    Great podcast over all. Could you do an episode on the Net Unrealized Appreciation. Specifically I have heard that there is tag saving on moving stock options after a trigger event to a brokerage account so potential tax savings. How would this change gross income in the year to pay less in taxes compared to other distribution methods. Thanks! Keep up the podcast.

  • Keep it focused on tax

    People get enough of the ultra woke mandatory training at the office, so they probably aren’t going to voluntarily listen to it here. I would think you want to keep it “tax technical” to keep your listener base in tact… just a suggestion.

  • EV credit - both sides of the debate

    Will you have a part II episode on the EV credit that discuss the point of view from the Republicans side? I think it would be beneficial to learn about this topic from both sides of the aisle. Thanks.

  • Color blind IRS episode

    Per the interview “there is no list of adults in the US”. Actually, that’s called the census. Yes the service should be blind. Tax returns should not be a demographic survey it should be about paying your taxes.
