Tax Tips<br />

by S. Kathryn Kucera, CPA<br />

NEED MORE TIME?<br />

<strong>April</strong> 15 (this year, the 18 th ) isn’t far off. Do you need more<br />

time to gather your tax information? Then ask for it! An<br />

individual may request a six-month extension of time to<br />

file Form 1040, to October 15 using Form 4868. No reason<br />

is necessary. The request must be postmarked or e-filed by<br />

the due date; no late extension requests will be considered.<br />

Your next question is “will it cause me to be audited?”<br />

and the answer is NO! In fact, many tax professionals<br />

believe the opposite, that it might reduce audit chances.<br />

Note, the filing extension is not an extension of time to<br />

pay any balance due. If necessary, and if possible, a<br />

payment should accompany the extension request to<br />

avoid interest and possible late payment penalty.<br />

Trust me on this: There are not enough accountants on<br />

the planet to prepare all returns by their original due<br />

dates. In the big picture, extensions are a necessity, or the<br />

system would fall apart. Only by spreading the work over<br />

a longer period of time can the profession as a whole even<br />

hope to produce quality work for so many taxpayers.<br />

Form 4868 is available in your tax software,<br />

online at www.irs.gov.<br />

Filing by <strong>April</strong> 15 is a lovely thing, but<br />

there are no awards handed out for doing<br />

so. So, extend that return!<br />

DID YOU OVERLOOK<br />

SOMETHING?<br />

When I look over prior year returns for<br />

new clients, I often see that a deduction<br />

was missed or that there was another<br />

error of some kind. In most cases, this can<br />

be fixed by filing an amended tax return,<br />

Form 1040X.<br />

The general rule is that you have three<br />

years to amend a return. If you filed your<br />

2013 return by <strong>April</strong> 15, 2014, you have<br />

until <strong>April</strong> 15, <strong>2017</strong> to amend it.<br />

Form 1040X must be paper-filed; it is<br />

not yet possible to electronically file<br />

them. For smooth processing, various<br />

attachments must be included. They<br />

usually are not a do-it-yourself project;<br />

professional assistance is recommended!


Spring Cleaning<br />

We simply love the warmth and coziness of wintertime, but there is something else<br />

that we anticipate at the end of winter even more: the start of spring. Our hearts fill<br />

with joy and positivity thanks to its rebirth, renewal and re-energizing sentiment. It<br />

prompts us to make a fresh start within ourselves and in our homes. And we are not<br />

alone–people all over the world have practiced this same ritual for many centuries.<br />

SPRING CLEANING RITUALS AROUND THE WORLD<br />

Spring cleaning is a time-honored ritual for a reason. In China people clean their<br />

houses, clothes and spirits in anticipation of Chinese New Year or Spring Festival.<br />

They do this to get rid of bad luck and misfortune that may have accumulated during<br />

the previous year. Once the house is tidied, it is forbidden to touch the floors with a<br />

broom, otherwise you risk sweeping out all the good luck that entered the house at<br />

the turn of the year.<br />

People in Iran have a similar ritual on the 21st of March each year. They call it Khaneh<br />

Takani, which means “shaking the house.” And that is exactly what Iranian people do.<br />

Everything gets a thorough cleaning: from beds and rugs to curtains and clothes and<br />

everything in between. Fresh scented flowers are brought into the house to renew the<br />

positive energy so both the new year and spring can arrive.<br />

In Thailand, people celebrate new spring beginnings with the festival of Songkran,<br />

where they clean their houses and take extra care to thoroughly cleanse all images<br />

and statues of Buddha in their possession. This tradition is then done in public during<br />

a parade, as people pour water mixed with perfume and fragrant herbs on one another<br />

to symbolize blessings and good luck in the new year.<br />

SPRING CLEANING AND YOU<br />

Why do we feel the need to clean our environments with the coming of spring? Part<br />

of it is the urge to finally open all windows and clear the winter mustiness that has<br />

settled there. On a psychological level, we are also sweeping out the dark winter mood<br />

in order to welcome the positivity of spring energy, just like ancient civilizations did.<br />

