Kwanzaa across Chicago encourages unity, strength: 'It's relevant to all people'By Kemberley Washington, CPA, Bankrate.com (TNS) As the end of the year approaches, now’s the time to start preparing for filing your 2024 tax return in 2025. When it comes to tax strategies, generally Dec. 31 is the deadline to make changes that might lower your tax bill. One major exception is the deadline for contributing to a Roth or traditional IRA : You have until April 15, 2025, to make a contribution to a Roth or traditional IRA for tax year 2024. If you qualify for deductible IRA contributions , then a contribution to your traditional IRA can reduce your taxable income for 2024. Here are tips and strategies to prepare now for the 2025 tax-filing deadline. If you had significant changes in your life in 2024 — maybe you got married or divorced, started your own business, or had to claim unemployment benefits — your taxes may be more complicated. As a result, you might need to hire a certified public accountant (CPA), enrolled agent (EA) or other tax professional to prepare and file your taxes. If you decide to hire someone, it’s best to start planning for that sooner rather than later. Waiting until the calendar flips to April could cost you. The average fee for a professional to prepare and file a simple Form 1040 tax return, with no itemized deductions, is about $220, according to a survey by the National Society of Accountants in 2020-2021, the most recent data available. But that amount rises quickly for more complex returns, and varies depending on where you live. For example, a Form 1040 with itemized deductions costs an average of $432 in states on the Pacific Coast, compared with $285 in New England. No matter where you live, prices usually rise as the tax deadline approaches, so it’s smart to start searching for a tax pro soon. If you’re uncomfortable doing your taxes on your own and can’t afford a CPA, enrolled agent or other tax pro, or to pay for tax software , there are free options to consider. The IRS currently offers three ways to prepare your taxes for free: •With the IRS Free File program, the IRS partners with for-profit tax-software companies that offer free tax-prep software to eligible taxpayers so they can file their federal tax returns for free. Some taxpayers may also qualify for a free state tax filing, depending on the software provider. In January, the IRS will announce the income limit to qualify for the program for the 2025 tax season (for filing 2024 tax returns). For the 2024 tax season (2023 tax returns), taxpayers’ adjusted gross income (AGI) couldn’t exceed $79,000. •The IRS also offers its Direct File program, a free tool that allows you to file your federal income tax return directly with the IRS at no cost. The program supports simple tax returns and is available only in certain states. Check to see if you qualify here. •Another free-filing option is the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. IRS-certified volunteers offer free basic tax preparation in person to people who earn less than $67,000 a year, are disabled or whose English is limited. The IRS has an online location tool for hundreds of free tax preparation sites in the U.S. (the locator tool is updated from February through April). Some VITA sites also offer online tax-prep assistance. Now is a good time to create an IRS online account. If you want to see your Form 1040 from last year, or you’re missing a prior year Form W-2 or mortgage interest statement, you can find your documents using this free tax tool. Another benefit of creating an IRS online account is that it allows you to quickly obtain your prior year’s tax information without sitting on the phone for hours with an IRS representative, says Carl Johnson, a certified public accountant in New Orleans. An IRS online account also lets you view your account balance and payment history for each year. You can also create a payment plan to settle your federal income tax debt within minutes. If you’re 73 years old and have enjoyed watching your 401(k) or IRA grow tax-free without touching it, remember that the IRS is going to want its share each year. That means you’ll have to make withdrawals — and pay income tax. If you turned 73 in 2024, plan to take your required minimum distribution (RMD) at the latest by April 1, 2025. Read this IRS bulletin for more information. The amount of your RMDs is based on your age and the year-end values of your retirement accounts. A Roth IRA has two big tax advantages over a traditional IRA : Qualified withdrawals are not considered income for federal (and usually state) tax purposes, and you don’t have to take distributions from a Roth every year once you reach age 73. Converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA may save you money in the long run. Just know that when you convert an IRA to a Roth, it’s considered taxable income, which will raise your tax bill for that year. Generally, it’s best to convert to a Roth IRA when you’re in a low-income year. As tax season approaches, many people start receiving phone calls, emails and texts from entities claiming to be the IRS. Be wary, and understand that these are scams. Typically, the IRS will mail you a notice before using any other method of communication to notify you concerning issues with your tax return. The IRS won’t reach out via social media or text messaging. Relatedly, the IRS warns taxpayers to be careful when choosing a tax preparer. Taking time to vet your tax preparer is crucial to protect yourself from tax scams and fraud. Before hiring a tax professional, search that person’s name in the IRS database of federal tax return preparers to avoid dishonest “professionals.” “Taxpayers should check the tax professional’s credentials,” Johnson says. Tax pros without credentials “may take questionable positions without any degree of scrutiny or fear of losing their access to the profession,” Johnson says. Taxpayers who don’t file a tax return and owe a tax bill, or who file but don’t pay their tax bill on time, risk severe penalties. The IRS can even seize assets if necessary. Respond quickly if the IRS has been sending you letters because it found an error on your return or claims you owe back taxes. Typically, the IRS will send you a notice if you have a balance due, changes were made to your tax return, or the agency needs additional information. “If you ignore a collection letter from the IRS, you may face wage garnishments, liens, bank levies, and other adverse action. And in some cases, the amount due may increase for failure to respond,” Johnson says. Keep in mind the IRS does offer installment plans and other payment plans. Make copies of your correspondence and use only the U.S. Postal Service, the postmark from which is your proof of timeliness when responding. But whatever you do, don’t ignore the IRS because this may cause more issues in the future. ©2024 Bankrate.