Filing Your Taxes

As the April 15, 2019 (Monday) tax filing deadline approaches, I want to pass along some useful information for those who may be expecting to receive a tax return.

One of the features of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is to decrease withholdings, which results in more money in each paycheck for most Americans. This means that your refund may be different than last year. If you would like to know the personalized status of your tax refund, you can visit www.irs.gov and select “Refund Status”. For assistance with the IRS, please visit www.irs.gov for filing options, as well as other services and resources.

Secretary DeVos

First, her plans to ensure individuals with disabilities have more choices in their employment opportunities. Second, her plan to promote dual enrollment opportunities so high school students can finish college quicker and with less debt.

The National Beer Wholesalers Association stopped by my office to talk about historic Tax Reform and ways to keep the industry brewing.
