Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Government Shutdown ≠ IRS Shutdown Episode 69:  In this episode, Timalyn deviates from the discussion begun in Episode 64 about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.  Timalyn addresses the government shutdown and how it affects the IRS and, in turn, all taxpayers.  Today, she's explaining what a government shutdown is, how a government shutdown doesn't give taxpayers in tax debt a get out of jail free card, what to expect from the IRS right now, and how this will likely affect the 2026 filing season. What is a government shutdown? The government shuts down when Congress cannot agree on a budget. It is not that the country does not have money. The money can't be spent to fund government jobs or programs because, for this time period, Congress has not agreed on the amount to allocate to different expenses that the country has.  Some government agencies continue to work but without pay. Essential workers can stay, but others are sent home on furlough.  How does the government shutdown affect the IRS? Keep in mind that the IRS has already lost a significant number of people, taking the number of employees from ~101,000 to ~71,000 since January. This government shutdown has called for another 30,000 - 35,000 employees to be furloughed at the end of the individual and corporate tax extension season.  With fewer employees, the services offered have become very limited. Taxpayers can expect delays in processing returns, payments, refunds, and payment arrangements. Certain audits and exams have come to a halt until after the shutdown.  Although things have come to a halt, the automated systems within the IRS are still working. This means that returns can still be filed. It also means that the automated collection system is still working. Taxpayers who have debts that they cannot pay in full are at risk of being levied if a bank account match is made by the system.  If you are in that position, take care of your situation as soon as possible. Removing a levy right now will be more difficult than it typically is due to fewer staff being available. How will this affect the next tax season? The IRS typically shuts down the e-file system in November to prepare for the next season. It typically does not open again until the end of January, in a normal year. This year, the One Big Beautiful Act was passed as law in July.  There are things in the law that went into effect this tax year, which means they will affect the return that you file in the Spring. The IRS has yet to translate some of the things that Congress has written into law under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. But who can do that if the government is shut down?  A government shutdown doesn't equal a complete IRS shutdown. But with the restrictions they are facing right now, it will feel that way. The IRS also has to update forms and publications so that taxpayers and professionals will know how certain things should be reported on the tax return. With them being out of the office now, that will put them behind on making these updates for next season.  What should you do? If you have tax debt, get it off the back burner. Take care of it as soon as possible. There are different options for you if you need more time or can't afford the proposed monthly payments.  Consider hiring a tax professional whose expertise is in handling back tax situations. If you have to make a call to the IRS, be sure to document the agent's name, badge number, as well as the time and date that you are calling.  When mailing something, be sure to send certified and keep the green receipt.  Plan for delayed processing and service times as well.

Taxpayer advocates are keeping close watch on this week's decision to name Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano as CEO of the IRS, and have many questions about what it could mean for the agency. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday he was creating a new IRS CEO position, and Republicans in Congress seem to be generally supportive, though some said the White House should still name an IRS commissioner nominee. The Treasury Department assured staff in GOP Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley's office that a commissioner nominee would still be sent to the Senate. At the same time, the Senate Finance Committee voted Wednesday to advance Derek Theurer's nomination to be undersecretary for legislative affairs and Donald Korb's nomination to be IRS chief counsel. That's good news for Pete Sepp —president of the National Taxpayers Union, a taxpayer advocacy group—who is concerned that many of the top IRS positions remained unfilled. Sepp, who sat down with Bloomberg Tax Senior Reporter Chris Cioffi for this episode of Talking Tax, said Congress is right to seek answers about how the CEO job interacts with the commissioner. He said he hoped the CEO position, in the future, would be selected by an IRS oversight board that has been dormant for more than a decade. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

Criticism is ramping up about the government's proposed new threshold for young people needing to access the benefit. From next November, 18 and 19 year olds will have to take a parental assistance test when applying for a benefit - and will be ineligible if their parents earn more than $65,000. Both the Council of Trade Unions and the Taxpayers union have pointed out it could work as a disincentive, where parents might be worse off for earning more. Political reporter Lillian Hanly spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson dive into the latest ITR Foundation poll, offering fresh insight into how Iowans feel about taxes, spending, education, and the state's political environment. With overwhelming bipartisan support for constitutional limits on raising taxes and capping property tax growth, the poll makes clear that taxpayers want stronger protections — and they want them now.The conversation also takes a serious turn with the shocking story of Des Moines school superintendent Ian Roberts, who was detained by federal agents under a long-standing deportation order. Chris and John walk through the facts of the case, raise questions about how Roberts was ever hired to lead Iowa's largest school district, and criticize the evasive responses of Democratic leaders. For Iowans, the scandal isn't just about immigration — it's about accountability in education and government.From there, the hosts return to the numbers: the poll shows Iowa Republicans remain in a strong position heading into 2026, with a +10 point generic ballot advantage even in what should be a difficult midterm environment for the party in power. Education Savings Accounts continue to gain support as more families see their benefits firsthand, while property tax reform remains a political winner that cuts across party lines.The episode closes with a thoughtful exchange on tariffs and trade, showing how conservative views on economic policy are shifting in the Trump era. Chris and John weigh the populist push for tariffs against Iowa's agricultural reliance on global markets, highlighting both risks and opportunities. It's a conversation that shows how national debates directly impact Iowa families and businesses.

