Meet Hubbs Staff!
This past week, we got to interview Edric Lysne. He is a career navigator here at Hubbs. He works specifically with the ParaPro class helping train new education assistants. He also helps with a few other classes at Hubbs. Edric has worked within schools in the St. Paul district for 11 years, starting here at Hubbs in November. The best part of his job is getting to work with the people at Hubbs- they are all very helpful, nice, and dedicated! His days are not always the same, but some highlights of what he has been able to do include mock interviews with the Building Maintenance class and hosting Google Meets creating resumes with students! Edric also does some data collection, creating and reviewing surveys. He would love to start to do more teaching! Outside of Hubbs, Edric loves to spend time outdoors including skiing (he is also a ski coach), rock climbing (which he is also an instructor for), and mountain biking! The advice he wants to give to others is to stick with it! Life and school can be very difficult, but you will do great things!

Important IRS updates and tips for a successful 2022 tax season!
What's new and what to consider when filing taxes in 2022:
Check on advance child tax credit payments
Families who received advance payments will need to compare the advance child tax credit payments that they received in 2021 with the amount of the child tax credit that they can properly claim on their 2021 tax return.
- People should be on the lookout for and save Letter 6419 from the IRS in Early January, with the total amount of advance child tax credit payments received in 2021 that contains the total amount of the third economic impact payment and any plus-up payments received.
Changes to the charitable contribution deduction
Taxpayers who don't itemize deductions may qualify to take a deduction of up to $600 for married taxpayers filing joint returns and up to $300 for all other filers for cash contributions made in 2021 to qualifying organizations.
Economic impact payments and claiming the recovery rebate credit
Individuals who didn't qualify for the third economic impact payment or did not receive the full amount may be eligible for the recovery rebate credit based on their 2021 tax information. They'll need to file a 2021 tax return, even if they don't usually file, to claim the credit.
- People should be on the lookout for and save Letter 6475 from the IRS in Early January that contains the total amount of the third economic impact payment and any plus-up payments received.

Reconciling Your Advance Child Tax Credit Payments on Your 2021 Tax Return
Steps you can take right now to get ready:
Gather and organize tax records
Organized tax records -- such as Forms W-2, 1099's, etc. --make preparing a complete and accurate tax return easier. They help avoid errors that lead to processing delays that slow refunds. Having all needed documents on hand before taxpayers prepare their return helps them file it completely and accurately.
Taxpayers should also gather any documents from these types of earnings. People should keep copies of tax returns and all supporting documents for at least three years.
Confirm mailing and email addresses and report name changes
Taxpayers should confirm now that each employer, bank and other payer has their current mailing address or email address. Report address changes by completing Form 8822, Change of Address and sending it to the IRS, as well as notifying USPS.com or their local post office. They should also notify the Social Security Administration of a legal name change.
View account information online
Consider accessing the latest available information about your federal tax account by setting up an Online Account.
Review proper tax withholding and make adjustments if needed
Taxpayers may want to consider adjusting their withholding if they owed taxes or received a large refund in 2021. Changing withholding can help avoid a tax bill or let individuals keep more money each payday.
Individuals who receive a substantial amount of non-wage income like self-employment income, investment income, taxable Social Security benefits and in some instances, pension and annuity income should make quarterly estimated tax payments.
