Here's our brief disclaimer because I have a dog to go walk.

We are not your financial or investment advisors.

This nerdy info is provided for general educational and entertainment purposes and may not apply to your specific circumstances.

And with all that said, until next time, turn to the nerds.

Have you filed your taxes yet?

Good work, Elizabeth.

Yes, I did.

It took me a good two and a half hours, but I'm glad it's behind me.

Yeah, I want the educational experience so we can talk from what we've done in our lives to our listeners.

So here we go.

You're such a nerd, Sean.

There you go.

Well, that's the other side of the journey.

Yeah.

Well, this episode, we're all about tax season 2026.

Welcome to NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast, where you send us your money questions and we answer them with the help of our genius nerds.

I'm Sean Piles.

And in case you've never filed before or have lived in a cave for a few years, your deadline to file and pay your taxes is April 15th.

So to help us sort through all of this, we're joined by Tom O'Saban, Director of Tax Content for the National Association of Tax Professionals.

Tom, welcome to Smart Money.
