States are continuing to try to limit the scope of Public Law 86‑272 (“P.L. 86-272”), and a recently filed Wisconsin case highlights this trend. On January 28, 2026, Crutchfield Corporation and Crutchfield New Media, LLC (collectively, “Crutchfield Companies”) filed a declaratory judgment action in the Wisconsin Circuit Court for Dane County against the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, the Secretary of Revenue, and the Wisconsin Attorney General, challenging a Wisconsin administrative regulation that interprets P.L. 86‑272.…
Artificial intelligence, or more commonly AI, seems to be what everyone is talking about nowadays. Businesses are investing hundreds of billions into AI research and, in parallel, integrating AI products into their day-to-day operations in order to maximize business savings and obtain a competitive advantage over their competitors.

On September 27, 2018, the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly passed legislation amending certain provisions of the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax (“CBT”) reform bill that was enacted earlier this year (“Technical Amendments”). In July, Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Legislature enacted a $37.4 billion budget package (the “Budget Bill”) that implements sweeping changes to the CBT. Among these changes are mandatory unitary combined reporting, market-based sourcing, and a new four-year surtax on corporations with over $1 million of allocated taxable net income. The Technical Amendments, which are awaiting Governor Murphy’s signature, make several changes to the Budget Bill. A summary of the most noteworthy provisions contained in the Budget Bill and Technical Amendments is below.
The Florida Department of Revenue (the “Department”) recently published Technical Assistance Advisement No. 17C1-004 (decided Apr. 17, 2017, published Aug. 25, 2017) (the “TAA”), which addresses how receipts from “other sales” are sourced under Florida’s apportionment regulation (i.e., Florida Administrative Code Regulation (“Regulation”) 12C-1.0155(2)(l)). Despite the cost-of-performance (“COP”) language explicitly stated in Florida’s Regulation 12C-1.0155(2)(l), the Department applied a market-based sourcing approach, concluding that the receipts from certain services should be sourced to Florida when the taxpayer’s customers are physically located in the state. While Technical Assistance Advisements have no precedential value, the TAA showcases Florida’s propensity to use market-based sourcing for receipts from “other sales,” which appears to be in contrast to the COP directive under Florida Regulation 12C-1.0155(2)(l).
