Send us Fan MailEpisode 445 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 26)The 1981 Tax Bill, TEFRA, and Ronald ReaganIn Episode 445 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we examine one of the most consequential policy chapters of the early 1980s — and one that placed Dole at the center of economic policymaking in Washington.This episode focuses on two landmark pieces of legislation:• The sweeping 1981 tax cuts championed by Ronald Reagan — a cornerstone of the Reagan economic program that aimed to stimulate growth and reshape the federal tax system • And the follow-up legislation, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA), designed to close loopholes and address the fiscal challenges that emerged in the wake of those cutsAs Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Bob Dole played a critical and often underappreciated role in navigating both efforts — balancing ideological goals with the practical realities of governing.This episode explores:• How the 1981 tax bill was crafted and passed • The economic and political consequences that followed • Why TEFRA became necessary just one year later • The tension between tax reduction and fiscal responsibility • The working relationship between Dole and President Reagan — cooperation, negotiation, and occasional frictionAt the heart of the story is a fundamental question: how do you govern when policy goals collide with fiscal reality?Through these debates, we see Bob Dole not just as a political figure, but as a legislative strategist — working within the system to make ambitious policy function in the real world.From bold tax cuts… to difficult corrections… and a partnership that helped define an era.This is the story of policy, power, and pragmatism in the early Reagan years.

Only two cases have addressed whether partnerships subject to the special proceedings created by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) are able to make a qualified offer. Just one of these cases yielded a decision with precedential value, and it explained that TEFRA partnerships are entitled to file qualified offers. Nevertheless, the IRS seems entrenched in its traditional position, arguing as recently as September 2020, in a pending Tax Court case, that TEFRA partnerships are ineligible to file qualified overs, period. This article describes the rules related to qualified offers, the two cases addressing the TEFRA partnerships issue, the current stance of the IRS, and the likely result of this standoff, now and in the future.
Several weeks prior to Evan's passing away, Lauren had sat down with us to discuss something near and dear to her heart, Evan's Private Duty Nursing. She shares how the nurses are extensions of their family and how they allow her to wear a mom-hat for Evan when they are there, and not just his care takers. Our conversation about private duty nursing expanded into the subtopic of TEFRA and Lauren does a beautiful job explaining how TEFRA impacted their life and helps them in so many ways! #TEFRA #SelfCare #HomeHealth #PrivateDutyNursing #Menkes #EvansArmy
