This year, you have a few extra days to make contributions to your traditional Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRA’s). That’s because Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia, will be observed on Friday, April 15, 2011, which moves the due date for filing your tax return and making contributions to your 2010 IRA to Monday, April 18, 2011.

Popular local awareness campaign,  “DNT TXT N DRV” 2011 High School Tour confirms Bedford High School as next stop on April 5th.

This Friday, April 1st,  Starr Insurance Agency along with Monroe High School are working on a very important and relevant campaign called “Light It Up Blue”. This campaign is a national effort to increase awareness about April 2nd being Autism Awareness Day.

The website, irs.gov can be a very useful tool for individuals and business owners. Before you file your taxes this year be sure to look into this site to make sure you have done them correctly and equally important you have all the deductions you deserve! Keep in mind also that your 10% IRA early withdrawal fee portion can be reduced up to the amount of your qualifying medical and dental expense!
