Accounting for musical tastes

May 12, 2007

During tax-filing season, we had Tax Rap. Now it’s time for CPA Rock.

Next weekend, direct from the city that gave us grunge, accountants will put their musical talents on display to help raise money for scholarships at two Washington state colleges.

The actual May 19 Battle of the Bands concert will be on the Highline Community College campus in Des Moines, Wash., a Seattle suburb. Highline will be one accounting scholarship beneficiary; the other recipient school will be Central Washington University.

Seattle-area bands scheduled to compete are Disregarded Entity, Accounting Crows, Industry Audit Guys, Facial Depreciation and Terminal Liability. All of the musicians are members of the Washington Society of Certified Public Accountants.

This is WSCPA’s second annual fund-raising concert. If you live or will be in the Pacific Northwest next weekend, you can get more event details at the organization’s Battle of the Bands Web page.

Rock on, numbers crunchers!

Hello Tax Season 2026

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.)
