LOCAL & AREA NEWS First Night Bradford Back On Track The First Night Bradford Committee is excited to announce that on Friday, January 16th, the final reinstatement paperwork was sent out for the 501(c)3 and should be returned within 90 days. This process could not have been completed without the assistance of Jim Smith and Sherry Deeter of Smith, Best, and Stoneking CPA. We appreciate the time and effort that went into this progression and look forward to reinstatement of our 501(c)3 tax exempt status.

Jim Tingley, newly appointed Chairman of the First Night Bradford Committee, has recently taken over and under his direction and approval of the committee, several modifications have been made to the structure of the organization. Functional Teams have been established to focus on the several different categories of the New Years’ Cultural and Arts Festival.

Team categories include Finance, Entertainment, Advertising and Public Relations, Technology, Venues and

Vendors, Public Works and City, and the Finale Team. These teams will function semi-autonomously, headed by a Team Leader, working alongside the main FNB committee to complete responsibilities necessary under the duties assigned to each individual team and within the assigned team budget.

Starting in February we will begin the process of contacting venues and securing locations to host the variety of acts. We want to emphasize that this is not just a FNB Committee event, but it is a “Community Event” and needs community wide participation. We look at the organizations that will serve as venues as partners in this endeavor and hope that those approached will be excited as we are to participate in this event.

After we receive notice that our 501c3 status has been reinstated, we plan to kick off our Annual Campaign.

We anticipate this to be in May or early June. This is a critical function for our

committee as we seek to secure funding from both our corporate and individual sponsors for our 2016 First Night. Because we are coming off a missed year, we want to make this year’s event bigger and better than ever and that means a fairly large budget. This will only be possible through the generous contributions of our corporate sponsors and the community at large.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has had a hand in making the past two decades of, First Night Bradford such an amazing experience.

We look forward to making the 2016 First Night Bradford a quality event for everyone.

As a volunteer driven organization, we are constantly looking for individuals to join our committee. If you or someone you know is interested in joining any of the teams, please do not hesitate to contact us, as we are always looking for driven volunteers to better our event.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH

by Grant Nichols

Photos for this edition were taken during the Brewfest held February 7th, at St. Bernard Elementary and Middle School gymnasium, and during a Sunday afternoon session at the Callahan Ice Rink, February 8th.

We took the JRS shuttle bus from the Pecora Plaza area on West Washington Street, where we first collected photos of the driver and passengers, and on our arrival at the Brewfest location collected many more. Of special interest during the event was a presentation and demonstration of home-brewing

by Cavallaro’s How Ya Brewing, and the presence of a full compliment of members in the No Name Trio performing on stage. On the following day we stopped at the Callahan Ice Rink were a birthday party was taking place, both in the party room there, and on the ice. It is interesting that the birthday boy, 9-year-old Ronald “RJ” Packard, of Smethport came up with the idea of using the rink as a venue, even though he had never ice-skated.

It seems that RJ, who attends the third grade at Smethport Elementary School, normally spends his free time as a Junior Olympic Wrestler who wrestles for the Port Allegany school. Nevertheless, we are of the opinion he made the right choice for his party venue, a wrestling party might have been a little rough on his guests……..Kevin Burritt, owner of Burritt Appliance Center at 421 East Main Street and his dad Roger made it possible for us to replace the thermostat knob on our kitchen oven this last week. What a place they have!

While they sell new and used washers, dryers and ovens, they are also a treasure trove for used parts for the same.

We thought some of our more tinkering readers might like to know. In addition, we discovered something else there. Kevin brought our attention to a “PureWash eco-friendly-laundry system” that uses various oxygen radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and ozone among other radicals to clean clothing in cold water and without soap. This relatively inexpensive gadget is a must for people who have sensitive skin……..Carol Orris of the Grant and Carol team from Orris Jewelers tells us that this month marks the 65th anniversary of the opening of Orris Jewelers by Grant’s mom and dad in 1950. They ran it for thirty years and then turned it over to Grant in 1980 who was joined by his wife Carol in 1984. Their store is located on Chamber Street in downtown Bradford where we can all soon take part in their celebration.

