  • Tax Filing Season Is Underway: Here's How It's Going So Far

    Tax Filing Season Is Underway: Here's How It's Going So Far
    Mar 11 2026
    There are about five weeks left in tax filing season — the busiest time of year for the IRS and tax preparers. IRS CEO Frank Bisignano told lawmakers earlier this month the tax season has so far been a success, with quick refund turnaround times and a shrinking backlog. That is despite a tumultuous 2025 for the agency, when the IRS lost about a quarter of its workforce to resignation offers, began implementing the GOP's new tax-and-spending law, and managed the fallout of the longest government shutdown in US history. Tom O'Saben, director of tax content and government relations at the National Association of Tax Professionals, said tax preparers also aren't hearing a ton of complaints from clients either. On this episode of Talking Tax, O'Saben joined Bloomberg Tax reporter Erin Slowey to discuss how filing season is going, the impact of changes from the 2025 law, and what to do if you don't have the money to pay taxes by the deadline. "Don't put your head in the sand and say 'I know I am going to owe so I am just not going to file,'" O'Saben said. "That's a bad idea." Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

  • States Still Decoupling From GOP Tax Law Deep Into Filing Season

    States Still Decoupling From GOP Tax Law Deep Into Filing Season
    Mar 4 2026
    Tax-filing season is well underway, and yet many states are still figuring out whether to conform to or decouple from provisions in last year's GOP-led tax overhaul, especially the deductions and other breaks for corporate taxpayers. The upshot is one of the more complicated filing periods in recent years. Corporate taxpayers are watching which states reject federal tax policy changes, such as those related to immediate expensing for research and development or property investments. Just in the past week, lawmakers in Republican-controlled states like Florida and Democrat-led states like Oregon moved ahead in decoupling from some of those corporate tax provisions to preserve billions of dollars in state revenue. Then there's the unique situation in Washington, DC, where a local law severing the city's tax code from more than a dozen provisions in the 2025 federal tax rewrite was met with Congress's formal disapproval. That set off a dispute between Capitol Hill and city leaders over whether the district's decoupling measure is in effect. (DC officials say it is.) Most of all, corporate taxpayers are looking for clarity from the states as they plan their filings, Scott Roberti, a managing director focusing on state and local tax in EY's national tax practice, says on this week's episode of Talking Tax. Roberti tells Bloomberg Tax editor Benjamin Freed that so far, at least 17 states have issued some sort of guidance on the conformity issue. Roberti hopes the remainder finish up soon in time for the end of filing season and quarter-end accounting. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

  • Tariff Refunds Would Threaten Tax, Transfer Pricing Headaches

    Tariff Refunds Would Threaten Tax, Transfer Pricing Headaches
    Feb 25 2026
    The Supreme Court's decision to nix a wide swath of the Trump administration's tariffs comes with some big tax and transfer pricing questions for tax executives as companies battle to collect refunds from the government. The court's 6-3 ruling sets up what would be a messy refund process, though the justices basically said nothing about it, leaving companies to take their claims to court. If the refunds come in, businesses will have to figure out how to apportion funds across subsidiaries —sometimes across borders — without breaking transfer pricing rules, which govern the pricing of affiliate transactions and ultimately determine where taxes are owed. The rules say related-party transfers must be priced as though they were done at arm’s length, in the open marketplace. Companies that don't do it right risk a tax agency audit. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax transfer pricing reporter Caleb Harshberger discusses the sticky tax and transfer pricing issues surrounding tariffs and the possibility of refunds.
