Congrats to Texas Techsan
Will Bigham

August 23, 2007

Back in June, I learned that fellow Texas Tech grad Will Bigham was a contestant on the Fox show On the Lot (and blogged about it here). On Tuesday night, Will won.

In addition to getting to getting a wider audience for his short films (available for online viewing), Will got a $1 million development deal with DreamWorks Pictures.

Sure, that probably wouldn’t even cover craft services on a Hollywood megafilm.

But that cool million will definitely put Will, who before his big break was a film editor, into a whole new tax bracket. The top tax bracket.

I sure hope one of the first things he springs for is a good accountant/tax planner. Then he can get the cool convertible to tool around L.A.

UPDATE (Aug. 23, 7 p.m.): My issue of Texas Tech Today just showed up in my e-mail box (or, more accurately, I just found it in my e-mail box). It has a nice story on Will’s win.

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.)
