Taxes
Federal tax calendar
IRS-source-reviewed filing dates, estimated tax dates, and filing preparation checklists.
Student aid
FAFSA deadlines
Federal Student Aid source-reviewed FAFSA deadlines, preparation paths, and official verification links.
Closures
Federal holidays
OPM, USPS, and Federal Reserve source-reviewed holiday and service-closure calendars.
How this site is organized
Topic hubs group official-source pages by task
Puni’s US Deadline Calendar is organized around recurring public-information tasks: checking a date, understanding which official source supports that date, and knowing what the page does not decide. The topic pages are not broad news sections. They are entry points into source-reviewed clusters that can be maintained as agencies update their calendars.
Use a topic hub when you know the area, such as taxes, federal holidays, or student aid, but you are not sure which guide or calendar page answers the immediate question. The hub should point you toward the narrowest page that matches the task.
Live topic areas
Taxes
Federal tax deadline pages use IRS sources to explain filing dates, estimated tax schedules, and preparation checklists. They do not determine a personal filing requirement, payment amount, penalty, credit, deduction, or state deadline.
Federal holidays
Holiday and service-closure pages use OPM, USPS, and Federal Reserve sources. They separate federal employee calendars, USPS holiday dates, Federal Reserve schedules, and private-bank/local-office boundaries.
Student aid
FAFSA pages use Federal Student Aid sources for federal receipt dates, award-year timing, school/state deadline boundaries, account readiness, contributor readiness, and correction paths. They do not estimate aid or decide eligibility.
Before acting on a page
- Check the page’s source box. Date-sensitive pages name the source, jurisdiction, cycle, and last verification date.
- Prefer the narrow page. A guide page usually gives better context than a broad hub when you are close to a deadline.
- Use official local checks when needed. State, school, bank, post office, and agency-location details can require separate verification.
- Report changed sources. If an official page changes, use the Corrections Policy so the affected page can be reviewed again.
Editorial use
What the topic index should and should not answer
The topic index is a routing page, so it should not bury a reader in every date on the site. Its job is to explain the available source-reviewed clusters and send the reader to the page that answers the actual task. That keeps tax, student aid, and holiday information from blending into one generic deadline list.
For date-sensitive work, the next click matters. A tax reader should move into an IRS-backed tax page, a FAFSA reader should move into a Federal Student Aid page, and a holiday service reader should move into an OPM, USPS, or Federal Reserve source path. The topic page gives orientation; the narrow page gives the source box, jurisdiction, cycle, and boundary language.
How updates are handled
When an official source changes, the affected cluster should be reviewed rather than silently edited in isolation. A changed IRS date can affect a tax guide and tax calendar. A changed Federal Student Aid notice can affect a FAFSA guide, calendar, and checklist. A service holiday update can affect the federal holiday calendar and a related USPS, bank, or federal-office guide. This structure makes corrections easier to find and easier to explain.
