Confusion is one of the words that comes to mind for some Americans when it comes to the tax penalty if they fail to obtain health insurance coverage by 2014. H&R Block, Iola, is hoping to rid individuals and business owners of the confusion by hosting an open seminar on Jan. 9.
In a tax survey by the Tax Institute at H&R Block, 77 percent of respondents were unaware of the importance their 2012 tax return has in the reform.
“The seminar will provide information about the Affordable Care Act by explaining which resources are available to the individual and business owners that will be affected by taxes,” H&R Block franchise owner Melody Snesrud said.
The seminar will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Community Building at Riverside Park. H&R Block agents will go over the tax implications of the Affordable Care Act during the seminar. Sheldon Weisgrau, director of the health reform resource project at Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved, will talk about the Affordable Care Act Marketplace.
The seminar will provide ample time for people to ask questions.
“We would like to stress that this seminar is for information purposes and individuals should attend to get more knowledge,” Snesrud said. “If they are unable to attend the seminar they are able to make appointments at the office.”
For those individuals who have specific questions and would like a one-on-one session, Snesrud suggests they bring a copy of their previous tax return and their projected income for 2014.
For more information on the seminar or to schedule a one-on-one appointment with an agent contact 620-365-2141.
