Tax advice is everywhere, even if it is April Fool’s Day.

As the deadline to file federal and state income taxes looms, here are a collection of some of the best articles I have seen online, organized by topic.

While none of these are substitues for tax advice from your accountant, preparer or attorney, they may give you a few ideas to jog their memories and uncover a few hidden dollars for yourself.  If you have others to add to the list, please leave a comment with the URL!
