05:37 Yes, I'm getting very very healthy so what happens and you
05:40 know what the almonds actually good for us all about it there
05:45 ago so all right coming up it is almost tax. I don't want to
05:51 talk about it. We have tips to prepare you for the filing so
05:56 come on back.
05:57 >> The following portion of the Arizona daily mix is sponsored
06:13 on behalf of into a credit karma by Gorbets communications.
06:17 >> It's almost tax season and last week I talked to Courtney
06:23 love the head of tax it into it credit karma who's providing
06:28 useful tips on how to prepare for tax season and how to make
06:31 the most out of your tax refund.
06:33 >> I Courtney thanks for being here so it is that time of year
06:39 tax season is upon us unfortunately what can
06:43 consumers do to prepare.
06:45 If you hear the words tax season and get nervous you are
06:49 far from alone nearly one in 3 Americans have told us that they
06:53 are dreading filing their taxes this tax season. But if that's
06:57 you I'm here to tell you it does not need to be scary.
07:00 If you're feeling nervous, the best things you can do or to
07:03 get organized and make a plan you're probably already getting
07:07 tax related documents sent to you either through the mail or
07:11 via e-mail a shoe box on your desk and put anything coming in
07:14 the mail right there or create a folder on your computer for
07:17 anything electronic that way when it is time to file you
07:21 already have everything ready to go. And as hard as it can be
07:25 do try not to procrastinate I know, I'm the queen of waiting
07:28 until the last minute when it comes to things like this.
07:31 But the earlier you file your taxes the earlier you're going
07:35 to get that tax refund if you're owed one this year.
07:37 Courtney that's such a good point and I know for me that
07:40 when I get things done I just kind of feel that weight lifted
07:43 off of me so those tips are so great and there are so many
07:47 options now to doing your taxes, I mean how to consumers decide
07:50 what's best for them.
07:51 There are a ton of options out there it can be really
07:55 overwhelming, especially if you're a first-time tax filer
07:58 it's really helpful to spend a few minutes online and do some
08:01 research to figure out what option might be best for you,
08:04 but the good news is that online tools have gotten really
08:07 smart. They're fast easy intuitive and they really hold
08:12 your hand all the way through the process. But if you're
08:14 still feeling nervous and you just really want that human
08:17 touch and a little bit of reassurance to make sure that
08:20 everything is looking good. A lot of online options like
08:23 turbo tax also offer expert assistance.
08:26 >> That's so nice so you can still go with the online
08:29 option, but you have someone there like you said the human
08:32 touch to really personalize it so I love that option and you
08:36 already mentioned refunds everyone is thinking about
08:39 refunds and excited for them what you consumers really be
08:43 looking forward to or thinking about in terms of that.
08:45 We know that 3 in 4 Americans are expecting to receive a
08:49 refund this year and one for actually expecting to receive a
08:52 larger one than last year. But if you're hearing this and
08:55 thinking I don't know if I'm going to get a refund or how
08:57 big it's going to be there are free online tools like on
09:00 credit karma that can help you estimate either the size of the
09:03 refund you're going to get or the tax bill that you might in
09:07 just a couple of minutes and it's really helpful to do that
09:10 in advance now I can help you avoid some surprises when it
09:14 comes to actually filing your taxes, but you can start making
09:17 a plan either for how you're going to use that tax refund or
09:20 how you're going to pay that tax bill. You know I have owed
09:24 in the past so I know that feeling when you're surprised
09:26 and it's like that sinking feeling in your stomach so
09:28 that's such a great tool. But what if people can't quite
09:31 make that April 15th deadline, I mean talk a little bit about
09:35 extensions.
09:36 Yeah, you know tax has been in mid April for a long time,
09:40 but it has this funny habit every year of sneaking up a lot
09:43 of us but the most important thing is that whether you're
09:45 going to file your taxes or file an extension you want to
09:48 make sure to take action by April 15th. And if your reason
09:52 for wanting to file an extension is because you owe a
09:55 tax bill and you're feeling nervous about paying it which
09:57 is really understandable. The good news is that the IRS
10:01 offers payment plans that can really break down that bill
10:03 into more manageable chunks. But whatever is you want to do
10:06 whether file immediately or file an extension make sure to
10:10 take action by April 15th.
