Saturday (or Sunday) Shout Outs for 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 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.)
