Tax Day 2012 Is April 17th

By Melinda Gustafson Gervasi
Traditionally April 15th is the deadline for filing federal tax forms.  However, this year it fell on a Sunday, and Monday the 16th was a holiday in the District of Columbia.  And that means official tax day for 2011 returns is Tuesday, April 17th, 2012.   Happy Tax Day Everyone!

Over the past year I have grown accustomed to flipping through the mail at home and seeing at least one mailing addressed to my mother, at our home address rather than the 1121 Valley Stream Drive of my childhood.  She, my mother, left this earthly world February 16th of 2014, but her junk mail lives on.  Most of the time I mark the enveloped "deceased", leaving it for the carrier to cart off the next day, hoping the life insurance company or peddler of products to keep seniors in their homes will update their mailing lifts.  Sharon no longer needs their services.

From Overwhelmed to Organized: A 2026 Monthly Action Plan for Your Estate Plan By Melinda Gustafson Gervasi January 2, 2026 There is an old African proverb that reminds us: 'The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.' For many of my clients, estate planning feels like that elephant—massive, immovable, and frankly, a bit overwhelming. But you don't have to protect your entire legacy in a single afternoon; you just need a steady appetite for progress. In this post, we’ve broken down the 'elephant' into twelve manageable monthly bites to help you complete your plan by the end of 2026. Image by M. Gustafson Gervasi, 2026 January: The Discovery Phase Start the year by gathering any existing estate documents and taking a "lay of the land."
