Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) National Chair Philip Hwang recently sat down with Tax Notes IRS reporter Ben Valdez to chat about this year’s tax filing season. Their discussion is featured on the Tax Notes Talk Podcast and covers everything from the TAP mission, IRS staff reductions, recent tax law changes, and more. We encourage you to take a listen.
You can access the episode, IRS Advisory Committee Chair Previews 2026 Filing Season, using your favorite podcast player, on the Tax Notes website (with a subscription), or on YouTube.
