I’m no a lawyer, but it is my understanding Chevron applies in cases where the laws passed by Congress contain ambiguity where agencies and, by extension the President, then create regulations that interpret the law and become enshrined in the Code of Federal Regulation and sometimes run amok in doing so, even though, under Chevron, the agency interpretation was supposed to be “reasonable”. I don’t think it applies to income tax in general or specific tax rates, or allowable deductions because those are enshrined in the law as passed by Congress, but it would apply when the IRS creates rules and regulations to interpret complex tax laws. I think it basically means Congress needs to get their act together and ensure the legislation they pass is explicit and clear rather than relying on agencies to draft clarifying regulations. Chevron has only been in existence since 1984.
I have seen an argument that if Chevron is overturned that Congress will simply pass a law giving the agencies the specific authority that previously existed under Chevron.
One other thing to note, this is on a go forward basis, I don’t believe it nullifies anything that has been settled under Chevron in the past.
