Below is a chart showing the number of opinions published by the Tax Court each day of the week, month, and year for the years 2020 to 2023. The chart includes all types of opinions published.

The Tax Court never publishes opinions on the weekends and typically does not publish opinions on Fridays. In 2023, only 7 opinions were published on Fridays.

It is also interesting to note that for the past 4 years, the Tax Court has not published more than 5 opinions on any single day.

During a 7-week period at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic (November 2020 to January 2021), the Tax Court only published one opinion.
