They throw them out there. They fill them out. They get it done ‘cause they want to move forward. They don’t want to look at the past, but then what happens is the government can look at the past.” - Judy Vorndran [04:17]“I think what we’re hearing is that the city has taken a reasonable approach to wanting to earn prospective taxpayers, right? So we don’t know yet how they’re going to enforce this, but the way that this is written seems like they can enforce it harshly. Whether they will chose to or not is not clear.” - Alexander Korzhen [06:32] Relevant Links:Chicago’s Information Bulletin – Nexus and Safe HarborSubscribe on your favorite podcast app:https://saltovation.captivate.fm/listenhttps://linktr.ee/taxops Follow Us on Socialshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/taxops-llchttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMB1ZQNGXM_F777SIEl8Vjw Talk To A Tax Advocate TodayTaxOps Website: https://taxops.com/contact/Production SupportThis episode was produced with support from Truth Work Media. www.truthworkmedia.comMentioned in this episode:Schedule a Call with the Aprio Team Now!Introductory Call
