Tax Felon Friday

January 19, 2025

Tax Felon Friday began in the summer of 2023. Specifically on July 7, 2023.

The idea popped into my head as I was searching for a blog post topic and wishing I was out enjoying the summer day. Voilà! A new feature was born.

It lived past its summer origin, and as I posted the first tax crime related item on a Friday — this Friday, Jan. 19; the two earlier Friday posts of 2024 were devoted to the new filing season — I decided to collect all the previous Tax Felon Friday posts, and future ones, on a new blog page.

And then, when mid-May 2025 rolled around, Tax Felon Friday again found it’s way into the blogging rotation.

I do post about tax and financial crime on other days, when the impetus for the posts is more timely. And sometimes, there just isn’t a tax crime that I find interesting enough to post on a Friday.

But when a tax crime piece is posted on Fridays, it’ll get the Tax Felon Friday appellation and end up here, as well as in the general tax crimes category.

So, if tax crime is your jam, bookmark this page. Also check out the tax crime posts that appeared on other weekdays by perusing, as I mentioned, the tax crimes category.

Now I’m off to watch some non-tax true crime TV shows!

2026 transition: Since I last focused on tax felons, the ol’ blog moved to a new platform. That happened Sept. 30 and the transition messed up my regular features as that date of going from the now defunct TypePad to Bluehost neared.

That explains that big October/November hole!

I’m still working on getting things back on track. That’s why I’m putting 2026 Tax Felon Friday posts here at the top of this 2025 list. Thanks for your understanding of the temporary merge.

TAX-SAVVY WAYS 
TO WRAP UP 2026

It’s over! With October’s extended filing deadline behind us, it is now time to focus on year-end moves to reduce your 2026 tax bill. 

You’ll find ways to do just that on the Tax Tips page (see the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of the blog), as well as the separate tax tip pages for each month, notably October through December. If you’re on the Tax Tips page, you’ll find a monthly list at the end of this column. If you’re on another blog page, you can head straight to the October tips; at the bottom of that tips page you’ll find links to all the other 11 months’ collections of tax advice.

Not to spoil what you’ll find in that tax advice, but it does cover such things as tax deductions for charitable donations, investment moves that could reduce tax due, and ways to max out your tax-favored retirement savings. 

Finally, as the year winds down, things get hectic. There are lots of other things to occupy our time, like the much more fun upcoming holidays. But don’t lose sight of taxes, since timing is key. To be of use, most tax moves must be made by the end of the tax year. That’s Thursday, Dec. 31, which also is the last business day of the year. 

So that you don’t miss that final tax year deadline, also keep an eye on the countdown clock below. It will keep you on top of just how much time is left to make important, tax-saving moves. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
