Making filing your 2013 return less taxing Although some are ready to say their fond farewells to 2013, thought needs to be given to the 12 months that just passed as tax-filing season approaches. It’s never too soon to begin preparations for filing income taxes. Some people prefer to toast the new year and then arrange appointments with their accountants, while others use the new year as an opportunity to get organized and start compiling paperwork and tax questions. Preparing for tax time at the dawn of a new year can make the process go more smoothly in the months ahead. Here are some tips on how to prepare for the upcoming tax season.
Start a documents folder. Employers, charitable organizations, banks and other financial institutions begin mailing out tax forms from the previous year in early January. Individuals should keep their eyes open for any mail that appears to be tax-related. Store these documents in a folder that can protect any sensitive information. Such folders also make information more accessible as more and more documents arrive in the mail. Begin collecting receipts and itemizing expenses. Many expenses are tax-deductible. These can include education costs, moving expenses, home improvements, medical expenses, charitable donations and childcare costs. Store receipts and other documentation, including canceled checks, with the other tax documents.
Tax-filing season is right around the corner, and the dawn of a new year is a great time to start gathering documents and preparing returns.

These will come in handy should an audit ever be ordered. Create a spreadsheet of important information. It is handy to have all financial information at the ready. Some accountants will lower their fees if people do some of the filing preparation work themselves. This can include creating a profit/loss statement on investments or working up a tally of charitable donations. Make an itemized list of all pertinent information so it will be handy when tax-filing time arrives. Decide on a filing option. Technology has made filing taxes much easier. Tax preparation software is available for those who choose to file their taxes themselves. There also are walk-in centers that will prepare tax-filing documents. Individuals also can visit a certified public accountant. Whatever method taxpayers choose, allow for

ample time to gather information and get the taxes filed by the deadline. Leave some wiggle room in case one filing method doesn’t work out. Start saving money. Although the goal is to get a refund each and every year, taxpayers sometimes owe money, which can be troublesome for men and women whose budgets are stretched thin already. Those who owed money in the past should begin saving money for tax expenses as early as possible. Develop a good filing system. Many financial professionals will advise people to keep financial records for seven years. Any tax documents should be kept together should they need to be referenced or if an audit is ordered. Designate a filing cabinet or a box specifically for tax documents.

The Accidental Parent
What if? By Betsy Lee
My Sienna minivan crests the gutter, easing into my driveway. I push the shifter to “P.” The lights in my house are on and, I know, inside, there are three smiling, laughing children with a glint in their eyes. They always have that light when they spend time with Grandma. I know I should go in. And I should do my motherly duty, tucking them gently, tear-free, into their beds. But I don’t want to. So I sit, the seatbelt still resting on my shoulder.
Things haven’t been easy lately. There’s been more yelling than playing. More timeouts than hide-and-seeks. More tears than laughter. The stress and burden of having three children under age 6 is much more than I ever imagined. I never pictured piles of laundry, endless cooking and being kicked in the face by an overwhelmed 3-year-old. I didn’t envision looking at the precious little people I created as life-sucking vultures, holding my freedom hostage in sticky, marker-covered hands. I always thought I would be apologizing for my demanding work schedule, while secretly cherishing the sweetness of
personal accomplishment. As these burdens swirl in the darkness, it occurs to me: What if? What if I put the car in reverse? What if I told no one and just didn’t come home tonight? What if I put down the weight that sometimes seems to have crushed everything I used to be? Would I be the writer I always imagined I’d be? Would I travel the world as a nomad, searching for meaning in the chaos of humanity? Right now, this very minute, I could buy a plane ticket and spend tomorrow morning wandering the streets of New York City. I could luxuriate on the

beaches of Bali. I could hole up in a South American tree house, reading books and writing poetry. I imagine taking deep breaths of mountain air. I imagine awaking with the sunrise, rested and able. What if I could just put it all down? Could I call it a well-deserved respite from the nearly six years I’ve spent incubating, feeding and nurturing these little creatures? Would I emerge from even just a short reprieve better prepared for the constant compromise? And would walking away, without a word, let everyone know my secret — the one I’m always trying to say, without

really saying — that I sometimes feel like I’m drowning? My hand is resting heavily on the shifter. I move my hand to the key, still resting in the ignition. And I turn it. Off. I open my car door and feel the hard pavement through the soles of my boots. I walk along the curved path to my front door. And when I turn the knob, I hear peals of laughter. I put a smile on my face. And, inhaling deeply, I cross over the threshold.

