2016 Tax Olympics: The Opening Ceremony

I started running competitively from eight years old to nineteen years old. Now, that I'm 36 years old, I can barely run to get the remote control in the living room. I always had dreams of running in the Olympics but I was lazy as hell. Since, I'm currently going through my mid-life crisis, I decided to create my own damn Olympics. For the next two weeks, I will create a 2016 Tax Olympics blog series. I will grant medals to strategies to handle various tax situations. I will write about the three best ways in my opinion to handle each situation. Here is the line-up (set your DVR):

Day 1: Opening Ceremony

Day 2: Keeping Required Tax Records

Day 3: Failure to File and Failure to Pay Penalties

Day 4: Missing Out on Tax Savings

Day 5: ID Thief

Day 6: Dealing With Tax Uncertainty

Day 7: Obamacare Tax Penalties and Credits

Day 8: Surviving an Tax Audit

Day 9: Same-Sex State Tax Filing

Day 10: Proving Education Tax Break Eligibility

Day 11: Networking as an Young Tax Accountant

Day 12: Finding Good Accountants (Besides Myself)

Day 13: Ways to Contact the IRS

Day 14: Embracing Tax Software
