What’s ahead in the 2019 tax law journey

August 30, 2019

It's Friday. The last Friday of the month. A Friday heading into a three-day weekend.

So I'm being lazy. I'm shifting Shout Out Saturday to Friday, or as I call it on these special days Focus Friday.

The focus this Friday leading into the Labor Day weekend is tax laws.

Lee Reems II, a Twitter tax pal and CEO of ClientWhys, CountingWorks.com and TaxBuzz.com obviously is a busy guy. But he still had the time this week to pull together a good overview of tax law changes still in the works in the wake of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017.

Or as Lee puts it, U.S. Tax Law Changes: How Far We've Come and Where We're Headed.

In addition to highlighting seven pending tax proposals, and no I'm not even giving you highlights because (a) the purpose of Shout Out Whatever Day is to send you to another good tax site and (b) Friday of a long weekend, Lee also talked to some tax pros about what tax law changes they want to see.

Thanks, Lee, for the nice summary and allowing me an early start to the Labor Day weekend.

Enjoy the article and your long weekend!

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.)
