A worthwhile cause! 11-1- 3. -- IRS debunks tax myth There's just one problem with some of the "tax wisdom" you may hear each filing season--it- s dead wrong, according to the Internal Revenue Service. For example, some people claim that early filers are more likely to be audited, but, in fact, when you file has no effect on your tax returns chances for being audited. IRS computers score every return based on the various entries and their relationship to one another, these scores are the primary means of selecting returns for examination. Programmers develop the formulas for this system before the tax year starts and apply them to all returns that year. A return filed in February gets the same score as it would get if filed in June. Last year, less than half of the returns had the name label from the filer's tax package attached. In some cases, this may have resulted from a mistaken belief that the label is linked to audit selection. In fact, the label has no secret codes the tax instructions even have an illustration explaining all the label's contents, use of the label helps reduce the chance for error and cuts the processing cost.

Families are important to the g of each of us, and to the strength of society. They are the best place for us to find the human essentials of caring, support and a sense of purpose. What are the characteristics of families that are succeeding in providing these essentials? Each family is unique and no one set of "rules" will work in every family, but there are some fundamentals strong families have in common: Appreciation: Perhaps one of the greatest needs we have is the need to feel appreciated for who we are and what we try to do.
