In this episode of *Everyday Black Men* podcast, the crew breaks down the new Trump tax bill with Stylish kicking things off with confusion about how MAGA accounts would even work. White Collar Suge argues that while it benefits the wealthy, working-class folks won't see real change unless they own assets, not just jobs. Riker leans in with sarcasm, wondering if the new lick will be opening a business overseas, while the Black Libertarian opposes the bill as a loss for personal freedom and smaller government due to the attack on personal exemption taxes. The group later debates whether trickle-down economics is just cosplay for rich people playing economist by raising taxes on the poor. As always, the episode wraps up with strong opinions, sharp jokes, and just enough chaos to make you question your next paycheck.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Today is what most people call the “tax deadline” — but that term is more misleading than helpful. In reality, April 15 is less of a final cutoff and more of a decision point: you either file your return or file for an extension. In this episode, we'll walk through why the panic surrounding this date is often unnecessary, especially for those with more complex tax situations. Whether you're already squared away or haven't even started, there's still something smart you can do today — and we're here to help you make tax season uneventful on purpose.

Taxpayers face challenges in reaching the IRS during the 2025 filing season, experiencing longer wait times. Experts predict worsening difficulties next year due to expected staffing cuts. The IRS maintains that current processing times for tax returns align with the previous year, despite layoffs impacting thousands of employees. This year, staff involved in the tax season could not accept buyout offers before the deadline. Increased workloads have overwhelmed IRS employees, resulting in significant delays for taxpayer assistance. Recent layoffs, potentially affecting 20,000 workers or 25% of the workforce, contribute to these issues. While there is a slight decline in tax return processing, the number of issued refunds has increased. Tax compliance experts express concern regarding the IRS's capacity to handle future tax seasons amid ongoing workforce reductions.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Neither would be successful without the other! They go into business - to electrify Dodge muscle cars - that provide the sounds to fool the customer into thinking they're listening to a V8 while they're just hearing an electric motor spin. Did we mention this movie came out in 2011? In between the car drama, Kevin James wife is cheating on him (and he's doing a few shameful things too). Vince Vaughn is stuck in the dilemma of trying to protect his best friend while dealing with the doubt of others from his past as a gambling addict. The end result is that we get an entirely movie of hilarity and HEMI powered classic Dodges - just for fun! This movie has "real" other actors too! Winona Rider, Jennifer Connately, Channing Tatum, and Queen Latifah round out the ensemble. Even more impressive, the director was a big name too; Ron Howard! I'm telling you, in 2011 someone at Dodge saw this movie and just copied the whole thing. 14 years later, it's a realty. The new 2025 Charger is electric and has a speaker system of V8 sounds. Even better, we get a bro movie between Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. The only thing that would make it better is if it were Paul Blart Mall Cop 3! Movie Rating: 10 Corndogs! ======================================== Welcome to the High Performance Expo!

What can federal and state governments do to ease the economic strain on your wallet?It's a big week for tariffs as President Trump has announced a series of tariffs set to take effect on April 2. With federal income taxes already on our minds this month, these tariffs are another tax on American consumers and families.Speaking of taxes, we're still awaiting the renewal of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act before it expires at the end of the year. Will a Republican-led Congress manage to make these cuts permanent? Meanwhile, many states are considering eliminating income and property taxes. This could provide much-needed relief for Americans grappling with rising prices due to inflation—but it must be balanced with lower government spending.I discuss these issues and more on this week's episode of This Week's Economy.

Taxes. They're not the most exciting part of running a business, but they're unavoidable. If tax season snuck up on you and you're staring down a bill you can't pay, don't panic, we've got you covered! In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CPA and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., walks you through what to do when you can't pay your IRS tax bill. From filing your return (even if you can't pay right away) to exploring payment plan options, Danielle breaks it down with practical strategies to take control of your finances and stay out of trouble with the IRS. Key Takeaways: Step 1 - Don't Ignore the Problem: Avoiding your tax bill only makes things worse. The IRS can impose serious penalties, so taking action right away is crucial. Always File Your Tax Return, Even If You Can't Pay in Full: The failure-to-file penalty is significantly higher than the failure-to-pay penalty. Filing on time helps minimize extra costs. Step 2 - Pay What You Can: Some payment is better than none. Put the amount of money towards the tax bill you can afford, and begin assessing the options available to you to pay the remaining balance. Step 3 - Evaluate Your Payment Options: The IRS offers short-term and long-term payment plans, often at lower interest rates than credit cards or loans. Weigh Your Financing Choices Carefully: Compare the IRS interest rate (around 8%) with other options like credit cards or personal loans to determine the most cost-effective way to pay your tax bill. Bonus Tips: Plan Ahead to Avoid Future Tax Surprises: Set aside money regularly for taxes, pay estimated taxes quarterly, and use financial statements to track your tax liability. Have a "Money Team": Having a trusted bookkeeper and tax accountant working together can help you stay ahead of tax season and avoid stressful surprises.

Last week, President Trump fired 6,700 IRS employees, while the chronically underfunded agency, is in the midst of tax season. In a New York Times guest essay, seven former IRS commissioners, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, decried the cuts, which constitute 7% of the agency's work force, as bad policy that would make the agency less efficient and effective. We talk to tax experts and former IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel, who oversaw efforts to overhaul the agency during the Biden administration, about the impact of these cuts to the agency and to the federal budget and Trump's policy towards the IRS. Guests: Vanessa Williamson, senior fellow, Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center; she is the author of "Read My Lips: Why Americans Are Proud to Pay Taxes'; she is also a senior fellow in the Governance Studies department at Brookings Daniel Werfel, former IRS commissioner, Werfel served as the 50th Commissioner of the IRS from March 2023 to January 2025