     Slam The Gavel welcomes Renata DeMello to the podcast. She is here to discuss her childhood friend's case. Giselle Smiel is a devoted mother, a woman of faith, and a survivor of severe domestic violence who is now facing six felony charges, not because of any criminal act, but for protecting her children in the midst of a high-conflict custody battle. With no criminal record, Giselle has been the sole caregiver to her children for the past five years, consistently prioritizing their safety and well-being. In a devastating turn, the family court Commissioner awarded full custody to the father, who has a documented history of abuse, after Giselle missed a hearing due to her son's medical emergency. Just weeks later, on September 4, 2025, she was arrested and is now being held on $500,000 bail.This well-oiled system punishes survivors, rather than protects them. Despite years of documented abuse and her attempts to comply with co-parenting under dangerous conditions, Giselle was denied a full evidentiary hearing, federally required ADA accommodations, and her rights under state and federal law. Her story is part of a growing national crisis where protective parents are criminalized for safeguarding their children. Renata and others are urgently raising funds to retain a trauma-informed legal team to fight these charges and appeal the custody decision. This is about JUSTICE, not just for Giselle, but for every survivor navigating a system that fails to protect them. To Reach Renata DeMello:  rencmdm@proton.mehttps://gofund.me/10a46e057Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Charitable Contributions Episode 68:  In this episode, Timalyn continues the discussion begun in Episode 64 about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.   Today, she's explaining the charitable contribution deduction and the changes that have been made to it under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. What is a charitable contribution? Charitable contributions are money or property that are given to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, religious organizations, educational institutions, fraternal organizations, public cemetaries, and certain government organizations. The IRS has a search tool that can be used to look up tax exempt organizations.  Charitable Contributions Deduction The IRS allows taxpayers to receive a deduction for the charitable contributions they give to qualified organizations. This deduction lowers the taxpayer's taxable income. In the past this deduction has been reserved for taxpayer's who itemize deductions. During COVID taxpayers who didn't itemize could receive a partial charitable contribution deduction . The One Big Beautiful Bill Act brings this back with an increased amount. Taxpayers who do not itemize can still deduct up to $1,000 of their charitable contributions ($2,000 if married filing jointly).  For those who do itemize the One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduces a floor to this deduction. Taxpayers can deduct the amount they have given that is over .5% of their adjusted gross income (AGI). Timalyn uses the example of a taxpayer having an AGI of $100,000. .5% of that is $500. That means the taxpayer can deduct the amount they have given to charitable organizations that is over $500. Donation Tax Deduction Limit The amount that can be deducted for charitable contributions is not unlimited. For cash donations it is limited to 60% of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. So for the taxpayer who has an AGI of $100,000 they cannot deduct more than $60,000 in cash donations for the current tax year.  If the taxpayer has given more than 60% of their AGI in charitable contributions the amount that exceeds the limit rolls over to the next year. This does not apply to those who receive will take the partial charitable contribution deduction.  Deductions given to private foundations and cemetery organizations are limited to 30% of taxpayer's adjusted gross income.  Charitable Contribution Record Keeping Taxpayers are responsible for keeping track of their donations. For any cash donation of $250 or more a contemporaneous statement from the organization is required to substantiate the deduction.  If volunteering the value of the taxpayer's time may not be deducted. However, the mileage they drive with their personal vehicle can be deducted at 14 cents per mile (2025). Also the direct costs associated with volunteering may be deducted. For non-cash donations of at least $500 written acknowledgement from the organization from the charity and Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions is required.  For non-cash donations valued at $5,000 or more a qualified appraiser must do an appraisal of the property, complete section B of Form 8283, and sign it along with someone from the charity.    Need Tax Help Now?

Taxpayers Footing the Bill as Government Pays Billion a Year to Non Existent People: Jan de Villiers by Radio Islam

This episode takes a closer look at what's really behind today's energy transition. David Blackmon talks with energy analyst Ronald Stein about why oil and refineries still matter so much from powering transportation and hospitals to producing the products we use every day. They discuss how wind and solar create electricity but can't yet replace the thousands of items built from oil derivatives.They also touch on California's refinery closures, the shift of energy companies to other states, and what these changes could mean for the economy and national security. With a global perspective on refining and “net zero” goals, the conversation offers a grounded look at the challenges and trade-offs of moving to renewable energy.Highlights of the Podcast00:00 – Introduction & Background01:30 – Energy Literacy & Products from Oil05:40 – Refinery Closures & National Security Concerns08:30 – Newsom Policies & Lack of Backup Plans12:55 – Industry Migration & Economic Impact17:30 – Aging Refineries & Offshoring21:46 – Global Refining & Misunderstood Net Zero Goals27:43 – Closing Thoughts & Call for Conversations

