More than 30 anti-war protesters were arrested today when they crossed a barricade and
blocked entrances at the IRS building in Washington, D.C.
The demonstrators said they were focusing on the IRS because it gathers taxes used to fund the Iraq war. "We need to find lots of different ways to resist the war, and I decided to try this," said one picketer.
I’m sure the IRS took a tiny bit of consolation in the fact that they weren’t run-of-the-mill tax protesters.

Tax filing season is also peak time for tax scams. Be on the lookout for…
Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
