ALL BULLDOG

English teacher, Brian Cook; KAY sponsor, Mandy Cook, Librarian, Rachel Bena; Junior High Basketball Coach, Brian Kracht: and Choir Director, Kayn Milholland...do you know what these individuals have in common? They shared their talents Friday and Saturday night at MCAC's Musical Revue. It was impressive but my favorite performance came from our very own Elena Kramer, a junior at MJSHS. (Picture Below) She rocked her solo and might have gotten the loudest ovation of anyone. Thanks to all of you for leading by sharing your talents and inspiring the rest of us to do the same!

Do you have a job? If so, you should be receiving a W-2 by the end of the month. If there is withholding in box 2 you should file income tax.

While most students are claimed by their parents, they can still file taxes to get back the Federal and State tax withholding.

RSVP of NE Kansas in cooperation with K-State Research and Extension in Marshall County provides free income tax assistance for families that make $60,000 or less. All students qualify for this free tax preparation service.

Parents, if your child takes college classes that you paid for, make sure you have them get you a copy of the 1098-T. This form can be found on the Highland Self Service account under the finance category. This form will allow your tax preparer to access the lifetime learning credit when preparing your tax return. This credit can reduce the taxes owed or increase your refund. Make sure you take advantage of this tax credit.

Where to receive this free tax preparation service? Contact Susie Latta at the Marshall County Extension office at 785-562-3531 or slatta@ksu.edu or Jenny Mathewson at 785-562-2154 or jmrsvpneks@bluevalley.net