In this way, a clean house brings us peace of mind and clarity. But how do we start this<br />

immense spring cleaning ritual? The answer is quite simple: make a list and divide it<br />

up into smaller tasks, so you can feel the satisfaction of ticking off each item. What<br />

follows is an example of a spring cleaning outline:<br />

1. CLEAN WINDOWS<br />

Start with one of the most visible issues—when the spring sun starts shining through<br />

your windows, you can see every bit of dirt on them. Combine water, distilled vinegar<br />

and liquid dish soap in a spray bottle and spray it against the glass. Use a fibre cloth to<br />

wipe it on, and a squeegee to remove excess liquid.<br />

2. DECLUTTER<br />

Before you do a deep clean, declutter it first. This means<br />

throwing away anything you haven’t used in the past twelve<br />

months. Avoid throwing odds and ends into a drawer,<br />

because they will eventually find their way out and create a<br />

mess.<br />

3. CLEAN ROOMS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM<br />

Spring cleaning is about the things that you overlook during<br />

your day-to-day cleaning routines. Vacuum the ceiling, clean<br />

the lamps, and use a damp cloth to clean walls and doors.<br />

Don’t forget light switches and door handles—these are<br />

typically covered with grime.<br />

4. RENEW YOUR BEDROOM<br />

Organize your closets and prepare for a wardrobe transition.<br />

Remove all clothing you haven’t been wearing in the last<br />

twelve months and put them in bags for good will. Take your<br />

curtains and your winter coats to the dry cleaner. Combat any<br />

stale winter odors with scented candles or fragrance sticks.<br />

5. A FRESH LOOK IN THE BATHROOM<br />

Toilets, sinks and tubs get cleaned regularly, but spring<br />

cleaning involves a different approach. Discard outdated or<br />

unused products. Replace old towels with new, luxurious<br />

ones. Reorganize your shelves for maximum efficiency.<br />

6. DEEP CLEAN YOUR KITCHEN<br />

Search your cupboards and pantry and discard any outdated<br />

products. Replace dish and tea towels as well as the mops<br />

you’ve been using the entire year. Clean the fridge and defrost<br />

the freezer. Make sure you check all the food and throw out<br />

anything that has been lying around for too long.<br />

7. DON’T FORGET THE OUTSIDE<br />

Clean your patio furniture and wash pillow covers. Use a<br />

vinegar spray to dissolve green build up on teak and wooden<br />

furniture. Throw out any pots or other garden accessories<br />

that haven’t survived the winter in tact.<br />

By creating a spring cleaning ritual out of these seven steps,<br />

you’ll notice that it isn’t nearly as daunting as it sounds. And<br />

when it’s all said and done, you will be ready to welcome the<br />

coming year with a clear mind and an uplifted spirit.<br />

<strong>Cinco</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> Lost and Found Pet<br />

Network is a resource with many<br />

documents available located within our group files to help those who have<br />

both lost and found pets, as well as lists of related, pet service providers.<br />

For instance, did you know animal control in Fort Bend County is all<br />

the way down in Rosenberg, but if you live in the Harris County portion<br />

of <strong>Cinco</strong> and your dog is picked up, it is taken all the way up by I-45 and<br />

Canino Road - near Little York Road? (The worst scenario is if a dog that<br />

lives in one county ends up being picked up in the other county.) Also, if<br />

your pet is brought to one of these locations, you likely will only have three<br />

days to find it before it is released for adoption OR euthanized. If you wait<br />

to see if your animal returns home on its own, it might be too late! Please<br />

use this new group as needed and share our page with Facebook friends!<br />

We are looking for volunteers to help administer this group and<br />

also people that would be willing to foster animals found in <strong>Cinco</strong><br />

until their owners are found, rather than the animals being brought<br />

to a shelter. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact<br />

cincoranchlostpets@yahoo.com.<br />

first year, we have been able to gift grants to 2 local organizations and we<br />