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist “Constitutional Convention” Having encouraged political action through suggesting voters take back the power they have squandered over the years, following naturally is the suggestion a Constitutional Convention be held to rewrite the documents.

A real lack of respect has been shown for the Constitution since it was written as it continues to this day being mis-interpreted and trampled upon. Simplicity is needed to show its face in any rewrite with a clear establishment of state rights vs. federal limitation on rights, as well as the limits on all three branches thaat they must adhere to.

The power grabs by Congressional and Administrative branches has tainted freedoms of all kinds. Both houses are guilty being undemocratic in their creation, deliberating and passing of legislation. Today, quite clearly, rules are created on the fly that are directly opposed to democratic ideals such as the consideration for amendments and deliberation on legislation prior to its being voted upon. The Supreme Court, as the interpreter of the Constitution, requires up-to-date clear language so as to eliminate the politically motivated and tortured way they make their interpretations.

A new and improved constitution could define the Court’s responsibilities so as to make a broad set of considerations when making a decision. Such considerations

-by Bob Perry should make the legislative process a major consideration as to the legitimacy of any law under consideration. The Court may well find itself with increased oversight on the other branches of government with the authority to curb the overstep of bounds to be re-established.

Over the years numerous individuals and groups have challenged the right for the federal government to levy and collect income taxes and a constitutional rewrite would solve this issue. Any rewrite must start with the original principles founded upon and structure and discipline must be honored. There is a hope that Christian principles of moral action and thought be of utmost importance and the laws to be created are laws of the citizenry of the country and not of any set of laws imbedded in any specific religion.

There are dangers lurking with a convention with the pressures that come with elitist academics wanting to be the architects of governmental direction and, if you would ask them, they would insist they know best. The same variety that is currently leading this country in the wrong direction. The government of this country has us headed in the wrong direction and there is a fair chance a Constitutional Convention can reshape the structures of government and still pay homage to the Preamble of the existing Constitution.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Tips to Lower Your Taxes April 15 will be here before you know it. Have you done all you can to minimize your tax payments and maximize prudent financial planning? If you’re not sure, there’s still time to make a few smart choices before you file this year’s tax return. The Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants provides these tips.

Reconsider the Standard Deduction Many people automatically take the standard deduction on their return either because it simplifies the task of filing or they’re uncertain about the deductions for which they may qualify. For the 2014 tax year, the standard deduction is $6,200 for single people and $12,400 for married couples filing jointly. But did you know that you may actually be eligible for a much larger deduction if you itemize instead of taking the standard deduction? In fact, the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that in 2002 as many as 2.2 million taxpayers likely overpaid their taxes by about $1 billion because they failed to itemize deductions. Common deductions include home mortgage interest, real estate taxes, state and local income or sales taxes, charitable donations, losses due to casualties or thefts, and unreimbursed medical or employee business expenses.

Depending on which ones apply to you, they could add up to more than the standard deduction, so it’s worth considering itemizing.

Get Organized Holding on to receipts and keeping your documents neatly filed may seem like a hassle, but well-organized records can really pay off at tax time. For one thing, they can help you establish whether you qualify for some common deductions. In addition, a full view of your financial picture can help you and your CPA identify new opportunities to lower your tax bite or make other smart money management choices that can get you on track to meet your short- and long-term financial goals.

Pump Up Your Retirement Plan If you’re a procrastinator, this might be the tax-saving strategy for you. If you qualify to contribute to a traditional individual retirement account (IRA), you can make a contribution right up until April 15 and still deduct it on the previous year’s return if you choose. For 2014 and 2015, the maximum total IRA contribution for traditional and Roth is $5,500 ($6,500 if you’re 50 or older). Remember that interest and dividends you earn on money in a traditional IRA grow tax free until you withdraw them, which is another great reason to enhance your nest egg. Note: your deductions for a traditional IRA may be affected by whether you or your spouse

is covered by an employer’s retirement plan. In addition, your income level may have an impact on the amount of your deduction. Contact your CPA for more information.