10:11 >> Those are some great tips. Thank you so much for the
10:14 somewhere can viewers go for more information.
10:16 >> Viewers can go to credit karma dot com or turbo tax dot
10:19 com to get the answers to all of their tax questions and get
10:22 ready to file for the season.
10:24 >> All right, well I feel prepared for that April 15th,
10:26 thank you so much.

12:34 curious when it's really hot outside like our Arizona
12:38 summers that we get out here is that something that you guys
12:40 can't do is it just something that in terms of your guys
12:43 being out in the heat is it something you just don't like
12:45 to do no we still can even in the summers, we have to start
12:48 really early and you don't get as long of days because
12:50 naturally and it gets just too hot for the surface
12:53 temperature on the the stucco or whatever is getting painted
12:55 it it gets harder to be able to do it and make sure the

13:43 choose somebody we go out there Sherwin-Williams donates the
13:46 paint our employees and team members donate their Saturday
13:50 we paint the house for free and manage this makes such a big
13:53 difference to somebody something as simple as getting
13:55 their house painted and we love doing it so we're asking for
13:59 nominations really need people in the community to nominate
14:01 somebody that needs to have their house painted.

14:07 in in the face of other things that maybe are a really big
14:09 deal it maybe doesn't seem like a huge deal but having that
14:12 refresh on your home really makes you feel proud and really
14:16 makes you feel like you you know love your space and you

16:40 conversation the other day about marriage. Yeah, when you

16:46 >> When you get married. It's almost like a unwritten
16:50 contract that you have stuff to do and Josh has stuff to do
16:54 yes, yes, and one is kind of like the homeowner stuff like
16:58 like that that the fix it stuff right those are things that
17:02 that
17:03 I we never agreed on this, but it's just like that is his
17:07 that says I I'm not doing the same okay, so I found 20
17:10 things every homeowner should know how to do okay, all right
17:14 so let me just say you do our first fixing a running toilet.
17:18 Yeah, that's Josh okay, all right, I'm called the dream
17:22 that's also Josh, no okay, set the thermostat probably.
17:26 What do you mean by that like go to the thermostat and push
17:29 74. I guess I said it so it's like heat or air at certain
17:34 times. Well, I think that's something anybody can do that
17:37 right that's good. I got that. Yeah.
17:41 No kids never touch. As an adult I never was allowed to
17:46 touch that there was that my mother's. Yeah, exactly.
17:49 I will talk cracks and gaps.
17:52 What is it talk talk or call call. I know that's Josh okay.
17:58 Turn off a smoke detector so that's going off to that.
18:02 I definitely don't know how to do that that's easy broom.
18:06 There you go.
18:07 Run across the room. Let's see. This is one important here.
18:12 Find your main water shut off valve.
18:15 Because I know you guys had a flood there today, but no idea
18:18 no can I tell you a funny story. Okay, so we had all the
18:21 water shut off for everything because they were doing all the
18:23 work and stuff, but they had finally reinstalled the
18:26 toilets and I was like hey, okay, can I you know, you know
18:29 use the bathroom and Josh was like yes, we have to turn the
18:31 water back on and I was like I don't know how to do that.
18:33 He was like it's the little knob right there you just turn
18:35 it and I was like okay, so I go in all of our vanities are
18:38 ripped out everything the only thing that's in there is just a
18:40 toilet and I'm like
18:42 okay, well, let me turn that so I go and I turn it but it was
18:45 the water to the vanity where the sink was and it just shot
18:49 water.
18:49 Hours drying out these back from the leak and you just shot
18:58 water.
18:59 Everywhere.
19:00 My two last ones really quick how about find a wall stud.
19:11 You know how to find a wall stud. I know that we have a
19:14 finder okay, I was like the little thing that you can find
19:17 it in the wall, but not the knocking were you knocking you
19:20 find it that's that's the old way. Change the air filters on
19:25 your AC system.
