By Kemberley Washington, CPA, Bankrate.com The IRS Direct File program, which lets taxpayers file their federal income tax return directly with the IRS for free, is doubling its reach to 24 states for the 2025 tax season, up from 12 states in 2024, the program’s pilot year. The Direct File program will also accept more types of tax situations for the 2025 tax season. While taxpayers who used the system in 2024 could claim a handful of tax credits, including the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit , that list is expanding in 2025 to include the child and dependent care credit , among others. An estimated 30 million taxpayers will qualify for the Direct File program in 2025, the IRS says. More than 140,000 taxpayers filed their federal tax returns through the Direct File program in 2024. About 90% of users said their experience was excellent or above average, according to a survey of about 11,000 Direct File users in 2024, conducted by the General Services Administration. “We’re excited about the improvements to Direct File and the millions more taxpayers who will be eligible to use the service this year,” said Danny Werfel, the IRS commissioner, in a statement. “Our goal is to improve the experience of tax filing itself and help taxpayers meet their obligations quickly and easily.” The IRS says that taxpayers can use Direct File when the 2025 tax season kicks off in January, and it will be available until Oct. 15, 2025. But the program’s future is somewhat unclear: In December, 29 Republican lawmakers sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, calling for him to end the Direct File program on his first day in office. Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives also introduced legislation in July to end the Direct File program. For now, here’s what you need to know about how the IRS Direct File program works, and how to qualify for it. The Direct File program is a new initiative, about to enter its second year, that allows taxpayers to file their federal tax returns electronically with the IRS. The no-cost tool guides taxpayers through every part of their federal income tax return. Taxpayers can file using a smartphone, computer or tablet. One of the program’s advantages is that, if you have questions as you’re working on your return, you can get live support directly from the IRS via chat or phone. IRS representatives can answer basic tax questions and help with technical issues in English and Spanish. The Direct File program has income limits, as well as limits on the types of income, deductions and credits you can enter on your tax return. For the 2025 tax season: To be eligible for Direct File, your income can come from the following sources: But if you’re self-employed, or have business or rental income, you can’t use Direct File . Same goes for IRA contributions or distributions: If you have either, you can’t use Direct File. You can use the IRS Direct File program only if you claim the standard deduction — the program isn’t available to people who itemize. But you can claim certain above-the-line deductions: student loan interest , educator expenses and health savings account contributions . You can’t use Direct File if you want to deduct your IRA contributions. The Direct File program allows for the following tax credits in 2025: However, if you want to claim education credits , credits for energy efficient home upgrades or the adoption expense credit , you can’t use the Direct File program. More taxpayers will have access to the IRS Direct File program in 2025. In 2024, the IRS kicked off the program with only 12 states; that number has expanded to 24 states for the 2025 tax season. For some of the states that participate in the IRS Direct File program, your federal return information will be transferred automatically to the state tax website, but in some cases you’ll have to re-enter your information. Visit this IRS Direct File page to get the details for your state. Here is a list of the participating states: If you don’t qualify for the IRS Direct File program, you may have other options to file your tax return for free. In addition to Direct File, the IRS offers the Free File program, in which it partners with online tax software providers to provide free federal income tax return filing. Some providers also allow you to file a state income tax return. For the 2024 tax season, your adjusted gross income had to be less than $79,000 to qualify for the Free File program. That dollar threshold is likely to rise slightly for the 2025 tax season. The IRS also offers the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which provides certified volunteers to prepare basic tax returns if you earn less than $67,000 a year, are disabled, or speak limited English.

