The 4th District Monterey County supervisor told The Pine Cone last week she does not have a Bachelor of Arts in international economics from MIIS, despite having promoted the accomplishment in campaign materials over the last dozen years, including in 2008 and 2012, when she was elected and reelected. Parker maintains she didn’t intend to mislead voters but believed she had completed all the requirements in the late 1970s to earn a diploma. However, in 1999 — five years before she ran for supervisor — she filed a candidate statement with the county elections office in her bid for trustee of Monterey Peninsula College. Under the heading “Education and Qualifications,” Parker didn’t include anything about having attended MIIS, much less having a degree from the school. “As a former Monterey Peninsula College student, founder and sole proprietor of a small business, and current director of community relations at Planned Parenthood, I have learned how to work with and for others,” the then 46-year-old Parker wrote on her state-

The amount of tax withheld is based the toxic black mold that has rendered homes unusable. would be conducted in the library and the offices. on the number of withholding allowances an employee claims. Employees should adjust their withholding allowances when major life changes occur (e.g., change in household income, having a baby or buying a house); more allowances mean that less is withheld from your paycheck and take-home pay is higher. Form W-2 is prepared by employers at the end of the year and reports wages paid and taxes withheld for the year so employees can use the information to file their tax returns. Employers mail Form W-2 in late January or provide them online. W-2 information also is sent to the IRS and the Social Security Administration. Q. Which 1040 federal income tax form do I use? A. There are three versions of Form 1040: 1040EZ, 1040A and Form 1040. Form 1040EZ is for the least complex individual tax situations and Form 1040 is for the most complex. Form 1040EZ may be used by taxpayers with no dependents, no itemized tax deductions, income from wages and unemployment compensation, and $1,500 or less in interest income. The only tax credit that can be claimed on Form 1040EZ is the Earned Income TTaax Credit. Form 1040A accommodates dependent exemptions, pension income, education credits and premium tax credit reconciliation. Form 1040, “the long form,” may be used for any income level, self-employment income and all other types of income, itemized deductions and all personal credits. .Q When are federal tax reture ns due? A. The deadline for filing federal individual tax returns is typically April 15. In 2016, federal tax returns for most taxpayers will be due the to due 18 April 18 due to the observance of Emancipation Day. For taxpayers in Maine and Massachusetts, federal returns will be due April 19 due to the observance of Patriot’s Day. This is also the deadline to request an automatic six-month extension to file, generally allowing taxpayers until October 15 to submit a return without a late-filing penalty. The six-month extension deadline is October 17 this year because October 15 is a Saturday. To avoid late payment penalties and interest, any taxes owed must be paid by the April deadline. Q. What do I do if I forgot to claim a tax benefit or omitted income? A. An amended tax return can be filed any time of year to claim overlooked credits and deductions, include omitted income and correct the number of dependents claimed. TToo claim a refund, the original or amended return must generally be filed three years from the original due date of the return. For example, an amended return for tax year 2012 must generally be filed by April 18, 2016. Q. Which is the better filing method – DIY or with a tax professional? A. Do-it-yourself software and online tax programs select the appropriate forms and use everyday language, making tax law easier to understand. Howeverr,, the assistance from a qualified tax professional can help put taxpayers of all income levels at ease and does not require any understanding of taxes. Ultimately, it is the taxpayer’s comfort level and personal preference that determine the best method.

IS IT possible to think you graduated from college when you actually didn’t? The answer is obviously, “No” — and we’re not saying so because we think it’s axiomatic that anyone who never participated in a cap-and-gown graduation or received a diploma would have to be aware of it. Indeed, it’s possible to have been awarded a degree without the ceremony or even the piece of paper. What isn’t possible — especially for a smart person like 4th District Monterey County Supervisor Jane Parker — is to overlook the fact that you never completed the qualifications for something you strove for, spent a lot of time and money on, and literally counted on to open doors for your future success. Getting a bachelor’s degree from a impressive place like MIIS in the equally impressive field of international economics is a big deal, and not quite having finished it is something that, while you might not think about it every day, would probably never be far from your mind the rest of your life. It’s simply not something you could be mistaken about. That’s reason No. 1 we think Parker’s oft repeated claim that she had a bachelor’s degree from MIIS was a plain-and-simple falsehood. But there’s more. If you were an important public official who really believed you had a degree from a prestigious school, would you immediately backtrack from that claim if you received a call from the school saying you didn’t? If the school called and said, “You never finished the requirements,” and you were sure you had, would you immediately go on Facebook to admit that you didn’t have the degree? Hardly. The first thing you would do is start digging through your old transcripts and correspondence from the school, and ask the school to review your academic she didn’t mention it when filing for her can- record — things that would take some time, especially almost 40 years after the didacy at the county election office.
