Tax show adds more cast members

April 1, 2010

Well, Numb3rs fans, I hope you enjoyed Charlie and Amita’s wedding because it looks like David Krumholtz’s new tax-themed sitcom is moving forward.

When I blogged back in February about the television show set in an IRS district office, the Ron Howard project was untitled. Now it has a name: Tax Man.

I didn’t say it was a particularly interesting name, although I’m wondering if they’ll do some version of the Beatles’ similarly named tune as the theme song.

And now, in addition to a title, the program has a locale (Fresno, Calif.) and more cast members.

Comic genius Martin Short will be playing the head IRS honcho. I must say, will Short be a frenetic revenue collecting Ed Grimley? Or will he be more hardened a la his Damages‘ Leonard Winstone character?

Our entertainment and tax guru TaxProf also reports that former Wonder Years star Fred Savage will direct and MADtv alum Orlando Jones will be one of Krumholtz’s coworkers.

Again, a good cast, but a curious setting. I hope at least a few episodes get on the air to tide us tax geeks over somewhat during the fall’s relatively slow season.

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.)

I’m looking forward to it.
I wish someone would create a DVD of all the tax themed TV show episodes, that short lived series a few years ago & other related videos (for example, I think there is a 3 Stooges episode or Laurel & Hardy, I don’t remember). I would buy it.
