Shout Out Saturday (or Sunday)

I’ve been blogging for almost a dozen years now (my first post went live on Nov. 14, 2005). For most of these years, I’ve posted at least one new item every damn day.

Now I’m old older. And the hubby has cut back on his work and wants me to spend some of my time sharing his new free time. Who am I to argue? At least about this.

However, I do love blogging. And I don’t want to short-change you, my loyal readers.

So I’ve created Shout Out Saturday or, depending on the weekend day this new feature appears, Shout Out Sunday.

Regardless of which weekend day it runs, the concept is the same. Rather than composing a new post, some weekends I’ll give a shout out to another blogger’s post or financial journalist’s story that I know y’all will enjoy and find useful and link to that. 

Of course I’ll add a few of my own words. That’s what writers do. But most of the content will be found in the piece that’s getting the shout out.

And just in case you want to know who made my precious free time possible, I’m linking all my Shout Out Saturday (or Sunday) posts on this page.

That’s not because I’m a writer, but because I love making lists! So here goes, with the most recent Shout Out added each weekend to the top of the list. 

Enjoy these articles/posts and your weekends!

Want more? Sure you do. You can find the continuation of Shout Outs into 2018. (And, thanks to the magic of the internet, if you want to time travel further into the future, check the 2019, 2020 and 2021 tax shouts, too.)

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.)