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Being a Dallas Cowboys fan comes with a price. Aside from that three-Super Bowl run in the ’90s, they don’t have much to show for it. They’ve reached the playoffs a few times in the 21st century but couldn’t make it past the Divisional Round. Denzel Washington, a longtime fan of the struggling franchise, has felt this void and pain too. But the jabs he has been taking recently have been more brutal, especially coming from his son. On the ‘Rich Eisen Show,’ John Washington, the eldest son of Denzel, revealed that he has been “making fun” of his father recently. And why wouldn’t he? After a terrible offseason with basically zero noteworthy moves or trades, the Cowboys spent big—maybe too big—on QB Dak Prescott, who is now injured. CeeDee Lamb, who got his payday too, has been struggling as well, tallying just four touchdowns in 10 games. America’s Team, the franchise that is supposed to represent the NFL worldwide, is sitting third in the NFC East. And that too, with just one more win than the NY Giants, who are in dead last. With these points in mind, it’s more than understandable why John has been making fun of his father. Another reason why John Washington might be mocking his father is that the Protagonist from ‘Tenet’ is actually an Eagles fan. “I’m an Eagles person, I love the Eagles,” he shared during the show. Having beaten the Commanders last week, Philadelphia currently stands atop the NFC North — something the Cowboys and their fans had hoped for before the season. Notably, John Washington played in the NFL for two years (2006-2007) with the then-St. Louis Rams, albeit only on the practice squad or during the offseason. During that time, Denzel would reportedly visit preseason broadcast locations just to catch a glimpse of his son playing. Rich Eisen once had the opportunity to have Denzel in the room during that time when he was calling a Rams game. He revealed that whenever John had the ball in his hand, Denzel would be “locked in,” something he found very intriguing. For those out of the loop, NFL Network did not broadcast any preseason games live during that period. They were aired at a later time. John played in the European league and the UFL before an injury cut his football career short. But he has now found his passion in acting. He has starred in movies like Tenet, BlacKkKlansman, The Creator, and the TV series, The Ballers.Holiday travel season begins, a lost waltz and Trump's guitars | Hot off the Wire podcast

In a Sunday report titled “The Resistance goes quiet,” Axios aimed to explain why the left wing has not erupted into widespread protests like what occurred when Trump beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton eight years ago. WATCH — White House: Biden Still Considers Donald Trump an Existential Threat: Lisa Mueller, a political science professor at Macalester College, said female Democrat voters are more disappointed than shocked this time around. “So they didn’t have the same acute trigger to rush to the barricades that they did the first time,” Mueller, who studies social movements, said. “It’s very likely that there is some disillusionment with activism.” Auburn University political science professor Mitchell Brown concurred, saying, “When you first see something unexpected, it’s really jarring and you react strongly.” “But the more you see and normalize something that was unexpected ... the more habituated you become to it,” she explained. According to Mark Brilliant, a history professor at University of California, Berkeley, Democrat politicians “are urging their party-mates to look inward, which is always a good place to turn after defeat.” WATCH — “Women Have a Right to Privacy”: Nancy Mace Won’t Budge After Trans Rights Protester Disrupts Event: The Women’s March was one of the most prominent activist groups organizing events and raising money to support causes against Trump during his first term, but its managing director, Tamika Middleton, told Axios they need to find new ways to mobilize people. “We have been through a Trump presidency before, so we have some sense of what it is that we anticipate, and also some sense of what we need,” Middleton said. “We know that we need a bigger, more robust movement, which means that we have to be bringing in as many people as possible.” In a recent episode of the New York Times’ “Daily” podcast, titled “From Resistance to Reflection,” Women’s March co-founder Vanessa Wruble said talks of another march event are “not going over real well.” While Wruble helped to start the Women’s March on Washington, DC, in 2017, she told the New York Times in 2018 that she was pushed out of the group because she is Jewish, shortly after accused antisemite Linda Sarsour joined the team. WATCH — Speaker Johnson After Trump Win: Grateful to Save America for Thanksgiving: “Honestly, my first reaction was ‘You know what, America?’ Pardon my French, but fuck it,” Wruble said on the “Daily” last week of Trump’s second win. “If that’s how you feel about it, have it, America. You voted for this. Buckle up. It’s going to get bad.” While the Women’s March group has scheduled a “People’s March” on Washington, DC, for January 18, the turnout is not expected to match the original 2017 march. “I don’t know any organizer from the original Women’s March that thinks marching right now is a good idea,” Wruble said. According to Middleton, who is still a higher-up within the Women’s March, “the exhaustion is real” among anti-Trump Resistance activists who have now seen him elected twice.
