REALTORS: What is your FORECAST for this summer’s housing market?

My dear friend Mona Atkinson posted this video on FaceBook today with the caption,

“I guarantee you will be crying before this is over.”

Mona was 100% correct & I felt the need to share this amazing gift

with my entire Kimberanna.com family.

Thank you Mona for bringing this amazing footage into my life,

it has touched me & given me renewed hope.

Watching a child that had to overcome so much, create such beauty is just breath taking.

That’s right…today is the day, April 15th 2010 has finally arrived!

Most Americans have already filed there taxes but many who actually owe money have taken the, “I’m not giving them my money until the last possible minute,” attitude and waited until today to post their tax returns. (I believe my dad may have coined this phrase or at least made it popular, lol.)

Just in case you are one of these “last minute” people, here are some helpful tips to make today a little less stressful:

IRS TAX TIP 2010-69 -> Click here to go to IRS.GOV

If you can’t meet the April deadline to file your tax return, you can get an automatic six month extension of time to file from the IRS.

Here are seven things you need to know about filing an extension:

1. Extra time to file An extension will give you extra time to get your paperwork to the IRS, but it does not extend the time you have to pay any tax due. You will owe interest on any amount not paid by the April 15 deadline, plus a late payment penalty if you have not paid at least 90 percent of your total tax by that date.
2. File on time even if you can’t pay If your return is completed but you are unable to pay the full amount of tax due, do not request an extension. File your return on time and pay as much as you can. The IRS will send you a bill or notice for the balance due.To apply online for a payment agreement, go to IRS.gov and click “Online Payment Agreement Application” at the left side of the home page under Online Services. If you are unable to make payments, call the IRS at 800-829-1040 to discuss your options.
3. Form to file Request an extension to file by submitting Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return to the IRS by April 15, 2010, or make an extension-related electronic credit card payment. For more information about extension-related credit card payments, see Form 4868.
4. E-file extension You can e-file an extension request using tax preparation software with your own computer or by going to a tax preparer who has the software. The IRS will acknowledge receipt of the extension request if you file by computer.
5. Traditional Free File and Free File Fillable Forms You can use both Free File options to file an extension. Access the Free File page at IRS.gov.
6. Electronic funds withdrawal If you ask for an extension via computer, you can also choose to pay any expected balance due by authorizing an electronic funds withdrawal from a checking or savings account. You will need the appropriate bank routing and account numbers.For information about these and other methods of payment, visit IRS.gov or call 800-TAX-1040 (800-829-1040).
7. How to get formsForm 4868 is available for download at IRS.gov or may be ordered by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).You can also obtain the form at your local IRS office. Telephone requests normally take 10 days to fill.

“Ring, Ring…Hello?”

“Girl, have you been on FaceBook? Did you see what that girl wrote on his wall???”

“He friended how many girls in the last 30 minutes??? This is it…I’m calling him right now.”

<CLICK> You hang up the phone. As you begin to speed dial his number you wonder exactly what are you going to say to him? Luckily the blood pumping through your pounding temples & burning cheeks are making you feel no fear when he answers after the 1st ring.

“Hello…” he has no clue what he is in for. You almost feel sorry for him when you hear how sweet his voice sounds when he answers. That blend of excitement & puppy love in his voice are charming but nothing will erase the sound of your best girlfriend telling you & all your other girlfriends about what he just did to you on FaceBook!

“I can’t believe you friended all those girls today! Don’t you work or have a life…all you have to do is sit around & friend girls all day? Do you think it’s right for some girl to say she “can’t wait to have some alone time w/you,” right on your wall?

“Darling, those are my cousins & high school friends…it’s nothing everyone knows about you & me baby,” he can almost see a sliver of light. He just may make it through this if he plays his cards right.

“IF EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT US…THEN WHY HAVEN”T YOU CHANGED YOUR FACEBOOK STATUS?”

John Doe hangs his head because he knew that he’d been beat. There was simply no way he could get himself out of this corner tonight without a whole lot of work.  She was NOT in the mood to listen to his excuse.

HELP US FINISH THIS STORY…life the NEW HIT SERIES Marriage Ref, YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Who’s side are you one?

1.) SHOULD John Doe have changed his FB status from SINGLE to IN A RELATIONSHIP?

2.) If so…when?

3.) Why does it matter?

*Giggles…this a problem many of my friends are going through RIGHT NOW! My point of view is that if people are together they are. A piece of paper, nor a FB status will prevent a man from cheating if he wants to. It’s the commitment & moral value that a man has deep in his heart that determine that. IF you trust the person you are with, you won’t have to worry about what a FB status may say. Your partners action & reaction to the world around him/her will prove where his/her interest lie.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF…DEMAND RESPECT…EARN RESPECT BY GIVING IT

So… we just passed a health care plan written by a committee

whose chairman said he didn’t understand it,

passed by a Congress that exempts themselves from it,

signed by a president who smokes,

with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes,

all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,

and financed by a country that’s broke?????

(Thx Perry’s & Jeff Russell for this post….love it!)

…and they all lived happily ever after?!?
