Austin in April
April is a glorious month for new leaves, flowers and . . . taxes.
Did you know that parents are given a dependent care tax credit - a percentage of adjusted gross income of child-care expenses? As long as you and your spouse both work, after-school programs and summer day camps are tax deductible. Please talk with a licensed tax professional for help with your 2014 federal income taxes. More information here: IRS Child Care Credit
This Friday, please join us for our Steiner Ranch Art Awards Ceremony at 3:45pm-5pm. We will be celebrating the winners of our "Why I Love Living in Steiner Ranch" Art Contest. Sponsored by Steiner Ranch Realty Group and IQuest, we have chosen the grand prize winner and runner ups. Prizes will be given along with photographs with student artists.
Please note, IQuest Classes will be out of session April 3rd.
