Tax service in liquor store sure makes toasting the end of tax season easy

February 16, 2011

Just when you think you've seen everything, something like this listing for an out of the ordinary tax filing service shows up:

Steves discount liquors and tax services highlighted2

Yep, Steve certainly has the bases covered. If taxes are driving you to drink, then head on over to his Wilmington, Del., liquor store to quench your literal and tax thirsts.

Once you fulfill your annual IRS filing duties, reward yourself by picking up a six pack or, depending on just what the final tax bill damage was, something a little stronger.

Mary O'Keeffe, on whose blog Bed Buffaloes in Your Tax Code I ran across this cross-discipline marketing gem, tells us that Steve's package store apparently is real, as is the on-premises tax preparation option.

The IRS authorized e-file provider search engine shows a tax service at the same address as the beverage business.

Obviously Steve and the tax preparer know their customers.

Is anyone else thinking franchise opportunity here?

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.)
