax jams, and hopefully, keep others from getting into them.

What began as hoping for positive outcomes in the past has now evolved into driving better results through data and experimentation.As many product managers have found, however, designing with the customer in mind, while necessary, is not enough to ensure a positive outcome. To increase the odds of a successful product, product managers need data.We believe that companies can leverage data-driven product strategies that lead to differentiation and competitive advantage. To do this organizations must be able to pivot quickly based on their data experiments.Zachery Reichenbach-Carrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/zackerycarrThe Data Standardhttps://datastandard.io/https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-data-standard/

Kevin Depew, deputy chief economist and industry eminence program leader for RSM US LLP, spoke with Middle Market Growth about recent trade developments and the underlying issues impacting U.S. economic growth. The U.S. recently agreed to a "phase one" trade deal with China and signed the USMCA with Canada and Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Depew explained what those deals mean for the U.S. economy and midsize businesses in the year ahead. He also addressed challenges beyond trade, including the tight labor market and the reluctance of U.S. businesses to make much-needed productivity-enhancing investments. Uncertainty caused by the trade war and the 2020 U.S. presidential election have made business leaders cautious, a sentiment reflected in RSM's latest Middle Market Business Index, published on Dec. 19. Depew discussed the MMBI's findings and what they reveal about how middle-market leaders are planning for the future.

There's not an aspect of modern life that won't be affected by advances in robotics and artificial intelligence in the coming years. But the impact will be especially felt in transportation and distribution. The science of robotics has made huge leaps in recent years, to the point where robots are taking over an increasing number of tasks that once were the exclusive province of humans. And the future promises to be even more disruptive. One study predicts that by the year 2050, up to 47 percent of all current employment will be affected by robotics and automation. To explain the trend and its implications on the workplace, we speak on this episode with Joe Brusuelas, chief economist with the audit, tax and consulting firm RSM US LLP. He is the author of a recent analysis that appeared in The Real Economy, RSM's monthly economic publication devoted to business issues for the middle market. Brusuelas talks about the economic and regulatory drivers behind the new wave of robotics, and explains why transportation and warehousing will be particularly hard hit.
