Don’t forget to file your taxes by Monday, April 18th
Posted by Walnut Crossings on 1:50 PM
Before you rush to file your taxes today, remember that you actually have three more days to get your forms turned in to the tax man.
Instead of being due on April 15, which is typically the filing deadline, your taxes are due Mon., April 18 this year.
The three bonus days come thanks to Emancipation Day, a little-known Washington, D.C., holiday that celebrates the freeing of slaves in the district.
Emancipation Day falls on Sat., April 16, but it is observed in D.C. on Fri., April 15. That prompted the IRS to extend the tax filing deadline to April 18 this year. Under the tax code, filing deadlines can't fall on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays.

Pittsburgh Named America's Most Livable City
Posted by Walnut Crossings on 10:00 AM
Just in case anyone didn't believe it before, more proof that Pittsburgh is the best place to live!
Each year Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business attracts some of the brightest master's degree candidates in the country. But the admissions staff occasionally has to sway prospective students with their choice of top schools who wonder why they should relocate to Pittsburgh, Pa.
"Pittsburgh has a really great cultural scene. We have a great ballet and a great symphony that travels the world and performs to packed houses, and there's a restaurant scene that's much more diverse than it ever was when I was growing up," says Wendy Hermann, director of student services for master's programs and a Pittsburgh native. "And it's an easier sell, now that the Steelers and Penguins won their respective titles."
