Protect Yourself against Dishonest Tax Preparers

Ahead of the tax filing season, the Idaho State Tax Commission is giving advice on how to watch out for tax fraud. Many college students file tax returns for the first time without any knowledge of income taxes. They can protect against dishonest preparers who promise large refunds or push tax credits they might not qualify for.

If you're a college student using a tax preparer, guard yourself by doing the following:

Discuss details of and ask questions about credits you think you qualify for.

Get copies of both your federal and state returns, and review them before signing.

Is the bank account on the return yours?

Is the refund larger than you expected?

Did the preparer list their contact information on the return?

Are there items that don't make sense, like a business on the return, or credits you don't understand?

Get clarification for items you don't understand, and... don't sign the return if you believe it's incorrect. What can happen if you submit a false tax return?

 You'll be audited for the discrepancies in the return. This can include penalties and interest.

 If you can't pay the extra money you owe, the Tax Commission will find other avenues to collect.

 False tax returns can affect your credit score if a lien is filed against you for the extra money you owe.

 It's considered a felony if you intentionally seek out a preparer to inflate and file your refund. If you suspect you've fallen victim to a dishonest preparer, call the Tax Commission's fraud unit at (208) 332-4060, and contact the IRS.

Comments Sought on IDPR Grant Proposals

The Sawtooth National Forest seeks public comments on several proposed projects for which the forest is seeking grant money from the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation.

Each year, the State of Idaho awards funds raised through the sale of a variety of boating, recreation, and off-road vehicle stickers to public land agencies through a grant application process. Public support of these projects is a consideration of funding.

The following Sawtooth National Forest projects are up for grant funding consideration:

Bear Creek Transfer Camp Improvements – This Recreation Vehicle Fund grant request would allow staff to replace fire rings, picnic tables, site markers and to add new metal utility tables to each campsite. A new information board, directional signage, road maintenance and a graveled-surface parking area would improve the camping experience and improve recreational vehicle access. Contact for this project is Steve Frost, who can be reached at 208-764-3202, via e-mail at steven.frost@usda.gov or by mail sent to Frost’s attention at Fairfield Ranger District, P.O. Box 189, Fairfield, ID, 83327.

Idaho State Groomer of the Year

Steve Waugh of Gooding, Idaho, was recently named 2023 Idaho State Groomer of the Year. He was presented the award at the January meeting of the Northside Snowmobile Club Meeting by Jamie Guthrie, Idaho State Snowmobile Association Board Member.

Steve has been active in snowmobiling since the age of 3 when he first drove his own snowmobile, an Elan. His family was actively involved in the snowmobile club of which he attended meetings as a young child.

He is currently the Coordinating Operator of the Grooming program in Camas County. He has been involved in the grooming program for over 40 years. When the grooming program first started, trails were groomed with a snowmobile pulling a small groomer behind and all work was done on a volunteer basis. It would take most of the day to get to Wells Summit. Over time,the grooming operations have changed and grooming the trails is now much more comfortable in an enclosed cab and with much better equipment allowing a smoother, better trail.

Steve loves the outdoors and working with people and organizations to keep snowmobiling and now snow bike riding safe for families. Safety has always been Steve's number 1 concern. He is constantly checking avalanche danger and snow conditions before sending his operators out to groom. He attributes this award to the many dedicated operators he has worked with and trained to keep this program fun and safe for families to enjoy.

An acknowledgment and special thanks needs to be made to John Peterson, who has spent many years along side Steve as the main mechanic keeping the groomer serviced and operating properly.

Thanks, Steve, for making winter fun!

Rest for Weary Travelers

Snowman!

One day my sister, Ariaineys, and I are feeling hungry and our stomachs grumble. We go dashing to the fridge door and open it. I look inside of it with a frowny face.

I tell my sister, "There are just vegetables in the fridge."

I look at the ground. My mom opens the door of the room in a rush and says, "Bye. I'm going to work." She stops her rush and looks at us.

"What?" my sister and I asked.

"Don't just sit there all day; go play outside!" putting her hand on her hip.

"I'm going," I said, getting off the couch. We go in the room while my mom leaves outside. We walk out the door with our snow clothes. We wave our mom goodbye.

"Crunch." I take another step in the snow "Crunch. Push. Plop." My sister shoves me in the snow. I start to shake my legs and arms and my sister looks at me.

"You are making a snow angel." I lift up my head and nod. I put my head back in the snow. "Wait, wasn't there just carrots and more in the fridge?" I said scratching my head. "Why don't we make a snowman?"

"Yeah we should make a snowman!"

My sister starts off with a small snowball. We keep rolling it in the ground until it grows bigger and bigger. We go dig for rocks as buttons, eyes, and a smiley face. We open the door, we look in the fridge, we grab the carrots and run out the door. We stick the carrot into the snowman's face.

"Wait, we need one more thing." Ariaineys goes and roll up a snowball and puts it in the snowman's hand "There you go," my sister said.

The snow man starts to shake. We look at the snowman confused, we run toward the door. A snowball hits my sister and she slips on the ice. "Boom" she falls on the ice. "Oh no you didn't." My sister rolls up a snowball, the snowman catches it, I yell "snowball fight!" We start throwing snowballs all over the place. "Oh no" I said.