     Slam The Gavel Podcast welcomes Edyta (Edie) Hanna Basista. Edie is a civil rights advocate, trauma survivor, and pro se federal plaintiff in Basista & Palacios v. Batch, et al., a landmark constitutional lawsuit filed under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), and 1986, as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.     The case names 25 defendants, including judges, elected officials, attorneys, police officers, former spouses, licensed therapists, and state-contracted service providers, for their roles in a coordinated pattern of constitutional violations. Edyta's parental access was severed without a finding of unfitness, without an evidentiary hearing, and without lawful adjudication. Sealed trauma records were unlawfully disclosed. Court access was obstructed through procedural manipulation. Judicial actors refused to recuse despite personal and political conflicts, and retaliation was used to silence her legal efforts.     This is not a custody matter, it is a federal civil rights case grounded in binding U.S. Supreme Court precedent and asserting violations of the First, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments, the Supremacy Clause, the ADA, and VAWA. The lawsuit exposes how courts and state-aligned professionals weaponized trauma, disability status, and indigency to deny her access to justice — and how that abuse was not accidental, but institutional.     Edyta Basista stands not only for herself, but for every parent, survivor, and disabled litigant who has been denied a fair hearing under law. Her case demands federal enforcement of constitutional rights where state systems have failed, and forces the question: Who protects the rights of the vulnerable when the courts become the violators?To Reach Edie Basista:  ehbasista@gmail.com and on Facebook: Edie Basista.Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Representative Jordan Pace joins the show to unleash fury over Clemson University's refusal to immediately fire employees who publicly celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and called for more political killings. From explosive tweets to six-figure salaries funded by taxpayers, the scandal is raising questions about free speech, accountability, and the role of tenure in protecting radical rhetoric. Pace lays out his proposal to freeze Clemson's $300 million in state funding, end tenure across South Carolina universities, and finally strip DEI initiatives from taxpayer budgets. With pressure mounting from legislators, college Republicans, and even former President Trump, will Clemson's leadership act — or face defunding?

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Tennessee Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton to discuss how his state is leading the way on education freedom and fiscal responsibility. Sexton shares why parents, not bureaucrats, should decide how their children are educated and explains how Tennessee's bold school choice program is empowering families with more options. He also highlights how competition is driving public schools to improve while ensuring every student has the chance to succeed, no matter their zip code. The conversation doesn't stop with education. Speaker Sexton also pulls back the curtain on how Tennessee is saving taxpayers money by cutting waste, paying down debt, and pushing back against the strings that come attached to federal funding. From rejecting costly mandates to insisting on greater oversight of grant dollars, Sexton outlines a common-sense approach to governing that keeps taxes low and opportunities high. His story shows what principled leadership can accomplish when freedom and accountability come first.

On this week's Tipping Point interview Paul talks to Reilly Stephens. Reilly is Senior Counsel at the Liberty Justice Center which is representing Paul and the Rio Grande Foundation in court against the City of Albuquerque in a case (that was recently heard in Court) related to what RGF believes is a clear violation of the State's anti-donation clause. Between the "leak" of the Dobbs decision of the US Supreme Court (on abortion) and its actual issuance the Albuquerque City Council saw fit to donate $250,000 to Planned Parenthood, a pro-abortion group. We believe this is a clear violation of the anti-donation clause. Finally, Reilly's organization is ALSO leading legal opposition to President Trump's unilateral tariffs and will soon be arguing against those unilateral tariffs at the Supreme Court. Paul and Reilly discuss that as well. Rio Grande Foundation is an amicus in that case.

In this episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, Eric Green and Carlos Samaniego sit down at the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation's community center for a wide-ranging and candid discussion about the IRS's current state of disarray and what it means for tax professionals and their clients. From the revolving door of IRS Commissioners to the DOJ's surprising shift toward denaturalization cases tied to tax filings, they break down how these developments create both risks and opportunities for practitioners. Eric and Carlos also expose troubling practices among large tax resolution firms, explain why state tax agencies like Connecticut and California are often more aggressive than the IRS, and highlight strategies for protecting clients caught in the chaos. Whether you are a tax pro navigating refund lawsuits or competing against the “big box” resolution companies, this conversation delivers real-time insights, war stories, and actionable advice for surviving – and thriving – in today's turbulent enforcement environment.

There are many eponymous disorders and diseases, but Munchausen is an interesting case of a disease named after a character who is based on a real person.

In this Big Ideas for Smaller Government episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to expose the wasteful spending and inefficiencies at the General Services Administration (GSA)—the federal agency responsible for managing office buildings, procurement, and travel across the U.S. government. They revisit the infamous $800,000 Las Vegas conference scandal, complete with a $30,000 pool party and a 2,400 sq. ft. hotel suite—paid for by taxpayers. They also uncover the GSA's multi-billion-dollar mismanagement of a long-delayed Department of Homeland Security headquarters and reveal that the federal government is using just 25% of the office space it occupies. David and Jeremiah lay out a plan to save $1.88 billion over the next decade by selling underused federal buildings—many of which are sitting empty—and call on Congress to step up and demand accountability. This episode is a revealing look at how cutting GSA waste is one more step toward saving taxpayers trillions.
