TAX TIPS<br />

ORGANIZE YOUR TAX RECORDS<br />

The key to a smooth tax season is<br />

to keep your tax records organized.<br />

Use our Tax Prep Checklist to<br />

help gather all of the documents<br />

needed for your return. Collect<br />

any tax documents you receive in<br />

the mail and store them in a safe<br />

place with your prior year return<br />

so everything will be easy to find<br />

when you’re ready to file.<br />

MAX OUT YOUR RETIREMENT<br />

ACCOUNTS<br />

You have until <strong>April</strong> 18, <strong>2017</strong><br />

to contribute up to $5,500<br />

($6,500 if you’re 50 or older)<br />

to a traditional or Roth IRA<br />

for 2016. As long as you aren’t<br />

covered by a retirement plan at<br />

work, the full amount of your<br />

traditional IRA contributions can<br />

be deducted on your tax return.<br />

If you are covered by a plan<br />

at work, your deduction may<br />

be limited depending on your<br />

income. Roth IRA contributions<br />

won’t lower your tax bill but<br />

the withdrawals will be tax-free<br />

when you retire.<br />

ITEMIZE YOUR DEDUCTIONS<br />

For 2016, the standard deduction<br />

is $6,300 for singles and $12,600<br />

for married couples filing a joint<br />

return. Although it may be easier<br />

to take the standard deduction,<br />

you may actually save more<br />

money by itemizing instead. Not<br />

only does ezTaxReturn make it<br />

easy to claim your expenses, we’ll<br />

even compare your standard and<br />

itemized deductions so you can<br />

get the biggest possible refund.<br />

PROVIDE THE CORRECT<br />

DEPENDENT INFORMATION<br />

Make sure you provide the<br />

correct social security numbers<br />

and date of birth for each<br />

dependent listed on your tax<br />

return. If you don’t, your return<br />

will be rejected and you’ll miss<br />

out on money saving credits<br />

like the Child Tax Credit which is<br />

worth up to $1,000 per qualifying<br />

child. Remember, if you’re<br />

divorced, only one parent can<br />

claim the child as a dependent.<br />

If you and your ex-spouse both<br />

try to claim the same child on<br />

your return, one of the returns<br />

will be rejected by the IRS.<br />

FILE AND PAY ON TIME<br />

If you need extra time to prepare<br />

your taxes, you must request an<br />

extension by <strong>April</strong> 18th. This will<br />

give you until October 16th to<br />

file your return without facing<br />

a failure-to-file penalty. If you<br />

don’t file an extension and you<br />

owe the IRS, you will have to pay<br />

a failure-to-file penalty as well<br />

as a failure-to-pay penalty. The<br />

penalty for filing late is usually 5<br />

percent of the unpaid taxes per<br />

month, while the late payment<br />

penalty is usually 0.5 percent of<br />

the unpaid taxes per month.<br />

E-FILE<br />

You can get your refund 3-6 weeks<br />

faster by filing electronically<br />

instead of by paper. The odds of<br />

making a costly mistake are also<br />

minimized because good tax<br />

software like ezTaxReturn will<br />

guide you through the process<br />

step-by-step, completing all of<br />

the forms and calculations for<br />

you. Start your return now at<br />

ezTaxReturn.com.


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>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!!

money to fund a scholarship for high school graduates in<br />

tremendously through the efforts of the Board of Trustees<br />

and the generosity of the Cy-Fair Community. The Foundation<br />
