As 2014 draws near to its end, I have been doing what I can to make sure that all my financial records are in order. Part of that means making sure all my documents I will need for preparing my family’s taxes next April are all in one place! (Right now, that means all my receipts are thrown into a storage box in the basement -- LOL.) If you do your own taxes or take care of your famly’s taxes, you might be worried about how The Affordable Care Act (ACA) / Obamacare will affect your taxes. Because The Affordable Care Act is designed to make sure that everyone has health insurance, 2014 is Continue reading...