Review Your Withholding Everyone loves a tax refund, but if you got a fat check from the IRS last year that may mean that too much is being withheld from your paycheck every week. Review how much you’re having withheld and lower the amount if necessary. Since that

will put more money in your pocket, consider dropping it directly into a retirement account or an emergency fund.

Your Local CPA Can Help This is a great time to reach out to your local CPA to discuss your tax situation and any other financial concern. Make an appointment with him or her today to get the advice you need to make smart financial decisions this year. To find a CPA by location or area of expertise visit: www.ineedacpa.org

Young Couples Begin A Great Evening

Bradford Journal Photo On our arrival at the Bradford Brewfest February 7th, we came across these young couples taking a breather, just outside the event area. Left to right are Chelsea Place (Bradford), John Jaizab (Warren), Jennifer “Yen” Mong (Bradford), and Matt Cannon (from Nebraska). Our guess is that they are just getting started at the Brewfest event, and that this is going to be a long evening.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE 3 Anti-Inflammation Recipes To Help Restore Your Health Nutrition Icon Offers Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Options

The link between chronic disease and inflammation based on a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle has been made clear by now, as outlined in an article from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The article explores how humankind uncovered the tools to overcome infectious disease with germ theory, posited in the 19th Century. More than a century later, as we’ve encountered the wrath of chronic disease – including heart disease, cancer, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, and many others – research has identified a modern-day equivalent, this time caused by inflammation.

“The best medicine to ease the massive suffering endured by so many in our population today is an active lifestyle and an anti-inflammatory diet; food should be nourishing and pleasurable,” says nutritionist and juicing pioneer Cherie Calbom, MS. (“The Juice Lady”). Her latest book, “The Juice Lady’s Anti-Inflammation Diet,” (www.juiceladycherie.com), outlines the causes of inflammation and offers solutions with healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as robust juicing recipes.

“Whether you’re on a vegetarian, vegan, low-carb, no-carb, Mediterranean, Neanderthal or any other kind of diet, there are delicious recipes available to anyone who wants to up their anti-inflammation efforts.”

Calbom lists just three of her many recipes, with some ingredients that may already be found in your pantry, she says.

• Breakfast: Spanish frittata and simple salad with maple orange vinaigrette (serves 4-6). Frittata: 12 large organic eggs; ½ cup coconut milk; ½ tsp. sea salt, or more to taste; 2 tbsp. coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil; 1 small red onion, small chop; ½ cup sautéed mushrooms or your favorite vegetable; 1 cup spinach or arugula.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk the eggs and coconut milk with 2 pinches of salt. Set aside. Prepare pan with coconut oil and medium-high heat and sauté onions until translucent, about 3 min. Add mushroom or favorite vegetable and sauté until soft. Toss in spinach and fold into veggie mixture just until wilted. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside. Turn down the heat to low, adding a little more coconut oil if needed. Using the same skillet, add the eggs, shaking to distribute the mixture evenly. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 min. using a spatula to spread the eggs from the edges to the center until the edges are no longer runny. Arrange the vegetable mixture over the top evenly.

AICR HealthTalk

-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I’ve been seeing news that “sedentary behavior” is bad for your health. Is being sedentary the same as not getting enough exercise, or is this something different?

A: You might think of sedentary behavior and the amount of physical activity you get as two sides of the same coin – and both affect your health. Most studies on the health benefits of physical activity have traditionally looked at how often people spend at least 10 minutes doing moderate and vigorous physical activities, such as brisk walking, jogging, gardening, dancing, biking and other sports. Although any physical activity is better than none, the recommendation is to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate activity daily for cancer prevention, and accumulating 60 minutes a day seems to provide even more protection.

