Saturday (or Sunday) Shout Outs for 2025

January 26, 2025

It’s not as entertaining as The Beatles’ impromptu rooftop concert*, but the ol’ blog’s weekly feature shouting out tax topics from the internet rooftops is back for 2025.

As you can see from the folks hollering in the above gif, I’m still using the same image. Something about not fixing things that aren’t broken. So, if you’re a regular reader (thanks!), you know the drill.

As I’ve been doing for the last seven+ years — another cliché 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.

Not only is this a good way to share some of the fine tax material out there, but it’s also a nod to my personal appreciation of personal time. In November, the blog will turn 20. And since I’ve posted almost every single day of those now nearly two decades, the weekend Shout Outs provide me a break while still sharing 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 2024. Now it’s time to get to 2025’s tax sharing and shouting. I’ll put the newest shouts at the top of the below list.

2026 transition: Since I last shouted, the ol’ blog moved to a new platform. That happened Sept. 30 and the transition messed up my regular features as that date of going from the now defunct TypePad to Bluehost neared.

That explains the big gap starting in early September.

I’m still working on getting things more on track. That’s why I’m putting some 2026 shout outs here at hte top of this 2025 list. Thanks for your understanding of the temporary merge.

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, 2023, and 2024 pages.

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

*And oh yeah, about that asterisk at the top of this post. If you haven’t watched Peter Jackson’s documentary Get Back or the remastered documentary movie Let It Be that inspired it, do. Now. Both are well worth the time.

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.)