The Associated PressA former Guam resident, from Talo’fo’fo’, is now a rising officer at the U.S. Naval Academy. Jewel Amber Maigue, a senior at the U.S. Naval Academy, was recently promoted to midshipman, a rank in the U.S. Navy for those training to become naval officers. “It’s been an incredible privilege to be at the academy and to come from a small place like Guam,” Maigue said. “Being Guam’s daughter, I think that’s almost my entire personality, and if anyone asks me, really, that’s one of the inspirations that I have for being here. So it’s been an incredible privilege, and I’m thankful for all the opportunities that come with it.” When Maigue learned she had been accepted into the Naval Academy, she was shocked and overwhelmed with gratitude. “I initially got into the Naval Academy in the spring of 2021 when I was about to graduate from Guam High School, class of 2021, and initially, I was just shocked,” she said. “It’s an institution with a 7.2% acceptance rate, so the chances were very slim. I had just put my best foot forward in the application process and hoped for the best.” Once Maigue realized she was about to embark on a new chapter in her life, she developed a long-term sense of gratitude for the opportunity. “I hope that even with the slim chances of being chosen to come to the Naval Academy, it serves as an inspiration for others to pursue the same or similar paths that are less traveled,” she said. Maigue, now in a leadership position, acknowledged the honor, responsibility, and privileges that come with her rank. “As a midshipman, at the end of four years at the Naval Academy, you get a commission into the United States Navy or the United States Marine Corps. During your four years, you’re getting a college education while also living with your best friends in the same hall,” Maigue explained. “We all get a Bachelor of Science degree at the end of our time here, and you receive training throughout your entire Naval Academy career, being exposed to different communities in the Navy and different jobs in the Marine Corps. Ultimately, it builds you to prepare sailors and Marines by the time you receive that commission.” Maigue is set to graduate in May with a degree in cyber operations. She plans to lead sailors in the Navy, carrying forward her family’s legacy and values. Maigue is one of four students from Guam currently attending the academy—a fact she takes great pride in. “There are four of us at the academy: myself, Michigan [Jadrian] Juico, who is a junior right now, Jason Palomares, who is a sophomore, and Scott Afaguie, who is a freshman. So, there’s four of us representing our small, little island,” she said. When asked if she feels a sense of accomplishment as a woman in the military, Maigue emphasized that being a woman does not feel like an obstacle. “Overall, I would say it’s not an important factor,” she said. “You’re surrounded by individuals who are also accomplished and come from different walks of life. So, even though I’m a woman in the military, while it can serve as an inspiration for other females looking to pursue a similar path, it’s not something that is really seen as an obstacle nowadays. Maybe in years past, in different generations, but I wouldn’t see it as an obstacle for people trying to pursue that.” She added, “Everything is very fair here at the United States Naval Academy, and overall, they’re looking for people who are passionate, who have the intrinsic desire to serve their country, and who are looking to serve something much bigger than themselves.” Maigue’s path to the academy was influenced by her upbringing and her father’s legacy in the Navy. “My dad is an immigrant from the Philippines, and he joined the Navy to make a living for himself and his family. Growing up knowing that background, I made it a long-term goal to pursue something that he wasn’t able to do in his lifetime,” she said. Her mother also inspired her to pursue higher education. “My mom also didn’t get her college degree because she was a young mom. I’m very lucky to be close to both of them, but they weren’t able to do the things I am able to do today,” Maigue said. “It’s always been my goal to come to college, complete my degree, and have job security. I’m lucky to be able to express my gratitude for this country and the opportunities it’s given me.” Reflecting on her time at the academy, Maigue acknowledged how surreal it has been to meet prominent figures like the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations. “Being able to do internships and meeting the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations, almost like it’s the average thing on a random Tuesday. It’s a surreal feeling, but it’s definitely one I’m grateful for,” she said. Her most memorable experience, she said, was mentoring incoming students and reflecting on her leadership development. “My fondest memory here—and I would say it’s also a takeaway—is I was able to detail the incoming class of 2027 when they were about to be freshmen,” Maigue said. “That experience was a culmination of all the leadership lessons I had picked up on and observed in others. It gave me a great opportunity to practice and understand my approach to leadership.” While she has been away from home for most of her time at the academy, Maigue remains connected to her roots. “I’ve been to Guam every Christmas since being at the academy for the past four years. Each time I go back, it’s another opportunity to realize that I’m in a good place and that I have a lot to be thankful for,” she said. “I always look forward to my mom’s cooking, especially her soups. Just being able to enjoy small things like going to Ipan Mobil or listening to the waves—it’s the little things from back home that make me appreciate my time here even more.” She also cherishes the camaraderie she shares with the other students from Guam at the academy. “I would say we’re very close. It’s me and the three boys. We text regularly, check in with each other, and make time to hang out. If there’s anyone who makes me feel like I’m back home at the academy, it’s those three boys,” Maigue said. “We bring a unique approach to friendship and familial ties here, simply because of the way we grew up on Guam.” She added that her bond with the boys has helped them share their cultural values with others at the academy. “I’ve gotten feedback from others who say things like, ‘You’re the most tactful individual I’ve ever spoken to,’ and I don’t even think about it, but I think it’s because we talk to each other like family. It’s something that helps us navigate communication with others, and it’s an advantage that comes from growing up in Guam, where family is everything.” As Maigue prepares to graduate and take on her new role, she is determined to leave a lasting legacy, both as a leader and as a representative of Guam. “I feel an incredible responsibility to educate my classmates on what it’s like to be from Guam and to share the unique social, political climate we have back home,” she said. “We are just like anyone else. It doesn’t make us different just because we’re a U.S. territory, but it’s a unique experience that I’m grateful to share with others.”paano manalo sa wild ace 。

