When the hubby and I lived in the Washington, D.C. area, we became big fans of the Washington Capitals. We eventually bought season tickets, and the National Hockey League’s team’s location back then in suburban Maryland, where we had moved, made getting to and from the games easy.
One of my favorite Capitals’ ad campaigns asked if we sometimes felt like screaming. They encouraged potential new (or ticket upgrading) fans to buy game packages and come yell their hearts out at the arena.
I don’t know about you, but way back then, and even more so these days, I definitely do feel like screaming.
And that’s carried over for many years to the ol’ tax blog in the weekend shout out feature. But the difference between NHL outbursts and tax shouting is that the ones about the tax code tend to be more civil. Note “tend to be.” I can’t make any promises!
Now, finally, The Saturday (or Sunday) Shout Out is back for 2026!
Still transitioning in 2026: Yes, I’m still smoothing out blog transition bugs from the original Typepad version to this new one. It hasn’t been as smooth or easy as I had hoped (or was promised by my new host 😠).
For example, I have no idea what happened in February. I’m pretty sure I was shouting during that part of the filing season. 😉
Plus, I’m an old tax blog dog, so learning new platform tricks has been, let’s says interesting. But I’m getting there. Slowly. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
As you can see from the folks hollering at the top of this post, I’m still using the same Giphy image that’s been on this feature since it debuted in 2017. Something about not fixing things that aren’t broken. So, if you’re a regular reader (thanks!), you know the drill.
And as I’ve been doing for the last 10+ years — another cliché about time, flying, taxes, and fun — I’m freeing up at least one of my weekend days by posting a Saturday (or Sunday) Shout Out. Here, I give a holler to some other tax blogs or news stories or videos or just about anything tax related that happened to catch my tax fancy the previous week.
The headline’s Saturday or Sunday option allows me to decide which day I choose to post the other tax info if that seems appropriate. But mostly, I do my shouting out on Saturdays. That’s why it’s listed first; that and the alphabet.
Not only is this a good way to share some of the fine tax material out there, but it’s also a nod to my personal appreciation of personal time.
As regular readers have already noticed, when I headed into my 21st year of tax blogging back on Nov. 14, 2025 (you can see my first post here), I decided to pull back a bit. I’m no longer posting every day. That gives me more time to spend with the hubby, whether he wants me to or not, as we both head into retirement mode.
OK, I’ve already used up some of my weekend free time, so let’s get down to business. Below are links to 2026’s tax sharing and shouting. The newest shouts are atop the list.

And if you interested in who got tax-related hollers in the rest of the last six years, you’ll find them on the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 pages.
Thanks, and I’ll say it again, enjoy your weekends with a little bit of taxes on the side. I know I will!
