In this joint episode, Neil Amato, host of the Journal of Accountancy podcast and Melanie Lauridsen, VP of AICPA Tax Policy and Advocacy discuss two recent Supreme Court decisions.   The Supreme Court ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overturned a 40-year-old precedent of deference referred to as the Chevron doctrine, affecting future rulemaking by eliminating the need for judges to defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. In Corner Post, Inc. v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Supreme Court ruled to alter the statute of limitations for challenging regulations, starting the clock when a plaintiff is injured rather than when the regulation is enforced.   These decisions introduce significant uncertainty for the accounting profession, particularly regarding IRS regulations and long-standing rules and emphasize the need for CPAs to stay informed and adaptable as the implications of these rulings unfold.    AICPA Resources Melancon: Supreme Court decisions are ‘big deal' for tax pros, The Tax Adviser, Aug. 1, 2024 Supreme Court overrules 40-year-old Chevron doctrine, The Tax Adviser, June 28, 2024 Supreme Court decision on Chevron doctrine will affect tax pros, Journal of Accountancy, June 24, 2024 For a full transcript of the episode, see  Tax Section Odyssey on the AICPA & CIMA website.

Using a real-world example where someone faced a significant tax bill, we explore the core factors that influence these costs. We dissect the differences between tax preparation and tax planning, both of which can vary significantly in price. We also discuss the current shortage of skilled tax professionals in the industry, exacerbated by high retirement rates and the impact of COVID-19. Finally, we touch on how individual circumstances uniquely shape the cost of tax services.

More than 146 million individual tax returns are expected to be filed before the end of the 2024 tax filing season. The IRS, with the help of the tens of billions of dollars in supplemental cash from the Democrats' 2022 tax-and-climate law, built up its call centers, expanded its online options, and is now offering more hours at its taxpayer assistance centers to help make a smoother tax filing season for taxpayers and tax professionals. It also launched a controversial free agency-run filing tool for low- and moderate-income taxpayers filing simple returns, though access to the tool won't be more widely available to the general public until mid-March. Bloomberg Tax reporter Erin Slowey spoke with Tom O'Saben, director of tax content and government relations at the National Association of Tax Professionals, about what's different this tax filing season, what's happening in Congress, and why taxpayers shouldn't rush to file once the season opens.
