A tax lawyer’s ‘Date Night’

April 11, 2010

I'm not a big Steve Carell fan, probably because I really enjoyed the British version of The Office much more than the U.S. remake.

And Tina Fey's last big-screen outing didn't appeal to me at all.

So I was skeptical of "Date Night."

Lately though, the flick is starting to look a bit more appealing. At the Movies this week gave it a conditional OK (Michael Phillips says see it, while A.O. Scott suggests waiting for the DVD).

Then today, I learned a tidbit that makes it a must see: Carell's character is a tax lawyer.

Now I have no idea just how much his profession has to do with the plot, but at least it's apparently mentioned. And I'm tax geeky enough for that to make me give the film a shot. Hey, I liked Stranger Than Fiction.

Now whether I can convince the hubby to join me (after April 15, of course!) on our own, much less exciting (I hope!) date night remains to be seen.

Take a look: Speaking of seen, you can check out the Date Night trailer and a variety of clips at Rotten Tomatoes.

My favorite scenes are, of course, the Carell-Fey couple's snarky comments about fellow diners. Not that the hubby and I do anything so mean … very often!

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
