Jim Brown was born 22 December 1931 to Bea Anna (Longacre) and Joel Ray Brown in La Habra, CA, the last of four children. In 1932 the family moved to Oregon and lived on a farm between Eddyville and Chitwood. There was a spring on the property which formed a little stream. Jim said that they had running water: “Jimmy, run to the spring and get a bucket of water.” Jim decided it would be nice to get to the other side of the little stream so when he was about 4 or 5 he placed two saplings across the stream and got some 1 by 3 end pieces that were left over from one of his dad’s construction jobs. He nailed the boards to the saplings and was then able to ride his tricycle across the stream. He proudly showed his bridge to his uncle who exclaimed, “Jimmy, you are going to be an engineer some day.” And he was! Later the family moved to Newburg, and finally to the Beaverton area. Jim became a lover of music when he was very young. The family had a band and played for church and community functions. He later developed a wonderful baritone voice. Jim’s parents expected the children to have a trade as well as a profession. Jim learned construction at a young age. Jim attended Portland Academy his freshman year, then Columbia Academy his sophomore year, but when his sister, Rae Anna, invited him to join her in southern California he took the offer and helped build Newbury Park Academy. He graduated from there in 1950. He wanted to be an architect and planned to go to the University of Oregon, but his mother wanted him to go to one of “our” schools, so he and his dad visited Walla Walla, where he found out they were offering Architectural Engineering. He graduated from there in 1954. He married Allagene Fried in 1953 and to that union two children were born. Jim started working Brown… Cont. to page 7

Are You Eligible To Claim The IRS Saver’s Credit?

The IRS could have doubly good news for you when you save for retirement.

(NAPSI)—The IRS offers an incentive to lower your tax bill when you save for retirement. Many taxpayers may be eligible to claim the Saver’s Credit, but they may not know that it exists. Also referred to as the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, the Saver’s Credit can reduce federal income taxes for eligible taxpayers who save for retirement through a qualified retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

The 23rd Annual Transamerica Retirement Survey finds that fewer than half (49 percent) of workers are aware of the Saver’s Credit.

“People who are saving for retirement may be able to claim the Saver’s Credit and reduce their federal taxes,” says Catherine Collinson, CEO and president of nonprofit Transamerica Institute® and its Center for Retirement Studies. “Some people may be confusing the tax credit with the taxadvantaged treatment of retirement accounts. The idea of a double tax benefit may sound too good to be true, but both are available to eligible savers.”

What Is the Saver’s Credit?

The Retirement Savings Contributions Credit is a non-refundable tax credit for contributions an eligible taxpayer makes to a 401(k), 403(b) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan, a traditional or Roth IRA, or an ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) account. In this context, “nonrefundable” means the credit cannot exceed a person’s federal income tax for the year. The maximum credit is $1,000 for single filers or individuals and $2,000 for married couples filing jointly. According to TCRS’ analysis of IRS data, the average amount of the Saver’s Credit in 2020 was $186.

Tips for claiming the Saver’s Credit

1. Check Your Eligibility

To be eligible, the maximum Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for single filers is $34,000 in 2022 and $36,500 in 2023. For the head of a household, the AGI maximum is $51,000 in 2022 and $54,750 in 2023. For those who are married filing jointly, the AGI maximum is $68,000 in 2022 and $73,000 in 2023.

You must be 18 years or older by January 1 and cannot be a full-time student or be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return. Consider using the IRS’ online tool to help determine if you are eligible for the Saver’s Credit.

2. Save for Retirement

To claim the Saver’s Credit on your 2022 tax return, you must have contributed to a 401(k), a 403(b), or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan, or an ABLE account during 2022. Contributions to traditional or Roth IRAs are also eligible, and you have until April 18, 2023 to make an IRA contribution for tax year 2022. Rollover contributions are not eligible for the credit.

3. File Your Tax Return and Claim the Saver’s Credit

Let the IRS help you file your federal taxes with its Free File program. The program’s eight partners offer online tax preparation tools, free, to taxpayers with an AGI of $73,000 or less. More at www.irs.gov/FreeFile.

• When using an online tax preparation tool, be sure to answer questions about the Saver’s Credit, also referred to by the IRS as the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, and Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions.

• If you prepare your tax return manually, complete Form 8880, Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions, to determine your exact credit rate and amount. Then transfer the amount to line 4 on Schedule 3, which is used with Forms 1040, 1040-SR, and 1040-NR.

• If you use a professional tax preparer, be sure to ask about the Saver’s Credit.

Brown…

Cont. from page 4 for Westwood Homes, Beaverton Oregon, and worked for them for a year and a half, then went to the Portland office of the US Army Corp of Engineers. He worked one year there, and moved to San Diego and worked for General Dynamics. After a year he returned to the Army Corp of Engineers and worked in various locations. He designed the no-jump barrier (Krail) while working on the relocation of a bridge when the Corp was working on the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. You now see K-rails on all the freeways. Of course, he never got credit for it since he was a federal employee. He retired from the Corp in 1983. He then became a consultant for Cal Trans and was resident engineer for various freeway jobs. He retired from that job and opened his own office, Jim Brown & Associates. He mainly did plans for fire insurance rebuilds. He closed his office on his 80th birthday and moved to San Diego County. He did two or three more jobs and did his last Continuing Education in 2017 which kept his licenses current through 2018. He met Diana Cowan at Pine Springs Ranch at a singles week-end. The mixer was to find the person whose birthday was closest to yours. Their birthdays were four days apart. They were surprised to learn they were both members of the same congregation, the Loma Linda University Church of Seventh-day Adventists. He went to first service and she to second and had never seen each other. They were married in 1997. They enjoyed doing volunteer projects with Maranatha International. They did projects in Norway, Portugal, Ecuador, Chile, and the United

States; twenty-three all together. He and Diana brought property at Lake Thunderhead in 2000, and started building their home there in 2001. He loved his summers at the lake and requested his ashes be buried in Putnam County. Jim died November 20, 2022 with his true love, Diana, by his side. In addition to his wife Diana he is survived by his son David and wife Nancy, his son Donald, three grandchildren, Michael (Tara), Jonathan, and Lydia, and four great grandchildren.
