Tax Time Is Coming

January is the start of tax season. No need to fear because United Way offers free tax preparation help for anyone making less than $62,000 per year. Even if you didn’t make much money this past year, you can still qualify for tax credits and deductions which can add up to a significant refund.
The key to a smooth tax process is preparation. Make sure that any employer you worked for in 2015 has your current address so you can get all of your W-2s. Keep the records of your childcare and employment related expenses. If you can find it, bring your tax return from last year.

United Way has 24 different locations around King County to serve you. Go to uwkc.org/taxhelp to find the site nearest you and get a full list of what you should bring.

Tenant Tips and Rent Smart Workshop 11/12/15

While it’s great to have a landlord you can chat with, make sure that all of your communication about your rent, repairs or anything else to do with your unit is in writing. It is a best practice to document all your communications with your landlord in writing, and get proof that they were sent and received. You can do this by sending important documents by certified mail or getting a written receipt when you pay your rent.

Without written documentation, every repair request or agreement between you and your landlord will come down to your word against theirs. In many places in the law, the tenant is actually not allowed a remedy until the request has been put in writing and sent to the landlord. A thorough paper trail will ensure that you’ll have the proof you need to protect yourself if you end up needing to fight a disputed bill or take your landlord to Small Claims Court.


For more information on how to protect your rights as a tenant and have a positive relationship with your landlord, come to the Rent Smart Workshop on Tuesday, November 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Seattle Public Library Southwest Branch, located at 9010 35th Ave SW. To RSVP, call 206-694-6748 or email tenantwa@solid-ground.org.

Flu Vaccine 10/1/15

This year’s flu vaccine is now available. Doctors recommend that all people over the age of 6 months old get a vaccine. Influenza or the flu is a disease that primarily affects the airway and lungs. It can lead to pneumonia or other serious complications, particularly for pregnant women, children under the age of 2, people with chronic illnesses like asthma or diabetes and people with compromised immune systems. If you live with or care for someone that is in any of these categories, it is important for you to get a flu shot as well.

The composition of the flu shot changes each year because different variations of the virus are present. You must get vaccinated every year to stay protected. Most insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, cover flu vaccines. If you do not have insurance, contact the Community Health Access program at 1-800-756-5437. This is a free, confidential program that provides information about many different health services in King County. This service will help you find a low cost flu shot near you.

Flu shots are available at most pharmacies and doctors’ offices. It takes about two weeks for your body to develop resistance to the flu after getting the shot so it’s important to get it as soon as possible. Talk to your healthcare provider for more information about influenza and this vaccine.
