Announcements about Taxgirl — site changes, redesigns, downtime, newsletter updates, and anything else happening behind the scenes.
It’s Guest Post Week on Taxgirl! No, I don’t have the flash and panache of Vanna White during theme weeks on Wheel of Fortune. There won’t be any glitter or sequins (at least on my end) and no fantastic trips to Aruba to be won – though there might be some less spectacular giveaways. But…
As I have done for the past few years, I’ll be turning over the blog to my readers for the last week in August. But this year, I’m doing things a little differently. I received so many submissions last year that I have to put some brakes on the numbers of submissions I’ll be posting….

With just a few days to go before the IRS starts to accept e-filed returns, my inbox is chock full of Ask The Taxgirl® emails. Here are some things to remember: I get a lot of emails and I read every single one. I’m not ignoring you but you’re also not the only email I’ll…
Whew, it’s nearly mid-December already. How did this happen? The month has flown by so quickly that I haven’t had time to thank the editors of the ABA Journal for selecting taxgirl as one of the Blawg 100, the top 100 best law blogs by lawyers. The ABA said, about my blog: Kelly Phillips Erb…

The voting for the top blog begins now. You can vote for your favorite (*clears throat*) by following this link. You have to be registered…
