Stick it to the tax man

February 9, 2010

Folks tend to get creative at tax time. Usually, though, the innovation involves entries on Form 1040 and associated schedules.

But one crafty woman has come up with another way we can stick it to the tax man.

Tax man pincushion Erin, who's known as sewsewsuckurtoe on Etsy, has created the Tax Man pin cushion you see there to the right.

She says that the idea came to her "at tax time when I was busy sewing voodoo doll pin cushions and took a
break to write those wonderful checks that needed to be mailed in before April
15th."

Now while the inspiration for the tax man sewing accessory arrived while she was stitching up some black magic items, Erin is quick to note that any poking should be just for fun.

So please, don't go trying to put a spell on any IRS, or state of local, tax collection agents! Simply use this item to vent your tax-filing frustration.

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.)
