Taxpayers have 3 extra days to file
News from the Internal Revenue Service
Taxpayers will have until Tuesday, April 18, 2017 to file their 2016 returns and pay any taxes due. That’s because of the combined impact of the weekend and a holiday in the District of Columbia. The customary April 15 deadline falls on Saturday this year, which would normally give taxpayers until at least the following Monday. But Emancipation Day, a Washington D.C. holiday, is observed on Monday, April 17 giving taxpayers nationwide an additional day. By law, D.C. holidays impact tax deadlines for everyone in the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Monday, Oct. 16, 2017 to file.
Free e-parenting class offered through email
From MSU News Service
BOZEMAN – Montana State University Extension has partnered with University of Wisconsin-Extension to deliver eParenting High-Tech Kids, a free parenting course that provides ideas on using digital media to stay close to children and strengthen family relationships.
Beginning in mid-January and running through mid-June, weekly emails will describe short, practical and positive tips on parenting and using digital media with children. The emails will contain links to resources for parents.
One Montana parent who participated in the program last year said that the program “helped me realize that I am not the only parent having these issues with my children. It offers strategies that can get you back on track with teaching and helping your child develop into an adult.”
