Tariff Refund Opportunity for Accountants & Taxpayers Don't Trust AI
About this episode
Blake and David discuss the implications of the recent SCOTUS ruling on tariffs and the declining trust in AI for tax preparation.
SCOTUS just struck down Trump’s global tariffs—so who gets the $133B back, and how can firms capture advisory fees helping clients claim refunds? Blake and David unpack importer-of-record refunds, contingency-fee questions, and why “that’s pure profit.” Plus: taxpayers’ trust in AI tax prep is falling, creators’ $205B economy is a prime niche, TurboTax’s Uber-to-the-office play, Big Law’s $3,400/hour AI squeeze, and Dawn Brolin’s nonprofit sending first-timers to conferences you can support.
