Lucas and Luna sit down with the thick blue volume of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code between them, tracing the threads that connect personal income tax brackets to corporate tax inversions. Each episode examines one specific fiscal lever — the corporate rate, the carried interest loophole, the earned income tax credit — and traces its real-world effects on capital allocation, wage growth, and federal revenue. They avoid partisan shouting matches; instead, they walk through the arithmetic of a tax expenditure, compare it to direct spending, and ask how the burden actually falls. Lucas holds a fountain pen, drawing marginal-rate curves on scrap paper. Luna pushes back with case studies: how Ireland's 12.5% rate reshaped global pharmaceutical supply chains, or how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed buyback behavior. This show is for anyone who reads the Joint Committee on Taxation reports and wants to understand not just what the law says but what it does. No lobbyists, no spin — just

How the Tax Code Taxes Your Bitcoin in 2026
Aug 21, 20269 minS4
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the murky world of cryptocurrency taxation as of August 2026. With the IRS tightening rules and recent legislative changes, they explore how the tax code treats Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets. From mining and staking to NFTs and airdrops, they break down the latest guidance, including the infamous 'wash sale' rule changes and the new 1099-DA form. Lucas shares a specific example of a taxpayer who got hit with a surprise tax bill from a hard fork, and Luna brings up the debate over whether crypto should be taxed as property or currency. They also touch on international reporting requirements and the future of digital dollar taxation. If you've ever wondered whether you owe taxes on that crypto you bought years ago, this episode is for you. #CryptoTax #Bitcoin #Ethereum #IRS #TaxCode #DigitalAssets #CryptoMining #Staking #NFT #Airdrop #WashSale #1099DA #TaxSeason #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxPolicy #CryptoInvesting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of The Tax Policy Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack tax increment financing, or TIF, the quietly powerful tool cities use to fund redevelopment. They trace a single TIF district in Chicago from its 1998 creation to the present day, showing how the tax revenue generated by new development gets captured to pay off bonds. Lucas explains the mechanics: frozen property tax assessments, the 'increment' that flows to developer-backed projects, and the municipal debt that often outlives the promised boom. Luna brings the counterpoint, pointing to studies showing TIF districts often fail to deliver the promised jobs and growth, while diverting revenue from schools and other public services. They also touch on the broader 2026 landscape, where interest rates make these bonds costlier and states face pressure to rein in the tool. A sharp, accessible look at a fiscal mechanism that shapes skylines and school budgets alike, and why the new arena or office tower might be costing more than you think. #TaxIncrementFinancing #MunicipalDebt #TIFDistricts #UrbanDevelopment #PropertyTax #PublicFinance #EconomicDevelopment #Chicago #Infrastructure #GovernmentBonds #TaxPolicy #LocalGovernment #FiscalPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxPodcast #Finance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of The Tax Policy Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack the hidden tax subsidies behind America's billion-dollar stadium boom. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup fresh in the rearview, they drill into the mechanics of municipal bond financing, property tax abatements, and sales tax kickbacks that cities hand to team owners. Using the recently completed Las Vegas stadium as a case study, they break down how a $2 billion venue was funded with $750 million in public money — and why the promised economic revival often falls short. They explore the 'halo effect' of intangible benefits, the political economy of stadium deals, and whether the tide is finally turning as cities like Oakland and St. Louis push back. Expect sharp analysis, real numbers, and a healthy dose of skepticism about who really wins when the public picks up the tab. If you've ever wondered why your city's budget is tight while a new arena goes up, this episode is for you. #TaxPolicy #StadiumSubsidies #MunicipalBonds #EconomicDevelopment #SportsEconomics #PublicFinance #LasVegasStadium #2026WorldCup #PropertyTax #SalesTax #UrbanPolicy #FiscalPolicy #TaxBreaks #GovernmentSpending #Economics #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of The Tax Policy Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack a confusing corner of the tax code: how the IRS treats state tax refunds. They walk through the key distinction between taking the standard deduction versus itemizing, explain why some refunds are taxable and others aren't, and break down the 'tax benefit rule' with a concrete example. They also touch on how the 2018 cap on state and local tax deductions changed the math for millions of filers, and what that means for refunds in 2026. If you've ever wondered whether you owe federal tax on a state refund, this episode gives you the clear, practical answer. Plus, they discuss why a state refund could be a sign you're giving the government an interest-free loan—and how to adjust your withholding to fix that. No jargon, no fluff, just the tax facts you can actually use. #StateTaxRefund #TaxBenefitRule #ItemizedDeductions #StandardDeduction #SALT #TaxWithholding #FederalTax #StateTax #TaxSeason #IRS #TaxTips #TaxPolicy #Economics #PersonalFinance #TaxPlanning #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Tax Credits for Electric Vehicles Really Work in 2026
Aug 17, 202614 minS4
In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the 2026 electric vehicle tax credit landscape, focusing on the point-of-sale transfer system and the battery sourcing requirements that determine eligibility. They discuss a typical purchase scenario, how the credit phases out by income, and the difference between a credit and a rebate. They also explore what happens if you take the credit at the dealership but end up not qualifying, plus the used EV credit and the commercial clean vehicle credit loophole. If you've ever wondered whether you'd actually get the full $7,500 or just a fraction, this episode walks through the math and the fine print, with a look at how manufacturers like Tesla and Ford handle the credits. Tune in for a practical, numbers-driven explanation of one of the most talked-about tax incentives today. #ElectricVehicleTaxCredit #EVTaxCredit2026 #CleanVehicleCredit #PointOfSaleTransfer #BatterySourcing #IncomePhaseOut #UsedEVCredit #CommercialVehicleCredit #Tesla #Ford #IRS #TaxReconciliation #Economics #TaxPolicy #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxSeason Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
