The Joint Committee on Taxation is up late and busts out this striking distributional analysis of the Senate bill on taxes:

Happy tax day to those who celebrate!

For us exempt tax folks, only one month to go!

Mike Johnson just pulled the vote on the budget resolution. This thread explains why.

Republicans can't go forward with their reconciliation bill to cut taxes for the rich while taking away Medicaid and SNAP until they can agree to an identical budget resolution in each chamber.
The House is holding open an unrelated vote as leadership is meeting with the conservative holdouts on the budget resolution.

The issue at play: the Senate version gives flexibility - and the right wing holdouts are worried that they could walk out of this without *enough* cuts to Medicaid & SNAP.

Internet language like “woke gender ideology” showing up in government documents will never not be cringe to me.

At some point in his career, Chet Atkins adopted the title “Certified Guitar Player”, the coolest of the professional certifications. Wonder what the continuing education requirements are for that.

Federal workers mandated to return to the office full time and hiring at the IRS frozen until the Secretary of the Treasury decides it’s in the national interest to lift it?

The shorter call times were nice. Godspeed to our colleagues in the Service.

Seems like today is as good a day as any to say this, and I realize the mechanics were convoluted (they’d have to be), but I liked the idea of Harris’s unrealized capital gains tax.

On the flight home from a work trip this afternoon, the man next to me intensely played Balatro for the entire 4 hour trip. Gotta appreciate that level of “locked in”-ness.

Quickly approaching the time of year where I am most grateful to work in nonprofit tax: when folks are looking for someone to do their personal return. (I have good referral CPAs though!)

Current Christmas song obsession: Black Marble’s cover of “All I Want for Christmas is You”.

Best and most appropriate YT comment: “This song is like Christmas but you’re in the club crying in a corner.”
