Don’t miss any Filing Season Tax Tips

January 1, 2020

Finger_pointing to rightIt’s that time of year again, tax season. Whether you’re working on your Form 1040 yourself or turning your annual tax-filing task over to a professional, you’ll want to check out all the Filing Season Tax Tips.

They are highlighted there at the top of the ol’ blog’s right column through the tax return filing deadline.

After their time in the spotlight, they then are archived on their own monthly tax tip pages. Normally, that would be the January through mid-April filing season.

In 2020, however, the coronavirus pandemic upended everything, including tax season. Tax Day was moved from April 15 to July 15. That means the Filing Season Tax Tips now cover January, February, March, April, May, June and — tah-dah! — July. Wow. That felt weird to type.

But things are weird in 2020, and not just here in Austin, Texas. In an effort to deal with this new bizarro world and keep some semblance of tax normalcy, you can always check out these monthly tax tip pages whenever the tax mood, or new 2020 Tax Day filing deadline, strikes.

And when the new extended filing season finally ends in mid-July, stick around. You can catch new tax tips on a weekly basis in this very same spot. These Weekly Tax Tips Tips, like these from 2019, will help if you got a filing extension (that’s still to Oct. 15) or are ready to do some planning for the next tax year.

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.)
