Tax service in liquor store sure makes toasting the end of tax season easy

February 16, 2011

Just when you think you've seen everything, something like this listing for an out of the ordinary tax filing service shows up:

Steves discount liquors and tax services highlighted2

Yep, Steve certainly has the bases covered. If taxes are driving you to drink, then head on over to his Wilmington, Del., liquor store to quench your literal and tax thirsts.

Once you fulfill your annual IRS filing duties, reward yourself by picking up a six pack or, depending on just what the final tax bill damage was, something a little stronger.

Mary O'Keeffe, on whose blog Bed Buffaloes in Your Tax Code I ran across this cross-discipline marketing gem, tells us that Steve's package store apparently is real, as is the on-premises tax preparation option.

The IRS authorized e-file provider search engine shows a tax service at the same address as the beverage business.

Obviously Steve and the tax preparer know their customers.

Is anyone else thinking franchise opportunity here?

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
