With Eide Bailly National Tax Office. Opinions mine, and usually mine only for some reason.

More tax reform apparently off the Congressional table. @joebwan.bsky.social @eidebailly.bsky.social roundup says Republican leaders want to focus on fully funding all of the Department of Homeland Security. They fear adding taxes to the reconciliation package could torpedo the DHS dollars effort.

@joebwan.bsky.social elaborates (& has links) in @eidebailly.bsky.social roundup on the marijuana move: state-legal weed businesses will be taxable on net income, like other businesses, rather than gross $. Also will be able to deduct normal biz expenses like salaries, rents, taxes, & depreciation.

An item in @joebwan.bsky.social @eidebailly.bsky.social tax roundup reminds me of olden paper check float days. IRS can only handle so many debits a day, so many e-payments made for April 15 will happen in the days following Tax Day. It could take up to 10 business days for payments to post.

Today's @joebwan.bsky.social's @eidebailly.bsky.social roundup hit home for me. There's an item on an Austin-area accountant sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for wire fraud & tax evasion in connection with bookeeping for a school for special needs children. Plus plenty for non-ATX readers!

We're not through with the current tax filing season, but Congressional Republicans already are looking at possible additional tax code changes this year. If that happens, an item in @joebwan.bsky.social @eidebailly.bsky.social roundup says expect Empire State Reps & Sens to get SALTy (IYKYK).
