IRS changes are reshaping how taxpayers interact with the government, how audits are conducted, and how business owners must approach compliance and planning.

In this episode, Tom Wheelwright—Robert Kiyosaki’s CPA—speaks with veteran tax professional Louanne Gagnon, owner of LT Gagnon, PLC. With more than 25 years of experience advising individuals, investors, and closely held businesses, Gagnon explains what is actually changing inside the IRS and what taxpayers often misunderstand.

You will learn:

• What current IRS operational and enforcement changes mean for taxpayers
• How audit risk may shift for business owners and investors
• Why proactive tax planning matters more than reactive tax filing
• How working with a knowledgeable tax professional protects your long-term financial goals
• Practical steps to stay compliant while still optimizing taxes

Wheelwright and Gagnon emphasize that taxes are not just a once-a-year filing requirement—they are a year-round strategy. Entrepreneurs who understand the direction of IRS policy can reduce risk, improve financial clarity, and make smarter investment decisions.