Sedentary behavior refers to what you do the rest of the day. Even people who get 30 to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity daily may spend large amounts of time sitting at work, at home and while traveling from one place to another. Emerging research links more time spent sitting to increased weight, waist size, fasting blood sugar, blood triglycerides and insulin levels. All of these are markers for greater risk of heart disease and create a metabolic environment that seems to pave the way for some types of cancer. Especially for people whose days involve a lot of sitting, including some standing or brief walking every hour or so throughout the day links to healthier waist size and less chronic inflammation. Excess abdominal fat and chronic inflammation are both linked to increased risk of several types of cancer, as well as heart disease and diabetes. So small amounts of movement – taking stairs rather than an elevator, walking down the hall, standing to talk on the phone – may bring important benefits even if they don’t count toward “moderate” physical activity. We may really be looking at two separate aspects of lifestyle that are both important for health: spending less time sitting and accumulating 30 minutes or more of moderate activity each day.

Transfer to a 375-dgree oven and cook for 5 minutes until set and slightly browned. Remove from oven. Be very aware of the hot handle! To finish, slide partially cooked frittata onto a large plate; wearing oven mitts, place a plate over the pan and, holding the two together, invert them so the frittata drops onto the plate.

Slide the frittata back into the pan so partially cooked side is up. Place back in oven to cook 3-4 min. more.

“The simple salad with maple orange vinaigrette is something I dreamed up for a ‘breakfast for dinner’ themed night – a nice complement to the main dish,” she says.

• Lunch: tropical quinoa salad with cashews with carrot fries (serves 4). Quinoa: 1 cup dried quinoa, rinsed well; ½ red onion, finely chopped; 1 cup apple or carrot, finely chopped; juice of 1 lime, 2 tbsp. honey or agave; 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 1 large mango, chopped (not overly ripe); ¼ cup mint, finely chopped; 1 tsp. seal salt, to taste; freshly ground black pepper, to taste; ½-inch-piece ginger, finely chopped; 1 avocado, chopped or thinly sliced; 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped; 3 cups Romaine lettuce (or greens of choice), roughly chopped.

Cook the quinoa: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add the quinoa and simmer, covered 15-20 min.

Set aside and let cool (spread out for best results). In a large bowl toss the chopped red onion and apple/carrot. Whisk together the lime juice, honey and olive oil. Add to the bowl. Add the cooked, cooled quinoa and mango to the bowl and toss well. Mix in mint, cilantro, ginger and salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with sliced avocado and cashews. Scoop mixture over greens and serve chilled or at room temperature.

“Who doesn’t like French fries? – Carrot

fries are a healthy alternative!” Calbom says.

• Dinner: grilled salmon and asparagus with stone fruit and lavender chutney (serves 4-6). Chutney: 2 lb. stone fruit, small dice; 1 large onion, finely chopped; zest of 1 lemon or lime; 2 tbsp. garlic, minced; ¼ tsp. chili flakes (optional); 1/3 cup red wine vinegar; ¾ cup raw honey or agave; ¾ tsp. sea salt; 2 tbsp. fresh lavender (or use basil or mint; use 1 tsp. dried lavender if you cannot find it fresh).

In a saucepan combine all prepared ingredients except the herbs. Bring to a boil.

Continue cooking at a rolling boil, 15 min.

Stir occasionally. Mix in fresh herbs and/ or lavender at the end.

“This chutney will get you excited for salmon all over again,” she says. “Of course, buy wild salmon, which is significantly healthier and environmentally friendly.”

• Snack: Cherry Chocolate Shake (serves 1). 1 Tbsp. unsweetened, unprocessed cocoa powder; ½ cup frozen dark cherries, pitted; 1 cup coconut; almond or flax milk; ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract; several drops of liquid stevia (suggest Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme); ice cubes as desired Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

Cherie Calbom holds a Master of Science degree in whole foods nutrition from Bastyr University. She is author of 26 books including Known as “The Juice Lady” for her work with juicing and health, her juice therapy and cleansing programs have been popular for more than a decade.

hot new dessert trend is here — cookies are getting a makeover. As identified in the McCormick Flavor Forecast 2015, favorite cookie flavors — like snickerdoodles and gingersnaps — are being reimagined in new decadent desserts. From peanut butter mousse tarts to chocolate chip biscotti with a creamy dipping sauce, these desserts redefine “milk and cookies.”

