A recent court ruling could unlock major refunds for taxpayers – but the clock is ticking. In this episode, Eric Green sits down with Kenny Dettman to break down the massive implications of the Kwong and Abdo decisions, as well as why they could mean widespread penalty and interest abatements tied to the COVID-era IRS shutdown period.

At the center of it all? The IRS’s handling of IRC §7508A during the federally declared disaster window from 2020 through mid-2023. According to recent rulings, deadlines may have been suspended, potentially invalidating penalties and interest assessed during that time. But here’s the catch: the deadline to act is July 11, 2026. They also discuss scalable solutions, including new tools designed to automate transcript retrieval, calculations, and filings, giving both taxpayers and practitioners a way to act before time runs out.

Whether you’re a tax professional or a taxpayer, this is one of those “don’t miss it” moments. Because come July 12… the opportunity may be gone for good. Tune in now and make sure you’re not the one saying, “Why didn’t I know about this?”

What happens when you stop following the “rules” everyone says you’re supposed to live—and build something entirely your own way?

In this episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, Eric Green sits down with entrepreneur and author Sharrin Fuller to unpack her unconventional journey from teenage worker to salon owner… to self-taught accountant… to building and selling multiple firms.

They dive into the real story behind her book Unfollow the Rules—including the highs, the hard lessons, and the parts most people never talk about. From skipping the traditional college path to navigating private equity deals, Sharrin shares what it actually takes to build a business that works for you—and what can go wrong if you’re not prepared.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to scale—or exit—your firm, this episode is a must-listen.  Raw, honest, and packed with hard-earned insight—this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, Eric Green sits down with Joe Woodard to break down the “strange new world” reshaping tax and accounting.

They dive into how AI is transforming everything—from automating prep work to enabling firms to scale faster, leaner, and more profitably than ever before. What used to take months (and six figures) can now be built in hours, changing the game for practitioners.

But this isn’t about replacing professionals—it’s about redefining them. Eric and Joe explain why the future belongs to those who shift from compliance work to advisory and representation, and how AI can solve the industry’s staffing crisis while creating massive opportunity.

If you want to understand where the profession is heading—and how to stay ahead of it—this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