19:26 >> No this is something when you get married you you say
19:31 this is Josh this is your thing so Josh has never just doesn't
19:36 know where the vacuum is he doesn't know where really.
19:39 Idea because I vacuum that I'm perfectly fine with that Josh
19:46 doesn't know where the food comes from it just magically
19:49 appears in front of.
19:50 >> I teach our like how to do laundry how to iron and
19:55 clean and stuff how to do dishes.
19:57 >> Definitely so that I think the kid job doing the dishes
20:01 load in the dishwasher knowing, but I think as they get older
20:03 setting was Josh is how many how many kids in his family,
20:06 he's like 8, 8, 8, 8, so that other people do it so did he
20:10 get to learn how to do the laundry and do the dishes and
20:13 stuff. Josh is really good when I cook he does the dish okay,
20:16 all right that's good.
20:17 That's good like last night he did all the dishes know he's
20:21 good. We have a system. Yeah, maybe it doesn't sound.
20:26 >> Well I I I made sure my son knew how to do is laundry and
20:31 cook those are 2 things I made sure because when you're a
20:33 young.
20:34 >> Person man or woman and you have the first time I yourself
20:38 you have to know how to get the basic thing right so does Josh
20:41 know how to cook.
20:41 A nice meal probably not. You know, crack macaroni and
20:46 cheese and a pot and cook it so I know he survived.

22:48 >> For your chance has.
22:51 >> All right national on the day is tomorrow, but we're
22:56 celebrating a day early with some great tips to add more
22:59 almonds into your diet, yeah, we're joined by ratio
23:02 dietitian Christie whale who is giving us 3 tips we need to
23:06 know about of course. Welcome how are you having me so this
23:13 is good, okay, very important, let's talk about almonds and
23:16 how good they are for you.
23:18 >> Oh my gosh, yes, so almonds are definitely one of those
23:21 nutritious foods that we want to be implementing more into
23:24 our diets for so many reasons from trial to both. So first of
23:30 all they are such a great source of healthy fats healthy
23:33 plant-based fat so those monounsaturated polyunsaturated
23:37 fats we definitely want to incorporate that more into our
23:39 diets also great source of fiber so fun fact you can
23:44 actually get 3 grams of fiber per every one ounce of almonds
23:48 yes, I feel like 2024 is definitely the year of fiber
23:50 everyone should be everyone is trying to increase their fiber
23:54 intake and almonds are really great way to do this.
23:56 >> Okay so for those of us out there who who maybe don't know
23:58 like me why is fiber so good for you.
24:01 >> Oh gosh so you should definitely be trying to get
24:04 across the board minimum 25 grams of fiber every single day
24:08 for great digestion really gets things moving which is going to
24:11 help decrease the chances of colon cancer which is definitely
24:14 a big issue now.
24:16 >> All right, well, let's get into what we have on the table
24:19 what we have going on.
24:20 >> So first I have some honey almond granola Sir really one
24:24 of the comments to be the star of the show so I kept it very
24:27 simple very minimal. It's sweetened naturally with the
24:30 honey but the Oats these to the base and then I have the
24:34 almonds just chopped them up in a little food processor, but
24:37 you can also keep them whole or even talking about by hand if
24:40 you don't have a food processor. All that on a baking
24:43 sheet, yes, you just think you you know mix it all up get all
24:48 coded and then you throw on baking sheet for about 30
24:51 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
24:53 >> So you see the only thing that's really here are the is
24:56 the Oats the almonds and a little bit of honey, yeah,
24:59 it's so easy a lot of good mess. All right here.
25:03 >> This one is going to be almond milk so this is whole
25:07 on this is the first idea that I had and then this is going to
25:10 be another way to get on this which is going to be almond
25:13 milk. So I didn't a little smoothie already blended up,
25:17 but you'll see here look how good this almond milk looks
25:20 yeah, it's beautiful, it looks just like cows milk, but it's a
25:23 really great alternative to a cosmic for those who can't have
25:26 dairy right so those who are lactose intolerant so you would
25:29 suggest just just downing a glass of almond milk sure
25:32 absolutely.
