    The Most Unusual Tax Season in Years—and How to Stay Ahead

    This is not a normal tax season—and this is not a year for procrastination. In this episode of The Jeff Trapp Podcast, I break down why the current tax environment is unlike anything we’ve seen in years. Between IRS staffing shortages, processing delays, increased scrutiny, and lingering backlogs, the system isn’t broken; it’s overwhelmed. And when the IRS is overwhelmed, taxpayers who wait until the last minute often pay the price. I walk through the key deadlines you need to be aware of, why filing an extension doesn’t extend the time to pay, and how inflation, interest rates, and a massive federal deficit are shaping the government’s growing need for revenue. More importantly, I reframe how taxes should be viewed altogether. The tax code is an incentive-based system, and for high earners and business owners, there are legitimate ways to redirect tax dollars into government-incentivized investments, such as real estate, energy projects, and strategic business reinvestment—while staying fully compliant. Tax season isn’t just about filing a return. It’s about strategy, planning, and being intentional long before the deadline. If you’re earning $500,000 or more and want to stop reacting to tax season and start planning proactively, you can book a consultation with my team to review your situation and explore your options. We'll even share a copy of our tax playbook: https://www.thetaxplanningpros.com/contact-us#BookAConsultation
