Democrats who support Bush tax cuts

September 20, 2010

While most of y'all were out enjoying your weekend, I blogged about some recent economic data and how that might affect Congress' ultimate decision on what to do about the expiring 2001 and 2003 tax cuts.

Some of you might have missed that item because, as I said, you were spending your time off doing other things. Good for you; to each his or her own concept of fun.

But now that it's Monday, I thought that as tax geeks, political wonks or both (I proudly wear both labels!), you'd want to keep track of the impending vote on Dubya's tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of this year.

As part of my Saturday post on some tax cut calculations, I noted that the Bush-era tax brackets and associated individual tax breaks are gaining fans from the previously loyal opposition.

The Hill newspaper is monitoring the political and tax winds and reveals the Democrats who have publicly announced they are in favor of extending all the current tax cuts.

The Capitol Hill publication promises to add to the list as voting decisions are made public.

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.)
