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.)

Greg, congrats on your new business venture! While getting expert help, especially with taxes, is always a good idea, for a new company one of the major tax software programs that includes small business filings should be sufficient to get you started. Kay

When should I employ the use of a tax professional for my small business? It’s fledgling at the moment, but I hope to make at least a small profit this year. Is personal tax software still OK for this?
