Notes de l’épisode
The Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February, so why are Americans still paying tariffs? The administration replaced them, first with temporary Section 122 tariffs and now with 10 to 12.5 percent Section 301 tariffs on nearly every US trading partner.
Kyle sits down with cohost Erica York to catch up on tariff policy. Together, they look at how tariffs may cancel out the investment boost from full expensing and discuss the ongoing court cases that could still strike down the new tariffs.

What happens when voters decide tax policy directly? This November, roughly 40 tax measures are on the ballot across 17 states. Some states want higher taxes on top earners, others want to write low rates into their constitutions, and Missouri voters will decide whether to start a fund that could one day replace every state tax.
Joining Kyle and Erica is Janelle Fritts, Senior Policy Analyst at the Tax Foundation. Together, they break down the measures worth watching, from property tax relief to new rules for how taxes get passed.Follow us!

Notes de l’épisode
Ten years ago, then-Speaker Paul Ryan and Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady released the “Better Way” Tax Plan, the blueprint that would eventually become the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017—the largest overhaul of the US tax code in over 30 years.
With the national debt climbing, Social Security heading toward insolvency, and tariffs reshaping the economy, the next round of reforms will demand bold ideas and a serious look at the trade-offs they carry.
In this special anniversary episode of The Deduction, hosts Erica York and Kyle Hulehan sit down with the plan’s original architects to talk through how it came together, the bold bets they made (and the ones that didn’t pan out, like the border adjustment tax), what a decade of hindsight reveals about its economic impact, and where tax reform goes from here.

Notes de l’épisode
Most Americans don't understand how the tax code works, and it's costing them. In this episode of The Deduction, host Kyle Hulehan sits down with Zoe Callaway, VP of Education at Tax Foundation, to talk about tax and financial literacy in America. They dig into the results of Tax Foundation's national survey on tax literacy, the most stubborn misconceptions people have about taxes (including one that nearly made a teacher turn down her own promotion), and what's happening in high school classrooms across the country. They also connect everyday tax confusion to bigger policy questions, from tariffs to tax refunds.

Notes de l’épisode
Should you have to file a tax return in a state where you babysat for one hour? In 22 states, the answer is technically yes.
In this episode of The Deduction, host Kyle Hulehan and co-host Erica York sit down with Katherine Loughead, Director of State Tax Projects at the Tax Foundation, to break down the tangled mess of state nonresident income tax laws — and why they're a growing problem in the remote work era.
Katherine walks us through how credits for taxes paid to other states are supposed to prevent double taxation, why "convenience rules" in 8 states can saddle remote workers with two full tax bills, how a wild patchwork of filing thresholds creates confusion for workers and employers alike, and what reforms states should adopt to simplify the system.

Together they examine what current labor market data actually shows, why proposals from Senators Sanders and Kelly risk backfiring, and what smarter reforms like worker retraining deductions and consumption-based taxation would strengthen the tax code no matter how the AI story unfolds.
