i don't know enough about tax codes and how business works to comment on the actual policy, but it sure does seem to me that changes that result in immediate and massive new liabilities are unfair.
- cma 3y agoI think the big problem with this is just the accounting burden: now even salaried programmers have to track hours between greenfield and maintenance development.

Much better than time cards unless you’re a government contractor.
- gumby 3y ago> changes that result in immediate and massive new liabilities are unfair. Congress knows this: the law was passed in 2017 but only took effect for tax year 2022. This very issue was widely discussed at the time. That was five years to figure out what to do and your CFO (or at the very least your tax accountant) should have been warning you. I mean, if your tax accountant doesn't know the tax law that's a bad thing.
