The Time Has Come

Government shutdown or not, if you got an extension on your 2024 tax return, the deadline for filing remains October 15. Now granted, no one can currently guarantee when that return will be processed but the government is still going to expect it.

I don’t want to really harp upon this too much. If at this point you have procrastinated to where you are feeling a time crunch, there isn’t much more that can be done other than offer a shrug. We can, however, let this moment on the calendar serve as a reminder to do better in general.

Whether you filed for an extension or not, there probably was something that occurred during tax filing that you wished had been done better. Possibly you even promised that you would improve things for next season.

But have you yet?

If so, good job, relax and enjoy the upcoming holiday season. If not, let this time serve as a little extra impulse to get on top of it so that you will be ahead of things next time. Too often, we think about making these changes but the further we move into the year, the more worrying about taxes fades into the background.

It’s almost as if we start to forget that no matter what, come next April 15, the IRS will be expecting us yet again.

Warmly,
