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

January 31, 2019

Hand pointing fingerWhew! We made it through January.

For a while, it looked like the 2019 filing season might be delayed due to the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history.

But a deal to fund the affected agencies was reached and the Internal Revenue Service started accepting and processing 2018 tax returns on Jan. 28.

If you weren't among the early filers, you've still got plenty of time to do the job between now and April 15 (or 17).

The Filing Season Tax Tips can help. You'll should be able to quickly spot them thanks to the old-school yellow No. 2 pencil tip image that will remain where it has been for years.

If you missed any of the highlighted tips that appeared there in January, you can check them out on their own special January 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, they'll also be collected (eventually) on February, March and April tax tips pages.

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.

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.)
