Larry Heikel here. I am a retired CPA. Thank you for this article. I had discovered the same issue this summer, while reviewing our personal wills and the Federal / State exemptions. I also had contact with the DOR, and I was disappointed that no one had made the effort at the DOR or Legislature to recognize the change in the Federal BLS CPA index.
Since that time, I have organized a grass roots effort among family & friends & industry groups to contact their legislators.
In August 2024, I contacted the office of Wa. St. Rep. Jim Walsh. He is the House Majority leader for the GOP. His office confirmed they will draft a bill in the upcoming session. And they will get back to me in December with their bill number and committees. I will keep you posted.
Last, if OK with you, I would like to share your 3/23/2023 posting within my grass roots effort. I look forward to your reply.
