I’m back … but backed up

It was great to sleep in my own bed last night. So good, in fact, that I slept late. So I’m off to a slow start today.

While I was in Seattle (What a nice town! And it was fun to buy a Starbucks coffee from a franchise so close to the mothership.) earlier this week, I collected several items to blog about.

Unfortunately, I only had time to post a few things from the hotel. Plus, the hotel’s online connection was a bit balky, which further hampered my updating ability.

But I’ve saved the material and it will be showing up here soon.

First, though, I must catch up on paying gigs. If I don’t bring in some taxable income, I can’t pay for the blog software. So I appreciate your patience.

Auto Alert: In the meantime, I thought you might find an item from my blogging buddy William Perez at About: Tax Planning of interest. He alerts us to the fact that the hybrid vehicle tax credit is of no use to those unfortunate folks who end up paying the AMT.

Just thought it might be something you’d want to consider if you were thinking about getting a hybrid before you hit the road this upcoming Memorial Day holiday.

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.)
