The California Milk Processor Board Launches “Moo Money,” Its First-Ever Consumer Loyalty Program

January 28, 2019

SAN CLEMENTE, California, Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The California Milk Processor Board (CMPB) – creators of the iconic got milk? and toma leche campaign – today announced the launch of its first-ever consumer loyalty program. Beginning today and running through April 28, 2019, “Moo Money” will reward milk-loving California consumers for purchasing real, wholesome dairy milk at any participating retail outlet, as well as online.

“For 25 years, we have connected with our consumers in meaningful ways through some of the most iconic ad campaigns. Now, we are thrilled to be able to give back to all the families in California that recognize that fresh and all-natural dairy milk, the original farm-to-table food, offers great taste and wholesome benefits. We are launching ‘Moo Money’ to thank and reward California families for their loyalty,” said Steve James, executive director of the California Milk Processor Board.

Buy Real Dairy Milk, Earn Dollars
Beginning today, eligible California consumers who register online at www.moomoney.com can immediately begin earning valuable points for every $1 spent towards a qualifying purchase of real dairy milk. Whenever they buy real milk, all they have to do is snap a picture of their receipt and submit it to www.moomoney.com to receive points into their account. Once consumers reach enough points, they will be able to convert those points into Virtual Reward Cards, which will be delivered to participants via a link to a Virtual Reward Card PDF. The Virtual Reward Cards can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted at any time prior to June 1, 2019.

Any gallon, half gallon, or quart, as well as any non-standard pack size of real dairy milk purchased at any retailer (grocery, mass, club, specialty, etc.) in the state of California, qualifies for this program. Alternative “milk” products and beverages, such as rice, coconut, almond and other substitutes, are not eligible for this program.

“Moo Money” Terms and Conditions
“Moo Money” is open to legal U.S. residents who reside in California and who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. The California Milk Processor Board “Moo Money” reward program (the “Program”) takes place from January 28, 2019 at 12:00:01 p.m. Pacific Time (“PT”) through April 28, 2019 at 11:59:59 p.m. PT (the “Program Period”). The Program is sponsored by the California Milk Processor Board (“Sponsor). For a complete list of Terms and Conditions, visit www.moomoney.com.

Real Dairy Milk’s Health Benefits
Fresh and all-natural milk from cows raised on California farms is a convenient source of nine essential nutrients, without any artificially processed ingredients — for less than 25 cents a serving. Even with their much higher price, substitutes can’t capture the distinctive taste and feel that real dairy milk provides.

For milk recipes, nutritional facts, and further information, visit: www.gotmilk.com. You can also follow “got milk?” via social media on @gotmilk. For information in Spanish, visit: www.tomaleche.com, and follow “toma leche” via social media on @tomaleche.

About the CMPB

Its latest multi-platform multicultural campaign, You Can Always Count on Milk, captures today’s children facing daily challenges and powering through it all with milk as their trusted drink of choice before, during and after a long day. As of July 2018, the CMPB features a newly revamped website offering millennial families with the fun takes on how they can rely on milk, nutritional advice for a healthier lifestyle, and a variety of ways to incorporate milk into easy-to-make recipes they can try at home.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program Returns to Broward County

January 28, 2019

HOLLYWOOD, Florida, Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

Who: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
What: Free Tax Preparation for Families
Where: Broward County
When: January 22 – April 15, 2019

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program will provide free income tax services through April 15, 2019. Individuals and families who earned $55,000 or less in 2018 can save up to $200 in tax preparation fees; the program includes eligibility determinations for inclusion in federal tax credit programs. Program participants will continue to receive financial guidance on the best way to use their refund.

These services will be provided at 16 permanent tax sites located across Broward County in local nonprofits, public libraries, municipalities plus more than 25 mobile tax sites where a team of preparers travels to assist and ensure accessibility to the community. To find the nearest VITA site in Broward County, call 211 or 954-537-0211 or visit www.VITATaxesFree.org.

