Tom Crews – Thank you, Mayor. I’ll be brief. This is really more, hopefully for more of a

public informational piece. April 15 is just around the corner, and for those of you who

don’t know, if you can’t file your tax return, please file the extension. The biggest

penalties are the failure to file your tax returns. It can be five percent of the balance due

for five months. So, you want to make sure you get the extensions filed. It’s something you

can absolutely do yourself. Further on than to that, is just to say that if you do file the

extension, if you miss October 15, even if you miss it by one day, it’s like the extension

didn’t happen at all. You’re automatically hit with 25 percent of the balance due that

existed.

So, we want to make sure that we get those extensions filed. We still have time to file the

corporate extensions and the individual, and both of these are something you can do

yourself for free. A lot of it is on the IRS website. I also want to make sure that people

know that the 15th is also when the Galveston County Appraisal District renditions for

business personal property are due. So, we want to make sure we get those done, and it

also ties back to the automobiles. If we’re looking for ways to save money, these are

things that we definitely don’t want to miss and things that we can do for free. I hope this

helps. Thanks.
