The results of this election will fundamentally affect the direction of tax legislation for the next two years until the 2028 election. This unique panel will bring together voices familiar with the inner workings of Congress and the tax community, both from the perspective of working inside and outside of government. It will give the tax community an early look at what the election results mean for professionals working in the tax arena, ranging from return preparers to tax attorneys. In addition, this session will explore what may happen in a lame-duck session this fall as the current Congress wraps up work before year’s end. There is the possibility of Congress giving final consideration to the Taxpayer Assistance and Service (TAS) Act, a sweeping set of provisions that have wide support in the tax community. And the panel will also explore if other tax proposals have a chance to make it into law during the final weeks of 2026. ## Credit Types: ![IRS Provider Logo Continuing Education](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Layer_1.png) ![National Registry of CPE Sponsors](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/image-1.png) EARN 1 CE CREDITS EARN 1 CPE CREDITS DURATION: 1 Hour [SIGN UP TODAY!](https://learn.alfi.org/alfi/crystal-ball-what-the-election-means-for-the-tax-community) ![](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/themes/alfi/assets/images/instructor-bg-4.jpg) ![Headshot of Terry Lemons](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Terry-500x500-upscale.png) Terry Lemons Director of Public Relations [VIEW COURSES](https://www.alfi.org/instructor/terry-lemons/) ![](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/themes/alfi/assets/images/instructor-bg-2.png) ![Thad Headshot](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Thad-500x500-upscale.png) Thad Inge Legislative Counsel for NAEA / Vice President [VIEW COURSES](https://www.alfi.org/instructor/thad-inge/) ![](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/themes/alfi/assets/images/instructor-bg-3.png) ![Bernie Headshot](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Bernie-500x500-upscale.png) Bernie Becker Reporter [VIEW COURSES](https://www.alfi.org/instructor/bernie-becker/) ![](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/themes/alfi/assets/images/instructor-bg-1.png) ![Cady Headshot](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Cady-500x500-upscale.png) Cady Stanton Reporter [VIEW COURSES](https://www.alfi.org/instructor/cady-stanton/) ## Related Courses ![EIDL Aftermath: Navigating Delinquent Loans and Collection Tactics](https://www.alfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/default-class-image.png) ### EIDL Aftermath: Navigating Delinquent Loans and Collection Tactics 1 CPE Credit 1 CE Credit Duration: 1 Hour Course Date: 11/10/2026 Time: 1:00pm ET [INSTRUCTOR Daniel Staeven, Esq.