25:33 >> I don't really whatever you're going to have.
25:36 >> So I have a sweet they have different flavors to write
25:39 that are good. Yeah, I do this is not a sweet and one which I
25:42 do like because you can customize it, however, you want
25:46 you can add just like it did with this movie I did the
25:48 unsweetened and I added banana for sweetness and some maple
25:51 syrup. Yeah, I'm not sure the stuff exactly just kind of like
25:55 this kept very minimal same thing with this very much
25:57 tasty OK now these look like the start of the show over here
26:00 all my gosh, yes, so I'm in flower is my other tip for
26:04 getting an almond is another great way it's a great
26:07 alternative to traditional flower. So those who can't have
26:10 wheat flowers are with a gluten intolerance someone who has
26:13 celiac disease. This is a really great way you get that
26:17 healthy fat that fiber and it's just I made a traditional
26:21 blueberry muffins so who doesn't like a blue.
26:23 >> Okay, well we also I have to ask because for me I have
26:27 tried to cook with alternative flowers and more.
26:29 >> A big with alternative and it was a mess. How do you know
26:34 is it one to one is it to what how do you know how much to
26:37 do that's a really great question I think it depends on
26:39 the recipe because there's so many things you can do with the
26:41 flour you can make it in baking like like I did here you can
26:45 also use it and like a savory dish you can like coats.
26:49 >> Yeah, like let's say if you want to make chicken tenders
26:52 you could do some almond flour coated chicken tenders really
26:56 just depends but I would just play around with it like don't
26:59 take it too seriously.
27:00 >> So you say almost use it like regular flower, yeah,
27:03 that's so use the same portions. Yeah, you could even
27:08 make like pancakes. You said for people who have like
27:12 problems because it's not made from the wheat flour like a
27:15 traditional. Yeah, I never thought about that.
27:20 >> And it's crazy because sorry it's crazy because these
27:24 almonds are just dried up in ground into a really fine
27:27 flour like who would have thought that you can make a
27:29 flower. Yeah, wow.
27:31 >> So all right we also talk about this a handful of
27:33 almonds, I mean you recommend just one handful a day or what
27:36 he.
27:38 >> It's funny because I wanted to bring a 3 like unique ways
27:41 yeah, and all means so you don't have to eat almonds by
27:43 the end full if you don't want to but if you did want to sure
27:46 yeah, I think a handful a day is absolutely great way to do
27:49 that.
27:50 >> All right, well, these are some great tips get in those
27:52 almonds get that fiber and you are registered dietitian so
27:55 tell everybody where they can find more information about you
27:58 and learn even more sure you can find me on instagram at at
28:01 Chris and a whole whale or at my practice instagram at La
28:05 nutrition associates.
28:06 >> Perfect. Tomorrow we're going to lots of moments.

34:20 I'm going to borrow this.
34:21 >> The preceding portion of the Arizona daily mix was sponsored
34:29 by barrio Queen.
34:31 >> The Arizona justice project mission is to represent
34:42 Arizona inmates who claims or innocence of manifested
34:45 injustice have gone on he did on March 1st, the Arizona
34:48 justice project has a big gala that you can help out learn
34:52 more and here to help us is Lindsey her of the AJP how are
34:56 you doing I I'm great thing that made all sense to people
34:59 because people are wondering okay, the Arizona justice
35:03 project and it's really where we said it's help inmates who
35:06 have been incarcerated or you know are on the way to the
35:10 incarceration. And their case is kind of been either.
35:16 We want to say either overlooked in a way and so that sends
35:19 them to jail or not even being heard in the right way and
35:22 that's where you guys come in.
35:23 >> Right, yes, so we're we're a nonprofit organization and
35:28 individuals who have been convicted and are in prison
35:32 serving their sentence who have a claim of innocence that they
35:36 did not commit the crime or a claim of manifest injustice
35:40 which might be an excessive sentence or something like
35:43 that. We'll write into us and we receive about 400 requests
35:48 for help each year.
