The next time you rush out the door in the morning without something to eat, consider this: Skipping breakfast can set you up for overeating later in the day. A healthy a.m. meal, on the other hand, can give you energy, satisfy your appetite, and set the stage for smart decisions all day long.
File your taxes manually or electronically. After you have finished your tax return, you can file your taxes in one of two ways: by mail or by selecting the e-file feature. The filing date is usually April 15th. If you owe any money, you may need to file your taxes and send in your owed taxes to separate locations.
As a married couple, you probably share almost everything. But is that such a good idea when it comes to filing taxes? Most couples file their return jointly, combining incomes and sharing deductions. This filing season, same-sex married couples also will decide whether to file one federal 1040 or two forms as married filing separately. The trend to file jointly will probably continue, encouraged in large part by tax-law changes during the past few years to ease the marriage penalty.