Analysis-GM and other US automakers would take big hit from Trump tariffs

With its lofty five-storeyed central tower, Haa Dzong looms large. Built in 1895, Wangchuck Lo Dzong, as it is formally known, was rebuilt in 1915 after it was destroyed by a fire. The whitewashed walls create the perfect backdrop for the intricately designed wooden balconies and colourful artwork. “The Bhutanese word ‘dzong’ translates to ‘fortress’ or ‘castle’,” says guide Tshewang Phunstso. The majestic dzongs serve as the religious, military, administrative, and social centres of their district. Traditionally built on strategic locations like hilltops or the confluence of rivers to provide natural defence and command views of the surrounding areas, dzong architecture is massive in style: the walls embrace a veritable maze—courtyards, temples, corridors, offices, classrooms, and accommodation for monks. Bhutanese dzong architecture reached its apogee in the 17th century under Ngawang Namgyal, the 1st Zhabdrung Rinpoche, who is said to have relied on visions and omens to site each of the dzongs. In 1629, he built the Simtokha Dzong, the oldest surviving dzong in Bhutan. Today, the remote Himalayan kingdom has 20 dzongs, each different and yet similar. The distinctive architectural elements—soaring central towers, large watchtowers, whitewashed fortified walls, and elaborate woodwork—typify Bhutanese architecture. “The walls, with intricate paintings and murals, depict our country’s rich cultural heritage via the many historical events, stories and legends,” Phunstso says. Marc Dujardin, in his study, From Living to Propelling Monument, writes: “Contrary to most medieval castles in Europe that are relatively dead monuments and literally ‘empty’ places, Bhutanese (dzongs) are still in use today. The dzong still accommodates the same political, religious and logistic functions it was originally designed for.” Every dzong stands tall as a living monument, representing the past in the present. The architecture is distinctively traditional: wattle-and-daub construction, rammed earth, stone masonry, and intricate woodwork. Traditionally, no plans were drawn on paper and the dzongs, with massive sloping walls, overhanging roofs, high inset windows, and dark bands of colourful painting, seem to be an organic part of the country’s rugged landscape. “The red, white and yellow used in the woodwork stands out against the lush greenery and blue waters,” Phunstso says. Thimphu, about 110 km from Haa, is home to Tashichho Dzong, the ‘Fortress of the Glorious Religion’, which has been the seat of the Royal Government of Bhutan since the capital moved from Punakha to Thimphu in 1962. “The annual Thimphu Tshechu is held here every September. Locals and tourists gather to witness the music and cultural performances that reveal Bhutan’s many traditions and customs,” Phunstso says. About 72 km from Thimphu stands one of Bhutan’s most beautiful dzongs. Punakha Dzong, also known as the ‘Palace of Great Happiness’, is situated at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu, and has been the site of momentous events such as the coronations of kings and the present king’s wedding. The dzong is also the winter residence of the official monk body, the dratshang. Punakha Dzong has three dochey (courtyards): the first, with a huge white victory chorten and bodhi tree, is used for administrative functions; the second houses the monastic quarters; while the third has the temple. The gorgeous murals, the magnificent gold statues of the Buddha, Guru Rinpoche, and the Zhabdrung, the gold-panelled pillars, and ornate wood carvings painted red, black, and gold are picture perfect. Built on a steep hillside, Paro Dzong, also known as Rinpung Dzong (Rinpung translates to “heap of jewels”), helped defend the Paro valley from invasions by Tibet numerous times. Comprising the dochey and a five-storeyed utse (central tower), the whitewashed structure sets off the richly carved and painted woodwork. The watchtower above the dzong, Ta Dong, is now the National Museum of Bhutan, and houses a large collection of religious relics, artifacts, traditional artwork, and historical objects. These dzongs offer a window into Bhutan’s rich history, culture, and religious traditions.TDP leaders pay tribute to Manmohan Singh, hail his visionary economic reforms

Billboard magazine issued an apology to Taylor Swift following the inclusion of a clip of a naked wax figure of her in a video celebrating her achievement, reported Huffpost. According to Huffpost, the video which eventually highlighted Taylor Swift's career ups and downs featured a footage from Kanye West 's 2016 music video for ‘Famous’ where Taylor Swift's wax figure is shown alongside other nude celebrity figures. Billboard eventually acknowledged the clip was inappropriate and stated, ‘We are deeply sorry to Taylor Swift and all of our readers and viewers that in a video celebrating Taylor Swift’s achievements, we included a clip that falsely depicted her’. Also Read : Manchester City vs Liverpool live streaming: Prediction, kick off time, where to watch The inclusion of the clip eventually sparked outrage among Taylor Swift's fans, who viewed it as a cruel reminder of how women's bodies are often objectified, asserted Huffpost.

