Broken Places
Monday, April 6 at 10 p.m.
This impactful special explores why some
children are severely damaged by early adver-
sity while others are able to thrive. A group of
abused and neglected children that had been
profiled decades ago were revisited. Some of
these children were so scarred by abuse and
neglect that they are now in mental institu-
tions, correctional facilities or drug rehabili-
tation centers. A few died prematurely.
However, there are others who managed to
overcome comparable childhood stress and
are now healthy, self-sufficient adults. The
film helps to better understand the devastat-
ing impact of childhood adversity as well as
the inspiring characteristics of resilience.

named Natalie and believes the case is con-
nected to a Romanian sex trafficking gang.
Julien begins the search, but it’s not long
before he realizes that all is not as it seems.
Why does nobody want to talk about the
missing girl? Who is the man following
Julien’s wife? And who is the mysterious
woman who helps the sex industry girls and
tells them that Natalie has run away to
Germany? As Julien starts to uncover some of
the truths behind the lies, he realizes there is
more to this case than meets the eye. By the
time Baptiste becomes aware of the danger
that he is in, his own family is in grave peril.

t’s time to file your taxes which normally requires a meeting with your tax professional
to review your tax documents and discuss the year gone by. However, with the current
virus scare, are there alternatives to the traditional face-to-face meeting? Yes!
Here are a few things you might consider if you are concerned about your exposure to
COVID-19:
1. You can scan your tax documents into your computer and email them to your CPA. You can
follow up with a phone call to discuss the particulars.
2. Organize your documents, including a cover sheet then simply drop off the package without
having a formal meeting.

within city limits only takes a day or two.
5. If it’s just all too much right now, you can file for an extension.The extension will give you until
October 15, 2020 to finish your personal tax return. In addition, the Treasury has extended the
payment date (for any 2019 taxes owed) to July 15th. No penalties for late payment this year!

Reminder: If you are required to take RMD’s from your retirement plan, you can opt to have
your IRA manager pay money directly to a charity (as a donation) instead of to you. The
amount of money you donate in this fashion, will not be included in your taxable income for
that year. You will need to educate yourself as to the particulars but it is a great way to avoid
tax while supporting your favorite charities.
