Tax moves to make in December 2010

December 1, 2010

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The time when you can make some last-minute tax moves to reduce your upcoming tax bill.

December_tax_moves_160 I know, I know. You've got a lot to take care of right now.

Family's probably coming to town, or you're going there for the holidays. Either way, you've got to wrap up work so you can enjoy your time together.

Then there's gift shopping. Even if you purchased most of your presents on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday or ordered them on Cyber Monday, there always seems to be a few things you have to pick up before Dec. 25.

But you also need to make time for tax moves that could save you enough in taxes to cover all your holiday costs.

You'll find plenty of tax-cutting options in the December Tax Moves over there in the left column. Just scroll down a bit and look for the red lettering under the tax filing deadline countdown clock.

Maybe only a few of the tax moves will apply to your personal tax situation. And some will bite into your precious holiday time.

But spending a few, or more, minutes making these tax moves by Dec. 31 could make a substantial difference in your final 2010 tax bill.

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.)
