On my way home

February 3, 2010

I love the ocean. To a kid who grew up in the desert terrain of West Texas, that's what the Gulf of Mexico was, the ocean.

So I was thrilled when I was asked to come to Corpus Christi for a speaking gig. And I had a good time here the last couple of days, meeting South Texas CPAs and telling the local chapter of the Texas Society of CPAs about the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel.

But the weather totally sucked! Rainy, cold (for this part of the country; that disclaimer is for my Midwestern and Northeastern friends!) and windy.

So I'm heading home to Austin.

I've got a couple of blog posts in the works, but I want to get home. When I do, I'll get them posted, along with today's tax tip and the latest software giveaway winner.

Please check back later this afternoon when I'll be back home and back in full blogging mode!

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.)

Toni, thanks so much. It was great meeting you. I hope you’ll consider applying to TAP. We can always use the contributions of tax pros. And please let me or TAP know if you have any suggestions for improving the IRS. Kay
