Saturday, May 4 at 12:30-2:30PM

Then after they've dried, take them with you to hide for someone else to find! What a great way to make someone smile! We'll tell you what to write for instructions on the backs of the rocks so that people can share ones that they have found can re-hide them if they'd like to. Put on your craft pants, gather up some rocks and meet us here! Kids and adults are welcome, the more the merrier! This is a totally free event, just bring some rocks. Drop in anytime from 1-3! Check out Bucksport Rocks on FB for some local inspiration!

1. IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig’s message to taxpayers: Thank you for filing
As the tax filing deadline approaches on April 15, I’d like to thank taxpayers for taking the time to file and pay their taxes. Our nation’s tax system is built around the concept of voluntary tax compliance, meaning citizens comply with their civic duty each year by preparing and filing their taxes – without direct government intervention.
2. Important message for your employees: Even if you can’t pay, file tax returns on time
The IRS advises that even if you can’t pay, you should file your taxes on time. Taxpayers who do not file returns timely and do not pay the amount owed with their return will see their tax debt grow due to penalties and interest.
4. Latest information on the 199A qualified business income deduction
Owners of businesses operated through sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, trusts and estates may be eligible to deduct up to 20 percent of their qualified business income, plus 20 percent of qualified real estate investment trust dividends and qualified publicly traded partnership income. Those eligible can claim it for the first time on their 2018 federal income tax returns filed in 2019.
IRS Fact Sheet
5. Revised EIN application process to enhance security begins May 13
As part of an ongoing IRS security review, only individuals with tax identification numbers may request an Employer Identification Number (EIN) as the “responsible party” on the application. This goes into effect May 13, 2019. The change will prohibit entities from using their own EINs to obtain additional EINs.