If weight loss is one of your New Year’s resolutions but a gym membership isn’t in your budget, there are some small, simple changes you can make that will make a big difference, according to Dr. Elizabeth Gerstner of The Liberty Clinic. Making dietary changes and adding exercise into a routine isn’t easy. But before dismissing healthy eating and exercise, consider this: Many medical problems can be prevented by these two things that
the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition. 3. See your physician for a physical and find out if your blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar are putting you at risk for heart disease, stroke or diabetes. “Even if you’re not at high risk, knowing that you are able to prevent all of the above simply by controlling what you eat and living a more active lifestyle can be a strong motivator,” Dr. Gerstner said.
we can control.
Wrap your arms around good health in 2014
“A healthy lifestyle is one of the most key things you can do to control your health,” Dr. Gerstner said. “Exercising, eating well and avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol truly have huge payoffs to adding years to your life, and keeping your brain and mind young. Diet and exercise work in conjunction to keep your heart strong and positively affect every organ system in your body. These are the major things you are completely in control of, and it’s your choice whether you want to potentially add healthy, active years onto your life.” The key is to start by setting small goals. Dr. Gerstner offered the following tips:
your overall well being,” she said. “Cutting out the fatty, fried and sugary foods and soda pop, and eating more vegetables, fruits and lean meats can make a huge difference.”
1. Cut out the bad and focus more on the good things to eat. “It is important to remember the things you are putting into your mouth affect

4. Avoid tobacco use and excess use of alcohol. “They affect every organ system negatively and neutralize any other healthy lifestyle changes you may be making.” Most of all, Dr. Gerstner said, stop making excuses. As a full-time physician, wife and mother of two, she understands a busy lifestyle. “There really are no excuses,” she said. “We all have things going on in our lives. But we also all want to keep living and keep being able to be active. It’s not supposed to be easy; that’s why it’s called ‘working out.’ But it has huge payoffs, and it’s up to you — and only you — on what rewards you want to reap both now and in the future.” To join others whose new year’s resolution is weight loss, find out more about Liberty’s Commit to Get Fit Weight Loss Challenge in 2014 — to collectively lose 1,200 pounds and shed 120 inches in 12 weeks.

Starting this year, Chloe’s Law will require every infant born in Missouri to be screened for critical congenital heart disease. More than 30 other states also have added CCHD to their lists of disorders for which newborns are screened shortly after birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect in
the United States, affecting about 1 percent of births each year, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. CCHD makes up from 17 to 31 percent of all congenital heart defects and requires either surgical or catheter intervention soon after birth. If left untreated, CCHD can lead to death or serious developmental delays.
With an incidence of approximately 18 out of every 10,000 babies, it is estimated there are about 140 babies born in Missouri each year with CCHD. Without early intervention, these babies could be sent home at risk of developing serious complications within the first few days or weeks of life. CCHD screening is a non-invasive
method using pulse oximetry to measure the amount of oxygen in the baby’s blood. The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Heart Association, March of Dimes and other national organizations have recommended CCHD screening be added to the routine screenings provided to all newborns.

Critical financial questions to ask before ‘I do’ Engagement season is officially here, with couples around the country saying “yes” to proposals and starting to plan their weddings. In fact, 39 percent of marriage proposals happen between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, according to WeddingChannel. com. While immediate discussions with your partner might be focused on the ceremony venue or honeymoon location, there’s another important consideration before saying “I do” — having the finance talk. Joining your lives through marriage also means joining your lives financially. Having a solid understanding about money, which includes insurance, will help ensure a marriage remains strong long after the honeymoon is over. However, many couples are skipping important conversations. While 71 percent of newly married couples acknowledge the importance of sharing beneficiary designations before
misunderstandings and help ensure your marriage remains strong by having a talk about these matters as soon as possible.
Research shows disconnect between what couples say and do when it comes to insurance conversations before marriage marrying, almost half never got around to addressing their life insurance needs prior to the wedding, according to a survey by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. And it’s not just young couples who are skipping the conversation — newlywed couples

Life — Now that “I” means “we,” couples should evaluate life insurance based on future income potential, the cost of raising children and outstanding mortgage payments. In many states, your new spouse does not automatically become your beneficiary on existing insurance policies.
