IRS Opens
The IRS opened Monday (1/24/2022), on the date they said they would (gasp!). They say the last day to file personal income tax returns without an extension is April 18th. That means no extended tax season this year (gasp!). So,…

Last Minute Filers
I got gas on Wednesday. That was fun (not!). It’s the 70’s all over again, and I’m kinda happy about disco music (I love the Bee Gees) and bell bottoms (I hate skinny jeans) coming back. But I digress. This…

The IRS has finally caved to Congressional pressure and extended the tax season until May 17. You may never hear me say this again, but it’s not the IRS’s fault! Congress waited until the end of December to pass Stimulus…
