I
f you want to make your workday a bit better, just turn to coffee. That’s according to a survey where coffee was identified as key to securing some of offices’ best business deals, improving networking and giving office workers a feeling of being at their best. In fact, the recent survey conducted by Harris Poll and Keurig Green Mountain showed that of the 843 adults who were interviewed (presumably around the coffee machine), 89 percent said a good cup of coffee makes their entire workday even better.

“Clearly, coffee plays an important role in our society and means so much more than just taking a break from work,” says Nicole Williams, Career Expert and founder of WORKS. “It has become a way of bringing individuals together, for colleagues to brainstorm or collaborate, to interact with your boss in a more casual way or even spark one’s own creativity.” Without their daily cup of joe, coffee drinkers can feel a range of negative emotions -- exhausted (36 percent), irritable (35 percent), unproductive (30 percent), disorganized (20 percent) or forgetful (14 percent). The data only re-enforced Keurig’s take that coffee has a variety of surprising social and professional benefits, which is why the company took on a new challenge -- to brew a better carafe of coffee, faster. With its new BOLT System, Keurig believes it has changed the way coffee is brewed in the workplace.
“The next time you plan a big meeting, go one step further by making a large carafe for everyone in the room,” says Williams. “Almost half of office workers who drink coffee agree that coffee has been the key to making some of their office’s best business deals happen. The more time and effort you put into planning a great meeting, the better your team will appreciate you and the task at hand.”
The company challenged its engineers to come up with something nearly everyone in the office will appreciate -- a system that brews a better pot

of coffee with no mess in two minutes. What came of the collaboration between the mechanical and electrical engineers and software team was a system that could brew 64 ounces of delicious fresh coffee, faster than ever before -- which may be a huge boon for office workers’ productivity.
What Does It Mean to File a Tax Extension?
an’t file your tax return by the April 15 deadline? Taxpayers can request an automatic six-month extension of time to file the tax return. But, taxpayers beware, there is a catch. An extension is just an extension on the time to file the return -- it is not an extension on the time to pay.
Taxpayers are required to estimate the amount of tax that may be due with the tax return and remit payment with the extension to avoid failureto-pay penalties. These penalties and interest could accrue from April 15 until the tax is paid, regardless of the extension. If a balance is still owed when the actual tax return is filed, at least the penalties and/or interest will have been minimized. “If taxpayers are unable to file their tax return by April 15, there are several ways to request an automatic extension of time to file an individual return,” says Twila Denton Midwood, EA, an enrolled agent with Advanced Tax Centre, Inc. of Rockledge, Florida and president of the Florida Society of Enrolled Agents. “Most enrolled agents and other tax professionals can e-file the ‘Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File US Individual Tax Return’ for taxpayers. Or the application can be found on the IRS website (look for Form 4868), which can be printed and then mailed to the IRS. Whether taxpayers use a tax professional or print the application themselves, all
or part of the estimate of the income tax due can be paid with a check or credit/debit card or by using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System.” Information regarding remitting payment can be found on Form 4868. The fee charged will depend on the amount of the payment. Be sure to record the confirmation number provided upon payment. If a taxpayer estimates that he will owe taxes and is unable to pay, it is important that they file their returns timely. Failure-to-file penalties may be assessed in addition to failure-to-pay. So, to minimize penalties, it is always best to file the return or an extension and remit as much as possible with either. Payment plans may be established later. If you receive a notice from the IRS at any time during the year, contact your tax preparer immediately. If you did not hire one to prepare your tax return, you should then contact a licensed tax professional. Only enrolled agents (EAs), CPAs and attorneys have unlimited rights to represent you before the IRS. The term “enrolled agent” reflects that an EA can act as your agent before administrative levels of the IRS -- meaning he or she can talk to or meet with the IRS in your stead. To find an enrolled agent in your area, visit the searchable “Find an EA” directory at www.naea.org. -(NewsUSA)
