As Americans celebrate independence, a lesser-known federal tax credit tied to Native American tribal negotiations is offering its own version of financial freedom—up to 40% off federal tax liability, no clawbacks, and five years to use it.

On this special Independence Week episode of The Concierge CPA podcast, host Jackie Meyer, CPA, sits down with Chad Koebnick, vice president of Specialized Tax Services at Nepsis, to explore a strategy that could permanently reduce taxes—and permanently change the way we think about advisory.
