As 2021 comes to a close, Procedurally Taxing has been around for over eight years. When we kicked it off in 2013 with Welcome to Procedurally Taxing, we did not know precisely how the blog would evolve. With over 3,400 subscribers and closing in on two million views, the blog has exceeded our expectations. Stay tuned, as we will be announcing some changes and new features in the new year.

Not surprisingly issues relating to economic impact payments and the receipt of refunds when there is a hardship topped the list. Those posts reflect the needs of not only practitioners but also taxpayers who at times are desperate for information concerning access to needed refunds. To that end, the top post of the year was Keith’s post, Requesting an Offset Bypass Refund and Tracing Offsets to Non-IRS Sources. That post is our all time reigning champ, having generated over 93,000 views since its 2015 posting.
Also on the list was my favorite post of the year, Biden Administration Floats Refundable Pet Tax Credit Idea to Boost Child Tax Credit. With the Build Back Better legislation currently stalled, we will have to wait until 2022 to see if Congress will enact that piece of legislation.
Here is the complete top ten list, including posts that were published in prior years:
- Requesting an Offset Bypass Refund and Tracing Offsets to Non-IRS Sources (Keith Fogg)

About Leslie Book
Comment Policy: While we all have years of experience as practitioners and attorneys, and while Keith and Les have taught for many years, we think our work is better when we generate input from others. That is one of the reasons we solicit guest posts (and also because of the time it takes to write what we think are high quality posts). Involvement from others makes our site better. That is why we have kept our site open to comments.
If you want to make a public comment, you must identify yourself (using your first and last name) and register by including your email. If you do not, we will remove your comment. In a comment, if you disagree with or intend to criticize someone (such as the poster, another commenter, a party or counsel in a case), you must do so in a respectful manner. We reserve the right to delete comments. If your comment is obnoxious, mean-spirited or violates our sense of decency we will remove the comment. While you have the right to say what you want, you do not have the right to say what you want on our blog.