Aluminum Alloy Load Binders Market Outlook and Future Projections for 2030New funding goes to groundbreaking products that pour plant fibers into our favorite foods to reduce the toxic impact of sugar and lower the incidence of metabolic disorders linked to the modern processed diet SACRAMENTO, Calif. , Dec. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- One Bio , a pioneering biotechnology company committed to revolutionizing nutrition to empower people to live better, longer, has raised $27 million in Series A funding led by Alpha Edison and joined by new investors including Leaps by Bayer, Mitsui E12, Morado, ReMY, DSM-Ferminich, and Better – alongside existing investors including iSelect, Skyview Life Sciences, Collaborative and Acre. This catalytic investment round energized a unique global mix of strategic and institutional investors and is a testament to investor belief in One Bio's potential to reshape how much (and how often) the world consumes fiber, and to combat the disease epidemic linked to the modern processed diet by transforming your favorite foods into engines of good health while helping all of us reduce and eliminate the harm of sugar. One Bio has innovated a technological process that releases anti-inflammatory short chain fibers from thousands of plants, making them undetectable, more bioactive and uniquely high dose. This novel process unlocks fibers from seeds, nuts, fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains. People today consume 10X more sugar than they did 200 years ago and 90% less fiber than we evolved to. Consequently, 95% of people are running a dramatic fiber deficiency that starves the microbiome while denying our bodies of core functions for healthspan. The result is skyrocketing rates of inflammatory disease including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, cancer and autoimmunity. One Bio promises a meaningfully positive shift in these alarming public health outcomes by not only eliminating traditional barriers to fiber consumption - like taste, texture, and appearance - but also reframing naturally-derived fiber as an essential but *undetectable* ingredient in our favorite foods and beverages. As humans evolved, our beneficial gut microbes co-evolved to unlock and consume the sugars bound in the rich diversity of fibers present in plant foods to produce molecules we need to provide core functions including balancing our blood glucose, regulating mood & energy, and making us feel satiated. But modern diets composed of processed foods have isolated the sugars and discarded the fibers. One Bio short chain fibers can even provide an offramp to reduce the population's reliance on GLP-1s to treat chronic metabolic diseases: increasing consumption of high-fiber foods can prevent such diseases in the first place. "Modern food processing techniques strip plant fibers from our foods and starve the microbiome of the nutrients it needs to make us healthy. One Bio works to help us restore core functionality to our diet like blood glucose regulation and mood & energy balance. We aim to avoid and reverse the negative impact of today's processed food diet which accounts for 70% of calories consumed. We have the opportunity to offer industry and people an exponentially better set of choices than those on shelves today," said Matt Barnard , Co-founder and CEO of One Bio . " One Bio puts thriving microbiomes to work delivering longevity, aiding digestion and providing the fuel we need to maximize health," he added. "Faced with endless shelves of processed and packaged foods, and surrounded by chronic diseases, consumers are rapidly awakening to the power of the gut microbiome. An avalanche of signals points to a large pool of latent demand. This is One Bio's market," added Nate Redmond of Alpha Edison . " One Bio enables their partners to deliver functional products that reshape global health and unlock growth. We are thrilled to be working with Matt and the talented, passionate leaders who are building a category leading platform company. For more information about One Bio , please visit one.bio . About One Bio : One Bio is a biotechnology company returning healthspan to our diet by reintroducing active plant fibers to our food and reshaping how we approach health and nutrition in everyday products. Using their cutting-edge technology, One Bio has demonstrated its ability to solve malnutrition in the modern diet. The company specializes in releasing short chain fibers from plants, while making them easily consumable and highly effective to invigorate our microbiome and immune system. Through its innovative solutions and strategic partnerships, One Bio aims to eradicate inflammatory disease and help people thrive.
