TMTW #254- Don’t Miss October 15th Deadline TODAY

Tax and Money Tip this Week:
Don’t Miss October 15th Deadline (TODAY)
October 15th, 2015 | No. 254

Today is the deadline. 

If you need to file a Form 1040 (individual return), the deadline to file is October 15, 2015. That is today! This assumes you had filed for an extension prior to April 15, 2015.

You also have until today (October 15, 2015) to fund a SEP-IRA for tax year 2014.

As a reminder, putting your tax returns on extension can be a good thing – but penalties to miss the extension deadline can be steep, up to 25% penalty of taxes owed, so make sure that you make the October 15th deadline.

Give us a call if you need help meeting your deadline.

TMTW #249-Insurance Tip- Accident Forgiveness

Tax and Money Tip this Week:
Insurance Tip- Accident Forgiveness
September 9th, 2015 | No. 249

I’d like to share a relatively new addition to some insurance companies auto policies:  The Accident Forgiveness and/or Violation/Ticket Forgiveness Rider.  If you have this on your auto policy, it could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars! (it costs me very little)

Here’s how it works:
If you have this rider on your policy and you or someone in your family has an accident or ticket, your insurance company will “forgive” you one time and not increase your rates.  Some insurance companies have an accident forgiveness rider only and not ticket forgiveness, so be sure to ask questions and understand the details of what you are buying.

Call and ask your auto insurance agent or insurance company if they offer this insurance rider that could save you thousands.
