Conformity debates will be a central issue as states decide how to align their tax codes with recent federal changes. States will evaluate adopting provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and determine necessary statutory and administrative updates. Adoption of artificial intelligence tools for tax administration and compliance will increase, prompting considerations about accuracy, transparency, and oversight. State revenue agencies will weigh modernization benefits against enforcement, privacy, and fairness concerns. Legislative sessions and administrative rulemaking in 2026 will likely focus on balancing tax policy objectives with technological integration and federal-state alignment.
