The 2025 tax season is underway, bringing with it a wave of retroactive law changes that could significantly impact your bottom line. But with a shrinking IRS workforce and a brand-new "CEO" at the helm, will taxpayers get the answers—and refunds—they need? Join Tom Wheelwright as he breaks down the new rules for SALT deductions, R&D expensing, and the "marriage penalty" with his guest, Andrew Lautz from the Bipartisan Policy Center. Andrew Lautz serves as the director of tax policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center, where he is responsible for leading the organization's federal tax policy portfolio. In this role, Lautz conducts research, develops policy recommendations, and engages with lawmakers and stakeholders on a variety of tax issues, from the Child Tax Credit to international tax reform. His insights on tax policy have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Bloomberg, among other major publications. Previously, he was the Director of Federal Policy for National Taxpayers Union (NTU) and NTU Foundation. Lautz holds a B.A. in political communication and an M.P.S. in political management from The George Washington University. In this episode, discover how the "One Big Beautiful Bill" has triggered an IRS staffing crisis, why the new $40,000 SALT cap includes a hidden "marriage penalty," and the critical tax strategies entrepreneurs must use to navigate retroactive changes to R&D and bonus depreciation.
