This is your Northwest report for Wednesday, February 15 I’m David Sparks and I don't know about you, but when it comes to doing a tax return I am completely in the blind. In the past 20 years I've turned all my records over to my accountant, he does the taxes and I get a huge bill. I've learned about an alternative… An operation that helps you with your taxes without charging. It is called a vitasite according to extension family economics expert, Dr. JoAnn Bankston and don't let the term site lead you to believe that you have to go on some website. There are actually real people there to help you. “Vitasites are volunteer income tax assistance sites. They are manned by volunteers who were trained by the IRS.” If you would like to find a Vitasite near you the number is 1– 800 – 906 – 9887.

Trudeau then met with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. the dairy industry has been growing increasingly worried in recent months over Canadian trade barriers to US milk.
