  • Taxpayers 'Gamble' by Committing Fraud, Even With Diminished IRS

    Taxpayers 'Gamble' by Committing Fraud, Even With Diminished IRS
    Dec 3 2025
    Anyone thinking about pushing the boundaries of tax law should remember that there's no federal statute of limitations on prosecuting fraud, even with weakened IRS enforcement, said Carolyn Schenck, who spent 20 years at the agency primarily combating tax evasion. "If people think that a current administration or a past administration might go soft on tax fraud, that's still an awfully big gamble," said Schenck, who's now at Caplin & Drysdale. "And I know that that's not one I personally would want to take." The IRS is coming off a tumultuous year with deep staffing cuts from the Trump administration's efforts to downsize the federal government and a parade of new commissioners. But increasing IRS staff and resources would be one of the best ways the government could combat fraud and collect more of the money it's owed, Schenck said. On this episode of Talking Tax, Schenck sat down with Bloomberg Tax reporter Erin Schilling to discuss what Trump administration workforce cuts mean for IRS enforcement and how the agency could improve its efforts to go after illegal tax shelters, even with a diminished staff.

  • Cross-Border Tax Fraud an Old Story, Roman Scroll Shows (Rerun)

    Cross-Border Tax Fraud an Old Story, Roman Scroll Shows (Rerun)
    Nov 26 2025
    For the holidays, we serve up an encore presentation of a Talking Tax podcast that shows cross-border tax fraud has been around a long time. When researchers studied a previously mislabeled scroll, they discovered detailed attorney notes for a case against taxpayers accused of using forged documents and sham transactions between the Roman provinces of Judaea and Arabia to escape taxes on their assets. The assets in question were enslaved people. The potential punishments included distinctly unmodern measures. Anna Dolganov of the Austrian Academy of Sciences talked with reporter Caleb Harshberger about how scholars made the discovery, details of the scheme, and what they’re hoping to uncover next as they continue their research.

    What Comes Next for the IRS and Tax After the Long Shutdown
    Nov 19 2025
    Congress is back after ending the longest shutdown in US history. But the bipartisan accord left funding for the IRS and Treasury Department ending in less than three months and the fate of the enhanced premium tax credits at the center of the crisis still unresolved. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax Congress reporter Zach C. Cohen and Bloomberg Government health policy reporter Erin Durkin discuss next steps for appropriating funds for the IRS and Treasury after current funding runs dry Jan. 30, and potential legislative solutions to rising health-care premiums.