“Here in the kitchens, we looked at the distinctive flavors of popular cookies for inspiration,” said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens. “Cinnamon sugar is the signature flavor in snickerdoodles, so we reimagined that cinnamon sweetness into a peanut butter mousse and peanut crust, resulting in a delicious tart.”

For more twists on classic cookie flavors, check out www.McCormick.com.

A

Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle Tart with Cinnamon Peanut Crust Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 8 minutes Refrigerate: 1 hour Servings: 8 (1/2 tart) servings 1 1/2 cups lightly salted roasted peanuts, lightly crushed 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1 teaspoon McCormick Ground Cinnamon, divided 3 tablespoons chocolate milk 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract 1/2 cup heavy cream Mix peanuts, sugar, butter and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in medium bowl. Remove 1/4 cup and spread on small baking sheet. Divide remaining peanut mixture among 4 (4-inch) tart pans with removable bottoms. Press firmly onto bottom and up sides of each tart pan.

Bake tart crusts and peanut crumble mixture together in preheated 350°F oven 8 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Meanwhile, microwave chocolate milk in medium microwavable bowl on high 45 seconds.

Add chocolate; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Beat peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add heavy cream; beat until soft peaks form. Spread in prepared tart crusts.

Spread chocolate mixture over top.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Cut each tart in half. Sprinkle with toasted peanut crumble. Serve immediately.

Note: To crush peanuts, place peanuts in large resealable plastic bag. Pound with a rolling pin, mallet or heavy skillet until lightly crushed.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Biscotti with White Chocolate Dipping Sauce Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 45 minutes Servings: 16 servings (2 cookies and 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce each) Biscotti: 2 1/2 cups flour 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 eggs 1 teaspoon McCormick Extra Rich Pure Vanilla Extract 1 cup miniature chocolate chips White Chocolate Dipping Sauce: 2 cups half-and-half 8 ounces white chocolate chips 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur 2 teaspoons McCormick Extra Rich Pure Vanilla Extract For the biscotti, mix flour, sugar, dry milk, baking powder and salt in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until well blended.

Mix eggs and vanilla in medium bowl until well blended. Gradually add to flour mixture, beating on low speed until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.

Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a 12-inch long log. Transfer logs to parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten logs to 1-inch thickness.

Bake in preheated 350°F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until slightly risen and firm to touch. Cool logs on wire rack 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Transfer to cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut logs diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place slices, cut sides down, in single layer on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp and golden, turning biscotti over halfway through cook time. Transfer biscotti to wire racks; cool completely.

For the dipping sauce, place all ingredients in medium saucepan on medium heat. Simmer 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring constantly. Serve with biscotti.

n ancient grain with roots that trace back as far as 8000 B.C., sorghum is seeing a resurgence as demand for non-GMO and gluten-free food grows.

Sorghum is an excellent substitute for those with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and can be used to make both leavened and unleavened breads, various fermented and unfermented beverages and can be steamed, popped, flaked or consumed as a whole grain or syrup.

“Sorghum is light in color, has a pleasing texture and tastes similar to wheat, which makes it perfect for use in gluten-free baking,” said gluten-free expert and cookbook author Carol Fenster.

Sorghum also provides iron, calcium, potassium, as well as polycosinol, which research has shown to lower serum cholesterol and may improve heart health.

Contrary to the perception that some grains lead to a spike in blood sugar, research has indicated that sorghum offers slow digestibility and a lower glycemic index. Foods with a lower glycemic index are believed to increase satiety, which means people feel fuller longer, aiding with weight management.

White, food grade sorghum can be milled directly into whole grain flour to produce foods such as cookies, cakes, breads, pizza dough, pastas, cereals and more. Whole grain sorghum is also a healthy addition to salads. Sorghum’s natural attributes make it possible to enjoy deliciously healthful and gluten-free versions of some of America’s favorite foods, thanks to these recipes.

