Taylor will also explore how different House and Senate control scenarios could affect the prospects for tax legislation, IRS priorities, and emerging policy issues such as artificial intelligence. These topics are particularly relevant for tax professionals as Congress and the IRS continue to address tax-law implementation, modernization, taxpayer service, and technology priorities.
Learning Objectives

- Compare how alternative House and Senate control scenarios could affect the prospects for significant tax policy changes.
- Identify tax and tax-administration issues most likely to advance, or encounter barriers, under unified and divided government.
- Recognize emerging federal policy questions involving AI and their potential implications for tax professionals, taxpayers, and the IRS.
- Explain how the 2026 midterm results could influence party priorities, political coalitions, and the early landscape of the 2028 presidential election.