Since its inception in 2006, the KEYS Scholarship Fund has awarded over<br />

$300,000 to graduating KEYS seniors. KEYS - Keep Encouraging Youth<br />

toward Success - is a relationship initiative that matches a caring adult<br />

with a student on the brink of success for up to one hour a week, during<br />

the school day, during the school year. Piloted during the 1995-1996<br />

school year, this program now extends to every campus in Katy ISD. KEYS<br />

is not a tutoring program, but rather a relationship program, with many<br />

mentors and their students sustaining their friendship year after year.<br />

<strong>April</strong> Gardening Tips<br />

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many<br />

pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy ‘loose’<br />

mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches,<br />

termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged material and save lots of future<br />

pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes<br />

exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your home<br />

and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” - 18”<br />

back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 18” - 24”<br />

wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to<br />

the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most<br />

conducive to termite infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high<br />

against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates<br />

overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest<br />

onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests<br />

from the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring over the winter and<br />

puts your valuable asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown<br />

patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in<br />

some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b)<br />

fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering:<br />

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not water.)<br />

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and<br />

more drought resistant roots.<br />

• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />

HOUSTON CHILDREN’S CHARITY<br />

Join a group of people dedicated to improving the lives of children. If you are searching<br />

for a good cause to lend a hand to, you need look no further. Houston Children’s Charity<br />

is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for<br />

underprivileged, abused and disabled children who have been otherwise left behind.<br />

The scope of our support is limited only by the availability of resources. Our goal, the<br />

rainbow that we chase, is to leave no legitimate request for assistance unanswered.<br />

Do you have the time and desire to volunteer to help a great cause? We are always in<br />

need of volunteers to help throughout the year. This is a great way for school age kids<br />

to get in community service hours. Do you have gently used children’s clothing, shoes<br />

and jackets? At Houston Children’s Charity we are setting up the “HCC Closet.” All of the<br />

items donated will be given to children - not sold at a retail store. Please contact our<br />

office at 713-524-2878 or visit our website www.houstonchildrenscharity.org for more<br />

information on our organization.<br />

STANDUP FOR KIDS<br />

How would you feel if you saved a kid’s life? StandUp For Kids is an all volunteer<br />

organization dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk and homeless kids through<br />

volunteer outreach efforts. Our volunteers search the streets in order to find, stabilize<br />

and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives. Every day throughout<br />

the US thirteen kids die on the streets from abuse, disease and suicide. According to<br />

recent statistics Houston has up to 2,500 kids living on the streets at any given time.<br />

Texas has the highest rate of homeless youth in the U.S.<br />

StandUp For Kids needs supplies for our Houston program, which provides food,<br />

clothing, counseling and a safe environment for the homeless youth of Houston. If<br />

you or your organization would like to hold a food or clothing drive for StandUp For<br />

Kids, please contact me at HeatherE@standupforkids.org to learn more about StandUp<br />

For Kids or how you can help, visit our website at www.standupforkids.org. The single<br />

greatest need, for homeless and street kids is our continuous caring and real support.<br />

We must convince them that we care, we want them back and we want to help them get<br />

off the streets.<br />

requests, just don’t want to be forgotten.” -LCPL O.J.T. III<br />

When registering for Adopt A US Soldier your involvement can range from writing letters<br />

and sending postcards, to mailing care packages full of items a soldier may need or want.<br />

sacrifices for our country. If interested, please go to www.adoptaussoldier.org to register.<br />

SIRE, HOUSTON’S THERAPEUTIC EQUESTRIAN CENTERS<br />

Nothing else can compare with therapy on horseback. Equine-assisted activities improve physical<br />

balance and coordination, mental acuity, emotional stability and social interactions. At SIRE,<br />

we see miracles on horseback happen every day. The work of our dedicated volunteers helps<br />

guarantee that children and adults with disabilities in the Greater Houston Area will have the<br />

programs they need to live longer, healthier, more productive lives.<br />

In addition to their weekly work in the arena, many of our volunteers donate their time and talents<br />

at fund-raising events such as our annual Ride-A-Thon and the yearly Trailblazers Luncheon.<br />

Volunteers are on hand during the NARHA on-site certification and annual SIRE Show-Off and<br />

volunteers are vital to our Clients’ successes at the Top Hands Horse Show, during the Houston<br />

Rodeo and competition at the regional and state Special Olympics. Therapeutic horseback riding<br />

creates a bond of success between the rider and their horse. Volunteers are their own personal<br />

cheering section and the instructor is their mentor and coach. Clients become more empowered<br />

FOSTER CHILDREN:<br />

PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)<br />

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent.<br />

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities<br />

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month.<br />

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help<br />

prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The yearlong<br />

course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National<br />

Council for Jewish Women (NCJW).<br />

The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer<br />

kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or other<br />

NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community service?<br />