For more recipes and tips for cooking with sorghum, visit www.HealthySorghum.com.

Pearled Sorghum Tangy Pear Salad Contributed by Nu Life Market Salad: 1/2 cup cooked Nu Life Market Pearled Sorghum Grain 8 cups prepared mixed baby greens 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced 1/3 cup dried cranberries Toppings: 2 red Anjou pears, halved vertically and thinly sliced Dressing: Favorite dressing or balsamic vinaigrette To cook sorghum, a ratio of one part sorghum to four parts water should be used. In appropriate size saucepan, add water and heat until boiling. Add sorghum and allow to simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for approximately 45 minutes or until desired tenderness.

Once cooked, drain water from pan and rinse cooked grain. Allow cooked sorghum to cool completely before adding to salad, to avoid wilted lettuce.

Toss together cooked sorghum, baby mixed greens, onion and dried cranberries in large bowl.

To serve, place desired amount of tossed lettuce mixture onto salad plate, adorn with 5 pear slices and drizzle with desired amount of dressing.

Thin & Crispy Sorghum Pizza Crust Contributed by Nu Life Market 1 cup white whole grain sorghum flour 2/3 cup potato starch 4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons xanthan gum 1/2 cup shortening 2/3 cup rice milk Olive oil Garlic powder or granules Whisk dry ingredients together. Cut shortening into flour mix until crumbly. Add rice milk and mix until dough forms sticky ball. Knead on floured surface and continue to work dough, adding flour if necessary. Dough is ready when it no longer sticks to your hand.

Roll into ball and flatten onto ungreased pizza pan. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Gently roll edges over to form ridge.

Bake for 12 minutes at 450°F. Top with your favorite toppings and bake for additional 10–15 minutes.

Mushroom and Garlic Pearled Sorghum Contributed by Nu Life Market 1/2 cup of Nu Life Market Pearled Sorghum Grain 2 cups vegetable stock 1/4 onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup mushrooms, quartered 3 – 4 asparagus shoots 1/4 cup thyme, chopped Bring sorghum and veggie stock to a boil and simmer for approximately 50 minutes.

In small skillet, over medium heat saute onion, garlic and mushrooms until tender. Add to cooked sorghum. Garnish with steamed asparagus shoots and fresh thyme. Serve.

TAURUS - (Apr. 20 - May 20) You owe it to someone to put them in the picture and clear up confusion while it’s still at an early stage.

GEMINI - (May 21 - June 20) Progress isn’t being made where you and someone you love both need and want it to be made.

CANCER - (June 21 - July 22) You can do much more by distancing yourself from whatever-it-is than you can making a concerted effort to keep on top of it.

LEO - (July 23, - Aug. 22) Someone needs to know now how strongly you feel about their involvement and control.

VIRGO - (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) If you feel inclined to take impulsive action, then the best thing you really can do is step back and wait.

LIBRA - (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) This week, where you feel inclined to continue focusing on the past in some way, channel your efforts toward something in the future that would benefit more.

SCORPIO - (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) Don’t succumb to a perceived need to be mysterious or unforthcoming with information now.

SAGITTARIUS - (Nov. 22 - Dec. 20) This week, allow yourself to be helped and supported in ways that are likely manifesting now.

CAPRICORN - (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) The sky insists there is more to a situation or story than is immediately evident.

AQUARIUS - (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) This week might just bring a reassuring reason to let go of what needs letting go of.

PISCES - (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) Where you have, in an unconcerned way, reacted or responded, you’re about to see evidence that doing something was infinitely better than doing nothing.

FAMILY FEATURES

ou don’t need to be an expert on taxes or the new health care law to get it right. The Internal Revenue Service, in partnership with industry-leading companies, is offering free tax software that will do the hard work for you.

It’s called Free File, and it’s available only at IRS.gov/freefile. Learn more at freefile.irs.gov.

