CONSUMERS ARE BECOMING MORE TECH SAVVY AND TAX PREP SOFTWARE IS GETTING MORE USER-FRIENDLY, MAKING THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO GO ONLINE. THERE ARE NO COMPLICATED FORMS, NO MAJOR MATH CALCULATIONS; IT'S AS EASY AS ANSWERING THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS THE PROGRAM ASKS YOU. ONCE YOU'VE FILED ELECTRONICALLY, YOU CAN TRACK THE STATUS OF YOUR REFUND, WHICH COMES FASTER THAN IF YOU FILE BY SNAIL MAIL. IF YOUR RETURN IS BASIC AND YOU EARN AN ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME OF LESS THAN $ 57,000, YOU CAN FILE ONLINE FOR FREE AT IRS.GOV . IF IT'S MORE COMPLICATED, INTUITS TURBO TAX COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR HOME AND SMALL BUSINESS. IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE PROGRAM, BUT OFFERS GREAT DATA-IMPORT FUNCTIONS. H&R BLOCK AT HOME OFFERS A BEST OF BOTH SERVICE, ONLINE ACCESS TO A TAX PROFESSIONAL AS OFTEN AS YOU NEED WHILE FILLING OUT THOSE FORMS. FOR A FEE, OF COURSE. TAXACT IS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THE BUDGET ALTERNATIVE. IT DOESN'T OFFER A LOT OF SUPPORT, NOT THE GREATEST AT DATA IMPORT, BUT FOR THE PRICE, IT GETS THE JOB DONE. AND HERES A TIP: ALL THESE SERVICES LET YOU BEGIN A RETURN WITHOUT EVER ENTERING YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO, SO YOU CAN TRY BEFORE YOU BUY. AND REMEMBER, THE IRS WILL NEVER TRY TO CONTACT YOU VIA E-MAIL, SO IF YOU GET AN EMAIL ABOUT YOUR TAXES, IT'S PROBABLY A SCAM. DON'T FORGET..APRIL 15TH IS THE DEADLINE.

Return to Story IndexSKIN CANCER
With all the warnings about the dangers of too much sun exposure and tanning beds, you would think there would be fewer skin cancer cases... But according to recent articles in the March issue of Archives of Dermatology, the number of cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are disturbingly high. Two different research papers pointed to studies that showed the prevalence of a history of skin cancer is far higher than that of any other cancer in the U.S. And that the number of these skin cancer cases exceeds that of all other cancers diagnosed since 1975. Researchers also found non-melanoma skin cancer is about five times higher than that of breast or prostate cancer. According to the article, non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common malignant disease in the United States. Although these skin cancers are not as serious as melanoma, which causes more deaths, experts say they still can still can have significant impact on a patient as well as treatment costs. The researchers noted that education programs about skin cancer and sun protection have mainly been disappointing in slowing skin cancer rates and that continued research and treatment programs are critical. For today's Health Minute, I'm Chuck Roberts. HEALTH EXPERTS RECOMMEND APPLYING SUNSCREEN LIBERALLY AND OFTEN. ALSO, WEAR HATS AND OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN OUT IN THE SUN. AND, AVOID SUN EXPOSURE WHEN THE SUN'S RAYS ARE THE STRONGEST -- BETWEEN TEN A-M AND THREE P-M. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON SKIN CANCER GO TO SKIN-CANCER-DOT-ORG.

(SND: BOUNTY HUNTER) TURN YOURSELF IN AT THE MOVIES WITH GERARD BUTLER AS "THE BOUNTY HUNTER" WHO'S LATEST BAIL-JUMPING FUGITIVE HAPPENS TO BE HIS EX-WIFE - PLAYED BY JENNIFER ANISTON. ANISTON says: "it's saucy it's sexy, it's frisky it's adventurous// BUTLER says: "it's something you can identify with if you've ever been in relationships, especially broken up in relationships, how much you love to get at each other you know?" Jennifer 13:04:53 "more action than ive done in a film, a lot of running ive covered a lot of this city in manolo blaniks." BUTLER LIKED SHOWING OFF HIS MULTI-TASKING TOO - LIKE DOING MATH ON THE FLY. BUTLER says: "it's 50% action and 50% comedy and I was going to say with a bit of romance thrown in but I'm not sure how that works with the 100% you know? so it's 120% movie, with a bit of thriller and drama... it's a 147% movie. MEANWHILE THE TWO FOUND THEY WERE A MATCH MADE IN HOLLYWOOD HEAVEN... ANISTON says: "we actually met about a year before and met over the phone, we spoke for like over an hour." BUTLER says: "we always had great chemistry on and off screen but i think you really see that in the movie how fun that couple are together." HIS CHARACTER HAS A CERTAIN WAY WITH WOMEN, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO REAL LIFE ROMANCE, BUTLER LEAVES THE HANDCUFFS AT HOME... BUTLER says: "i'm probably more romantic than him, he's not that romantic I mean I love candles anyway. I'm one for lighting some candles but I dont think I dont think - actually my makeup artist (points across the room) is an ex-girlfriend of mine she'll probably tell you that I'm not romantic at all but (laughs)... " BUTLER says: "ill tell you what normally happens is girls go you know what you make me nuts but you're alright as a friend. I think that's what you said isn't it gina? (says across the room)" BOUNTY HUNTER IS IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY.