35:50 And our staff and our our legal interns that every case and
35:55 investigate cases and then we go from there on who we can
35:59 represent and help.
36:00 >> Yeah, and this is a very important project as we do have
36:02 people who have been you know sent to jail. On just for a lot
36:07 of different reasons. It's one maybe they did not even commit
36:10 the crime or be in the wrong place the wrong time are
36:12 associated with people and that's what again these cases
36:15 are very important here because you're really taking someone's
36:18 life away for a crime they didn't commit.
36:21 >> Yeah, there's impact on that person in the case of you know
36:26 when someone is innocent and they've they've been charged
36:29 and convicted of a crime that somebody else committed that's
36:32 something that the entire community deals with because
36:35 then a guilty person is still out there. And you know for
36:40 individuals who are excessively sentenced,
36:43 you know that impacts not just them but their entire families
36:47 and loved ones and so so there's a lot of rippling
36:51 effects of both wrongful conviction cases and manifest
36:54 injustice cases.
36:55 >> Yeah, because people to realize like you know when
36:57 someone does break the law. There's so many other laws
37:00 they've broken that get piled on and when they didn't break
37:04 those laws that he would understand that we have so many
37:06 different things I mean even from you know parking tickets
37:09 can actually get you arrested or speeding can and you don't
37:12 realize that and that's where some of the things go through.
37:15 Amazing you guys have helped 43 people already in Arizona.
37:18 Of course get freedom which is so important to their families
37:21 and their lives. Yes, yes, I want so in the game coming up
37:25 let's talk about the last like a Lindsay so proud of you guys
37:27 should be it's it's a big project take on and it's there
37:30 as you said you're you're helping families and people so
37:33 this gala coming up March 1st is very important for people to
37:36 attend is that.
37:37 >> Yes, yes, so it's our big annual fundraiser where we
37:41 bring the community together to support the work of the
37:44 Arizona justice project. And this year I think we have 15
37:48 of our free to exonerated clients and some of their
37:51 family members that will be there. So we're excited to
37:54 honor them and then we have a keynote speaker is a man named
37:58 Kirk bloodsworth out of the state of Maryland. He was the
38:01 first person to be exonerated by the use of DNA testing
38:05 having been convicted of a crime and sentenced to death
38:08 row in Maryland. He was exonerated 30 years ago and
38:11 we've seen since the 90's how many more people you know how
38:16 whose innocence have been proven through the use of DNA
38:18 testing including here in Arizona. Yeah, and that's the
38:21 thing about this project is that you listen to every case
38:24 of the way you guys are there's pretty much criteria to it's
38:27 not just where anybody send you something you're like OK,
38:30 let's go help them. There's a lot of criteria going into it
38:32 doesn't it. Yes, yes, I mean it takes us months if not years
38:36 to vet and investigate cases and see if we uncover evidence
38:41 of a wrongful conviction. Yeah, OK so if someone right now has
38:44 a family member that they feel has been of course
38:47 incarcerated. You know wrong how they get a hold of you is
38:50 there is a letter they sent to you or they sit with you what
38:52 do they do yes, yes, so most of the individuals who we receive
38:57 you know request for assistance are people who are in prison
39:00 who write us letters in the mail we still use the U.S.
39:03 Postal Service to communicate with potential clients if
39:06 there's somebody who sees this program and says my you know
39:10 husband or nephew or whomever might need you know the help of
39:13 this organization you can go to our website which is
39:17 www dot AZ justice project dot org and there is an
39:23 application there on the website that a person could print out
39:27 and send to their loved one who can fill it out and send it back
39:30 to us. It's so amazing I read these stories about people who
39:35 are are being freed after these years of being in jail through
39:38 DNA and different things that they actually start the process
39:41 their self while they were in jail learning and that's when
39:44 they need someone on the outside to help them so it's not where
39:46 the people who are you know cases you're taking are just
39:50 sitting back and let me do it they're there to help you aren't
39:52 they that's right that's right yeah they're proactively seeking
39:55 our assistance and seeking the assistance of whoever is out
39:58 there to help them. Well this is great well again the gala is
