Saturday (or Sunday) Shout Outs for 2024

January 7, 2024

It’s time to shout it from the rooftops. 2024 is here, and that means we’ve started a new tax season.

Tax seasons share a lot of similarities from year to year.

Most of the forms return, just tweaked a bit by the Internal Revenue Service to reflect any tax law changes and inflation adjustments.

The deadlines, except in extraordinary circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic, are pretty much the same from year to year.

And here on the ol’ blog, another tax tradition continues. The weekend shout out feature returns for yet another year..

As I’ve been doing for the last six years — something about time, flying, taxes, and fun* — I’m freeing up at least one of my weekend days by posting a Saturday (or Sunday) Shout Out to some other tax items from blogs, traditional or online media outlets, or any other source I happen to have run across the previous week.

The headline’s Saturday or Sunday option allows me to decide which day I choose to post the other tax info if that seems appropriate. But mostly, I do my shouting out on Saturdays. That’s why it’s listed first; that and the alphabet.

As alluded to earlier with the *, the reason for the shouting out is simple. As the years have gone by, I’ve increasingly come to appreciate a bit more time off from everything, including taxes and blogging. This quick posting provides me some of that free time, while also maintaining a way for both you and I to enjoy timely, helpful, interesting, and sometimes amusing tax articles and posts from other bloggers, writers, and the wider tax community (or elsewhere).

OK, I’ve already used up some of my free time, so let’s get down to business.

I’ve jump started this year’s shout collection page by reposting the final shout out of 2023. Now it’s time to get to 2024’s tax sharing and shouting. The first Shout Out of 2024 is indeed on Saturday of the first full weekend of this new year. Enjoy!

You can read more of the whys and wherefores of the Shout Out idea in the original post about the one-weekend-day posts. There you’ll also find all of 2017’s Shout Outs.

And if you interested in who got tax-related hollers in the rest of the last six years, you’ll find them on the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 pages. Yes, they also have the same megaphone image as this current collection. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Thanks and I’ll say it again, enjoy your weekends with a little bit of taxes on the side. I know I will!

TAX-SAVVY WAYS 
TO WRAP UP 2026

It’s over! With October’s extended filing deadline behind us, it is now time to focus on year-end moves to reduce your 2026 tax bill. 

You’ll find ways to do just that on the Tax Tips page (see the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of the blog), as well as the separate tax tip pages for each month, notably October through December. If you’re on the Tax Tips page, you’ll find a monthly list at the end of this column. If you’re on another blog page, you can head straight to the October tips; at the bottom of that tips page you’ll find links to all the other 11 months’ collections of tax advice.

Not to spoil what you’ll find in that tax advice, but it does cover such things as tax deductions for charitable donations, investment moves that could reduce tax due, and ways to max out your tax-favored retirement savings. 

Finally, as the year winds down, things get hectic. There are lots of other things to occupy our time, like the much more fun upcoming holidays. But don’t lose sight of taxes, since timing is key. To be of use, most tax moves must be made by the end of the tax year. That’s Thursday, Dec. 31, which also is the last business day of the year. 

So that you don’t miss that final tax year deadline, also keep an eye on the countdown clock below. It will keep you on top of just how much time is left to make important, tax-saving moves. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