If you earned $60,000 or less — and 70 percent of us do — you are eligible for Free File’s brand-name software. If you made more than $60,000, you still have a free option in Free File Fillable Forms. This is the electronic version of IRS paper forms. It’s pretty basic, so this program is best for people comfortable doing their own taxes.

Free File’s software programs will help you find the tax benefits you are due, help pick the right tax forms, and do the math for you. This year, Free File also helps you complete information on your return that is related to the Affordable Care Act. When it comes to the health care law, almost everyone will need to do something new when filing a tax return this year. For each month in 2014, you and everyone on your return will need to do one of the following: Report healthcare coverage Claim an exemption from coverage Make a shared responsibility payment with your tax return Most people will simply have to check a box to indicate they maintained health care coverage for the entire year.

Free File software will ask all the right questions; you supply the answers. More than 43 million people have used Free File since it started in 2003. They have saved $1.3 billion in tax preparation fees — simply by doing it themselves. Getting started is easy:

Y

Gather your tax-related documents Collect the tax materials needed to do your taxes.

Here’s what you’ll need: A copy of last year’s tax return Valid Social Security numbers for yourself, spouse and children All income statements, i.e. W-2 forms, from all employers Interest and dividend statements, i.e. 1099 forms Form 1099-G showing any state refunds Unemployment compensation amount Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, if you purchased coverage from a Health Insurance Marketplace Records of your own and your family members’ health care insurance coverage, including employer provided, government, Marketplace or private coverage

Choose a brand-name software product Once you’ve gathered your materials, go to IRS.gov/freefile to review the 14 company offerings.

Each company sets its own criteria, usually based on age, income or state residency. You can either use a “help me” tool that will match software with your situation or you can review each of the company offerings. Most companies also offer state returns, some for free.

Again, if your income was higher and you are comfortable preparing your own taxes, Free File Fillable Forms may be right for you.

Find tax credits Then, let Free File do the hard work for you. Free File software can guide you through finding tax breaks, and help you receive a more accurate refund.

Some people may not even be aware that they qualify for a tax credit.

For example, the IRS estimates that one out of every five taxpayers eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, a refundable credit for taxpayers with moderate income, fail to claim it.

If you or anyone on your return purchased health care coverage from the Health Insurance Marketplace, you may qualify for the premium tax credit. If you chose to have advance payments of the premium tax credit sent to your insurance provider in 2014, you must file a tax return. You must reconcile, or compare, the advance credit payments with the actual premium tax credit you are allowed to claim on your return. Learn more at IRS.gov/aca.

Get your refund faster Once you’ve completed your return, you can also print a copy and e-file your federal taxes, absolutely free. With electronic filing, you will receive a confirmation within minutes that the IRS has accepted your return. Or, if it’s not accepted, you can easily find out why. E-file helps make your tax return even more accurate, which means a quicker refund. To get your refund even faster, combine e-file with direct deposit.

The Free File software — designed to provide a fast, safe and free filing option — is available online 24/7, giving you the freedom to choose when and how you do your taxes.

Health Care Law Everyone needs to understand how the health care law affects tax returns. You will need to complete one of the following steps, and using Free File, brandname software makes it easier for you.

Reporting health care coverage If you and everyone on your tax return had health care coverage for all of 2014, simply check the “full year coverage” box when completing your return in the Free File software. For most people, that’s it!

Claiming a Coverage Exemption If you did not have health care coverage for all or part of 2014, you may qualify for a coverage exemption. Free File will help you complete Form 8965 and file it with your tax return.

Making a shared responsibility payment If you or your dependents had neither health care coverage nor an exemption, you may need to make a payment with your tax return. Free File will help you calculate your payment and report it on your tax return.

About the Premium Tax Credit If you or anyone on your return purchased insurance coverage from the Marketplace, you may be eligible for the premium tax credit.

If you chose to have advance payments of the premium tax credit sent to your insurer in 2014, you must reconcile or compare the advance credit payments with the actual premium tax credit you are allowed to claim on your return.
