I did not understand item number 16: Write down your car's mileage on Jan. 1. Can you explain how this will save me money? It was a great article. -- Kristi, email Dear Kristi: Writing down your car's mileage forces you to focus on how many miles you have put on it, perhaps many of them mindlessly. The more you think about it, the more often you'll find yourself thinking of ways to not run out for a minor errand. And next January, when you calculate how many miles you've driven in 2013, you'll start thinking of even more ways to drive fewer miles to help make your car last longer. Staying focused and paying attention gives us the freedom to make changes. Dear Mary: The other day, I was filing copies of my latest tax return when I noticed that I had made a mistake adding up some deductions. When I told my brother, he warned me that I'd have a higher risk of being audited, so now I'm in a panic. Is there any way to fix the goof and avoid hefty penalties? -David, email Dear David: Relax, you have nothing to worry about.

Nielsen named to committees California Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) recommended and the Rules Committee unanimously confirmed Sen. Jim Nielsen (R-Gerber) to serve as vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Governmental Organization and as a member of the Senate Committees on Health, Insurance and Veterans Affairs. A strong advocate for the needs of California veterans, Nielsen will be a forceful voice for the men and women in uniform and for the completion of the veterans' homes in Redding and Fresno. "Our veterans serve our country with integrity and pride; we must give them the support they have earned through their service," said Nielsen. On the Senate Committee on Health, Nielsen will fight to protect the quality of California's healthcare system as the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare" continues. Nielsen, along with fellow committee members, will review and examine the ramifications of this vast increase in federal government control over our healthcare. "California's spending problems have not been erased by recent tax increases and the Legislature must be vigilant in guarding its finances when dealing with the ramifications of Obamacare," said Nielsen. These high level committee assignments follow Nielsen's appointment as Caucus Whip in the Republican Leadership on Tuesday. Senator Nielsen was sworn-in as State Senator to represent California's 4th Senate District on January 10, 2013 after a special run-off election to complete the senate term of newly elected U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa. IRS tips to help taxpayers with Jan. 30 season opening The IRS will begin processing most individual income tax returns on Jan. 30 after updating forms and completing programming and testing of its processing systems. The IRS anticipated many of the tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), but the final law requires some changes before the IRS can begin accepting tax returns. The IRS will not process paper or electronic tax returns before the Jan. 30 opening date, so there is no advantage to filing on paper before then. Using efile is the best way to file an accurate tax return, and using e-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get a refund. Many major software providers are accepting tax returns in advance of the Jan. 30 processing date. These software providers will hold onto the returns and then electronically submit them after the IRS systems open. If you use commercial software, check with your provider for specific instructions about when they will accept your return. Software companies and tax professionals send returns to the IRS, but the timing of the refunds is determined by IRS processing, which starts Jan. 30. After the IRS starts processing returns, it expects to process refunds within the usual timeframes. Last year, the IRS issued more than nine out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days, and it expects the same results in 2013. Even though the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, some tax returns will require additional review and take longer. To help protect against refund fraud, the IRS has put in place stronger security filters this filing season. After taxpayers file a return, they can track the status of the refund with the "Where's My Refund?" tool available on the IRS.gov website. New this year, instead of an estimated date, Where's My Refund? will give people an actual personalized refund date after the IRS processes the tax return and approves the refund. "Where's My Refund?" will be available for use after the IRS starts processing tax returns on Jan. 30. Here are some tips for using "Where's My Refund?" after it's available on Jan. 30: • Initial information will generally be available within 24 hours after the IRS receives the taxpayer's e-filed return or four weeks after mailing a paper return. • The system updates every 24 hours, usually overnight. There's no need to check more than once a day. • "Where's My Refund?" provides the most accurate and complete information that the IRS has about the refund, so there is no need to call the IRS unless the web tool says to do so. • To use the "Where's My Refund?" tool, taxpayers need to have a copy of their tax return for reference. Taxpayers will need their social security number, filing status and the exact dollar amount of the refund they are expecting.