This incident also highlights the ongoing tension between Taylor Swift and Kanye West which actually stems from their long-standing feud that began in the year 2009 when Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs, noted Huffpost. In previous statements also, Taylor Swift has expressed feelings of being bullied and manipulated by Kanye West and his associates.

Nigeria targets 15% pharmaceutical market share in Africa by 2030 – Health MinisterAmazon is doubling its investment in Anthropic to $8 billion in a deepened collaboration on artificial intelligence, the companies said Friday. The e-commerce and technology behemoth will remain a minority investor in Anthropic, having pumped an initial $4 billion into the artificial intelligence developer late last year and becoming its primary cloud computing provider. "The response from AWS customers who are developing generative AI applications powered by Anthropic in Amazon Bedrock has been remarkable," said Matt Garman, chief of AWS cloud computing division. "We'll keep pushing the boundaries of what customers can achieve with generative AI technologies." Amazon is investing the additional $4 billion in Anthropic as part of an expanded alliance that includes working together on "Trainium" hardware to optimize machine learning, according to the companies. "We're looking forward to working with Amazon to train and power our most advanced AI models using AWS Trainium, and helping to unlock the full potential of their technology," said Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei. The announcement came just days after Britain's competition regulator cleared Google-parent Alphabet's investment in Anthropic, following a probe. The Competition and Markets Authority concluded that the big tech giant had not acquired "material influence" over Anthropic as a result of the deal, which was reported to have cost $2 billion. The British regulator is one of several global regulators concerned with reining in big tech companies and their partnerships with AI firms. In September, the CMA cleared Amazon's initial investment in Anthropic, saying it did not believe that "a relevant merger situation has been created." gc/mlmCU Boulder Clinic Helps Recover Digital Accounts After Death

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres’s new home in South West England was wrecked by floodwaters days after DeGeneres fled the United States after President-elect Donald Trump defeated his Democratic opponent.

Roads nearby DeGeneres’s new home were reportedly inaccessible due to floods as deep as five feet, according to the outlet, trapping residents in their homes. “The flood waters are rising by the hour.

NoneOverall Outlook in 2025 2025 brings a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for Aries natives. Saturn transitions from the 11th house to the 12th house in March, shifting your focus from financial gains to managing expenses. Meanwhile, Jupiter's transit promises uplifting moments in both personal and professional aspects. Love & Relationships in 2025 Relationships will see steady progress in 2025. Jupiter’s favorable position in the first half highlights family harmony and emotional support. However, as Saturn moves to the 12th house, you may feel distanced or preoccupied with personal goals, which might affect close relationships. By focusing on meaningful communication, you can strengthen bonds and build new connections, especially during the second half when Jupiter transitions to the 3rd house. This is a great time to expand your social circle and nurture budding friendships. Career & Finances in 2025 The year starts strong with Saturn in your 11th house, ensuring financial gains and the fulfillment of long-desired goals. After March, Saturn’s move to the 12th house might bring unexpected expenses, but Jupiter’s position in the 2nd house ensures you have the resources to manage them effectively. From May onward, Jupiter in the 3rd house highlights teamwork and new partnerships, which could lead to long-term professional success. Health in 2025 Health remains manageable throughout the year, though Saturn in the 12th house post-March warns of possible fatigue and stress-related issues. Prioritize rest, maintain a balanced diet, and stay active to counter these effects. The first half of the year is relatively smooth health-wise, but as the year progresses, you may feel the need for rejuvenation. Best Months of 2025 The months of January, February, and April are particularly favorable. These months bring financial rewards, family happiness, and personal growth. Mid-year (July-August) is also excellent for forming meaningful partnerships and professional collaborations. Bad Months of 2025 March and December might feel challenging due to Saturn’s transition and its impact on expenses and emotional well-being. These months require careful financial planning and a conscious effort to maintain emotional balance. Key Mantra for 2025 "Balance ambition with self-care." While 2025 offers great opportunities for growth, it also demands that you focus on managing stress and maintaining meaningful relationships.
