South Coast Happenings Morning Show
on 1480 AM WSAR!
Join host Robin Miranda each week as she highlights upcoming events happening in the South Coast.
This weeks guest is Maria Gomes, Master Tax Advisor, from H&R Block. Don't worry, Maria won't bore you with boring tax stuff. She wants to tell you how to legally claim more of your money back.
Did you lose items in the 2010 Flood that your insurance didn't cover? Do you have a teenager entering the work force and you're not sure what forms they should complete so they don't get 1099'd? Do you do your own taxes and pay the full Health Insurance Penalty, not realizing you may not have to? Maria will answer these questions and more Saturday, March 19th from 7:00 am to 8:00 on 1480 am WSAR.
Call in with your questions, comments or stories to share with local listeners... 508-673-1480.
