Tax moves to make in March 2011

March 1, 2011

Welcome to March. It's the month that brings us spring and gets us to the doorstep of our annual federal tax filing.

March_tax_moves_160 That's right, we're just about six weeks away from the April 18 IRS deadline. But the 31 days of March leave us plenty of time to make tax moves.

It's time to gather up all your documents so your filing will be as easy — and as accurate — as possible.

Take a look at your tax form to see what tax breaks are available to you this year. Did you make some energy improvements to your home in 2010? Maybe you donated cash or household goods to a local charity. You'll need that information to finish your 1040.

Those are just a couple of the 2010 tax issues you need to think about now, not on April 17. So take a few minutes to check out the full list of March Tax Moves over there in the ol' blog's left column.

Just scroll down a bit and look for the red lettering under the tax filing deadline countdown clock.

The list of tax moves also includes some ideas to consider that could save you money on your 2011 tax bill.

And the Daily Tax Tip offers even more tax saving and tax planning ideas. It's up there in the upper right corner of the page through April 18.

If you happen to miss a tip, no worries. You can find them collected on special blog pages, one for each month's tips. We're just getting started with March's tips, but you can check out all of January's and February tips.

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)

    Hi
    I recently settled my credit debt for 25 cents on the dollar and wrote a book on how others can do the same.
    I like to know if any of you have settled your tax debts for less than the amount owed and how you did it. I think that this information would be very valuable to visitors on my website, which is http://www.johnceesfreedom.com.
    Thanks!
