Message from Lynn: Dear Friends: You can almost hear the hum of calculators and feel the panic. Yes, that time of year has arrived - tax filing season! As a practicing Certified Public Accountant I constantly reminded my clients that tax time didn't need to be the cause of gray hair and wrinkles. With a little bit of preparation, year-round organization and an early start, tax season can be a walk in the park. March's MoneyWise offers advice on subjects ranging from tax breaks for homeowners to the benefits of e-filing. Another interesting article is a collection of quick case-studies that shows examples of how some deductions are applied and denied. Tax season makes all of us stop and take a deep breath. With the proper preparation and assistance, it doesn't have to cause hyperventilation! It is an honor to serve as your Kansas State Treasurer and I hope you enjoy a stress-free tax season!
