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 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.)
