That’s right. Three-hundred-sixty-five days have passed and we’re dealing with another tax year.
Will 2015 be the year that at least some tax reform is finally accomplished? Will the tax extenders, which were passed (once again) very late in the prior tax year be part of that reform? Will the 114th Congress be more productive than its predecessor (it won’t take much)?
Who knows? But as soon as we do, you can find it here on the ol’ blog, as well as at Bankrate Taxes Blog.
As has been my practice for the past few years, I’ll recap what I discussed over at Bankrate here on Don’t Mess With Taxes.
My aim remains to get the highlights and links to my other tax blog posts up each weekend. But sometimes I might be late; other weeks even a bit early.
The point is, if you happen to miss the actual Bankrate posts or my recaps here, you can find synopses on this special blog page.
Since the calendar pushed my first full week of Bankrate blogging into the year’s second week, let’s not waste any more time. Here’s what you can find on my other tax blog.