All of a sudden the snowman is back to normal and my mom walks out the door. "Aww, what a cute snowman. Come on, let's go inside it is cold," my mom said shivering.

The next day "Okay, I'm going to work; be good," My mom said, grabbing her purse. My sister and I look at each other and we smile.

In 1990 they returned to the West Point area of Wendell to continue dairying. Tom sold the cows in 2005 and went to work for Harold Wartluft of Gooding Green Chop as a truck driver. He retired in 2011 to work at tearing down old buildings and cutting metal for sale.

Helen Boumann Williams

Helen Baumann Williams, 90, passed away Tuesday morning January 3, 2023, four weeks shy of what was to be her 91st birthday. Helen was the youngest of four children.

She was born January 30, 1932 to Richard and Delina Baumann in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The combination of her German heritage and having three older brothers likely contributed to her strong-willed personality and toughness. It prepared her well for raising two boys, their friends and life on the farm. Helen was no stranger to hard work. Right out of high school she began work as a switchboard operator for Mountain Bell Telephone. Yes, just like Lily Tomlin for those old enough to remember "Laugh-In". She then moved on to work as a secretary (that's what they were called in those days) for Idaho Power. She saved up her paychecks and purchased a 1950's General Electric water heater for parents. That water heater is still in service today. They sure don't make appliances or people like they used to.

She married Burrel Williams and moved to the farm north of Shoshone. You would find her on the farm driving tractor, milking cows, mending fences and all the while feeding family and animals. Once she was hospitalized with broken ribs and a punctured lung after a mother cow rammed her while she was caring for the calf. As if a full day on the farm wasn't enough, she would be shuttling kids to their sports events and serve as the scorekeeper. To make ends meet on the farm, Helen would take part-time jobs at local businesses. You might have seen her at Grosse Drug Store, Shooks Country Store or Hanson's Department Store.

There was a sweet side to Helen, beyond her affinity for Coke and candy bars. Helen enjoyed playing games (card games, board games, bowling, ping pong, pool) and she was good. She always had an event or game to entertain the grandkids and enjoyed making their favorite meals for them. Usually followed up with milk shakes for them and their friends. And then there were her miniature pet dogs. She spoiled them like any doting grandmother would. There were completely unique qualities that Helen possessed. She was a first responder. Always showing up when needed. She once fixed a broken-down bus that was on a field trip with her granddaughter aboard. Helen didn't like anything to be wasted. She taught her grandchildren the art of dumpster diving to rescue valuable stuff. Crafts, she loved crafting. Helen created an amazing array of items from rescued stuff and from the endless amount of items purchased from craft stores.

The second chapter of her life began after the farm went under as well as her marriage to Burrel. Its then that she began working as a housekeeper in Sun Valley. She enjoyed talking with the celebrities while cleaning up after them. One of her favorites was Bud Yorkin (writer and producer of "All in The Family"). She was sure he came up with some of his scripts after talking to her. Other favorites were Arnold and Maria who would give her memorabilia and Ann Margaret who would pitch in and help her make beds. Peter Cetera of Chicago spent an evening chatting with Helen while she was trying work. Peter seemed to find her much more interesting than the other attendees. She was treated well by her Sun Valley clients. Helen will fondly be remembered as a hard-working woman, who came to the rescue in times of need, and who loved her family with hot meals and an open door. We will cherish how she loved us in her own special way and are glad she is at peace.

She was proceeded in death by: her ex-husband - Burrel; her parents; older brothers and their spouses - Jerry and Nita, Dick and Florene, and Dean and Lucy.

Surviving family members consist of her children and their spouses - Dewey and Connie and Lee and Karen); grandchildren - Michael and Shannon Williams, Justine and Tommy Kay, and Kylee and Miles Wiscombe; and numerous nieces, nephews and great grandchildren.

No funeral services are planned.

Marilyn Swenson

December 12, 1936 — December 20, 2022

Marilyn Swenson was born December 12, 1936, to Norman and Madge McFee in the state of Missouri. She had two sisters, Juanita and Norma Jean, and two brothers, Carl and Norman. Her family moved to Idaho where she went to school in Firth.

Marilyn met and married the love of her life, Eugene Swenson, on November 20, 1953. They had four children, Vernon (Trina) Swenson of Lewiston; Sheila Summers of Boise; Sherri (Oscar) Campa of Gooding; and Sharlene (Kenneth) Taylor of Hagerman. Eugene and Marilyn moved to Mountain Home and farmed there for many years. Marilyn did the farm books and worked at a mini-mart.

The family then moved to Hagerman in 1973 to farm on Bells Rapid. Marilyn loved to play Scrabble or Yahtzee all evening when she could. She was very active in her children’s lives and with her church family. Marilyn and Eugene were one of the founders of the Hagerman Christian Center.

Marilyn loved her 13 grandchildren and 34 greatgrandchildren. She enjoyed doing activities with them whether it be making cookies, playing on the three-wheeler, taking them to the fields during harvest to bring lunch, or running and getting supplies.

Marilyn had a stroke in November 2001 but never let it hold her back. She was well-loved by family and friends alike, and she will be missed dearly.

Marilyn is survived by her children; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; her siblings; and one grandson.

A celebration of Marilyn’s life was held on Friday, January 6, 2023, at Valley Baptist Church in Hagerman, Idaho.

Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on Marilyn’s memorial webpage at www.farnsworthmortuary. com
