Miss a February tax tip? Find them on their special page

February 28, 2019

Hand pointing fingerI know February is the shortest month, but we sure seemed to blast right through these 28 days.

That means folks who were waiting for their refunds based on Earned Income Tax Credit and/or additional child tax credit claims now or soon should have those U.S. Treasury checks.

As for the rest of us who've yet to tackle our 1040s, we're part of the reason that filing is a bit slow this year.

Many of us are waiting because we either know we'll owe or we're still trying to decipher the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) changes.

The good news here is that although in a few hours February will be gone, we still have more than six weeks — either April 15 (or 17) depending on where you live — to tackle our taxes.

To help you get that job done, check out the ol' blog's Filing Season Tax Tips. You'll can find them where the tax tips have been for years, over (as the pointing hand indicates) in the right column just above the old-school yellow No. 2 pencil tip image.

If you missed any of the highlighted pieces of tax advice that appeared there this month, you can check them out on their own special February tax tips page.

The tips will continue through the 2019 filing season, all the way through the April due date(s).

Again, if you miss any as they're posted on the home page, they'll also be collected on their own monthly pages. January and (the reason for this post) February tax tip collections are live. March and April tax tips pages will be populated as those months arrive.

That way, whether you're working on your taxes, turning your annual tax-filing task over to a professional or making moves for the 2019 tax year, you can check out all the 2019 Filing Season Tax Tips whenever the tax mood strikes.

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.)
