State tax tour is complete

April 15, 2010

I just did a double take when I realized that there's no state to blog about today. I wrapped up the Don't forget your state taxes! (yes, the headline had the exclamation point; I was, and still am, really excited by it!) project yesterday with Wyoming.

But having written a blurb about a state for 51 straight days — the series began Feb. 23 with Alabama! — and this being Tax Day and all, it didn't seem right to not to mention state taxes in some way. So here it is.

You can find the link to your state's official tax office Web site at, where else, State Tax Departments.

You can read about an interesting tax statute in your state at Complete menu of tasty tax tidbits.

And you can wander through all the postings that have, over the years, mentioned state and/or local taxes in this collection items. You can bet that as states continue to look for creative revenue raising options, this section of the blog will grow.

Plus, I wanted one more chance to use this humorous map of how Texans view the rest of the country!

TAX-SAVVY WAYS 
TO WRAP UP 2026

It’s over! With October’s extended filing deadline behind us, it is now time to focus on year-end moves to reduce your 2026 tax bill. 

You’ll find ways to do just that on the Tax Tips page (see the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of the blog), as well as the separate tax tip pages for each month, notably October through December. If you’re on the Tax Tips page, you’ll find a monthly list at the end of this column. If you’re on another blog page, you can head straight to the October tips; at the bottom of that tips page you’ll find links to all the other 11 months’ collections of tax advice.

Not to spoil what you’ll find in that tax advice, but it does cover such things as tax deductions for charitable donations, investment moves that could reduce tax due, and ways to max out your tax-favored retirement savings. 

Finally, as the year winds down, things get hectic. There are lots of other things to occupy our time, like the much more fun upcoming holidays. But don’t lose sight of taxes, since timing is key. To be of use, most tax moves must be made by the end of the tax year. That’s Thursday, Dec. 31, which also is the last business day of the year. 

So that you don’t miss that final tax year deadline, also keep an eye on the countdown clock below. It will keep you on top of just how much time is left to make important, tax-saving moves. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
