Accounting blogs for the kids

November 19, 2010

I'm what's diplomatically described as being "of a certain age," so I feel free to use the term "kids" as I please. In this headline's instance, I'm not talking toddlers, but college kids.

That's an audience, specifically students studying accounting, that apparently might find the ol' blog entertaining and informative, according to Jared Eutsler, a CPA (and a lot of other financial accreditations noted by his many suffixes!) and full-time faculty member of the School of Business at Rasmussen College.

Don't Mess With Taxes is included in Eutsler's blog post 20 Blogs Accounting Students Will Love.

"We've hand-picked 20 authoritative and engaging accounting blogs for your reading – and learning – pleasure," writes Eutsler.

I'm thrilled and honored to be part of a list that contains many fine blogs with which I'm familiar — TaxProf Blog, MauledAgain, The Fraud Files, TaxMama's Tax Quips, Taxable Talk, Our Taxing Times, Golden Practices Blog, Tax Rascal and Tick Marks –- as well as many that I plan to get to know.

Check out the post and all the accounting and tax blogs listed there.

And I beg your indulgence as I repeat below the very kind words Eutsler had about Don't Mess With Taxes:

Don't Mess With Taxes – Kay Bell, a journalist and corporate communicator with a passion for taxes founded this blog to make "taxes less taxing." Bell provides practical daily, weekly and monthly tax tips full of valuable information for both taxpayers and accounting professionals alike.

Thanks, Mr. Eutsler, for your assessment and especially for reading my right and left nav bar information!

TAX-SAVVY WAYS 
TO WRAP UP 2026

It’s over! With October’s extended filing deadline behind us, it is now time to focus on year-end moves to reduce your 2026 tax bill. 

You’ll find ways to do just that on the Tax Tips page (see the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of the blog), as well as the separate tax tip pages for each month, notably October through December. If you’re on the Tax Tips page, you’ll find a monthly list at the end of this column. If you’re on another blog page, you can head straight to the October tips; at the bottom of that tips page you’ll find links to all the other 11 months’ collections of tax advice.

Not to spoil what you’ll find in that tax advice, but it does cover such things as tax deductions for charitable donations, investment moves that could reduce tax due, and ways to max out your tax-favored retirement savings. 

Finally, as the year winds down, things get hectic. There are lots of other things to occupy our time, like the much more fun upcoming holidays. But don’t lose sight of taxes, since timing is key. To be of use, most tax moves must be made by the end of the tax year. That’s Thursday, Dec. 31, which also is the last business day of the year. 

So that you don’t miss that final tax year deadline, also keep an eye on the countdown clock below. It will keep you on top of just how much time is left to make important, tax-saving moves. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)

    For me, when studying accounting students learn importance of financial transparency. I guess that’s why it is very important to realize it’s importance during the course.
