Tax moves to make in June 2011

June 1, 2011

Summer is here, but there's no vacation from taxes.

Sure, you don't have to worry about 1040 specifics, unless you got an extension and still haven't filed your 2010 return (guilty!). Remember, we tax procrastinators still can rely on the Daily Tax Tips that I published through April 18 to help fill out our forms by Oct. 17.

You can find some tax-saving strategies here on the ol' blog. I don't mean just my daily posts, but in the June Tax Moves listed in the left column.

Just scroll down a bit and you'll find such tax suggestions (and links for more information) on hurricane season preparedness, home energy upgrades and an estimated tax filing reminder.

There are even a couple of family-related tax moves, like the one for couples who have June weddings on their calendars, as well as some tax thoughts for folks who will celebrate Father's Day with an aging dad.

As the month goes on, I'll elaborate on some of these tax considerations. But you can get a preview today in the full list of June Tax Moves and then come back periodically to check it out at your leisure through the 30th.

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.)
