Isn’t that just the production budget for AppleTV+ shows?

As an accountant named Steve, I agree.

Exceptions to the exceptions to the rules are what makes the tax code complex.

The title of this book (which is magnificent) is one syllable short of a haiku.

This Is Real and You
Are Completely Unprepared
The Days of Awe

To me, there’s meaning to be uncovered there, as well.

40 minutes? That cook time just shows this is not the recipe to follow.

deficit increase of extending the TCJA provisions would fit under the budget resolution deficit restrictions. We will see if this prediction is remotely correct when we get the new tax law late in 2025.

If the ten-year deficit increase for extending all the provisions were $4T, and the ten-year deficit increase allowed by the budget resolution were $2T, then the five-year (or maybe six-year, depending on the CBO scoring)

This is just a creative way to get $4T in tax reduction and ignoring the deficit increase.

All of this leads me to my prediction: the new tax law will extend the TCJA provisions for five years.