Certain families and individuals may qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and/or the Child Tax Credit (CTC). These tax credits change from year to year and are based on earnings, number of qualifying children and marital status.

The maximum amount of EITC credits for 2018 is as follows:

$6,431 with three or more qualifying children
$5,716 with two qualifying children
$3,461 with one qualifying child
$519 with no qualifying children

This free tax service is available for persons with disabilities, veterans and the elderly. Services are available in English, Spanish, French, Haitian-Creole, Portuguese and American Sign-Language.

“VITA and the Earned Income Tax Campaign have been enormously helpful to millions of working families struggling to make ends meet,” said Cindy Arenberg Seltzer, President/CEO of the Children’s Services Council of Broward County. “That is why we have been a major supporter of this campaign in Broward for fifteen years. Reimbursements going directly into the pockets of Broward County families that need them most makes an enormous difference in the lives of children,” she said.

“Here at United Way of Broward County we fight for the financial stability of every person in our community, VITA is a crucial element of this pillar. It is imperative that our residents know and are educated on how to file for taxes, how they can qualify and what credits are available to them. This is life-changing for someone who is living paycheck to paycheck,” said Kathleen Cannon, President and CEO of United Way of Broward County.

“During the 2018 tax season, $6.3 million in taxes were refunded to Broward County working families and individuals and more than 6,011 people were served across 16 site locations,” said Josie Bacallao, President/CEO of Hispanic Unity of Florida, the largest provider of these services in Broward County.

This Broward community-wide initiative is made possible by the Children’s Services Council of Broward County (CSC), the IRS, Hispanic Unity of Florida, United Way of Broward County, and Citi Community Development. Other key partners and funders include: 211 Broward, Bank of America, Broward College, Broward County, Broward County Libraries, Community Access Center, HandsOn Broward, SunTrust Bank, and Third Federal Savings & Loan.

(ARIDRA) to create Car Care Council North America to direct the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

“Car Care Council North America builds on the positive reputation and image of the current Car Care Council, that has been funded and directed by the Auto Care Association for nearly 20 years as a credible source of information about the benefits of vehicle maintenance, care and repair,” said Rich White, Car Care Council executive director.

“As everyone working in the global auto care industry knows, proper vehicle maintenance is a universal issue and a challenge that has no borders. Expanding the Car Care Council initiatives in Canada and Mexico is a logical next step in educating consumers about the benefits of regular vehicle upkeep,” said Bill Hanvey, Auto Care Association president and CEO. “We are thrilled to reinforce our association’s ongoing partnerships with AIA Canada and ARIDRA.”

“The North American automotive aftermarket industry is more connected than ever before,” says Jean-François Champagne, president, AIA Canada. “Establishing the CCCNA as an organization that reaches across borders to provide extensive consumer education on vehicle care and maintenance in all three countries together is a clear reflection of that interconnectivity. AIA Canada is proud to be a part of this initiative.”

“The creation of the expanded council seeks the unification of services in the United States, Canada and Mexico, to ensure that vehicles have preventive and not corrective maintenance. We intend to create consumer awareness to keep the vehicles in optimal condition,” said Alejandro Calderón, ARIDRA president. “For ARIDRA, it is an honor to join Car Care Council North America, which will surely help reduce accidents and increase vehicle passenger safety.”

AIA Canada is the national trade association that brings together the entire automotive aftermarket supply and service chain. AIA’s mandate is to promote, educate and represent members in areas that impact the growth and prosperity of the industry.

ARIDRA is a civil association based in Mexico City, which includes manufacturers, representatives, importers and distributors of automobile spare parts and accessories. Founded in 1943, it represents the image of the aftermarket in Mexico. It has been acting on behalf of its members for 75 years on matters of common interest to help its strategic development and improving their business environment. ARIDRA currently has 151 members in Mexico.

The key goals of Car Care Council North America (CCCNA) include:

Substantially increasing the number of consumers reached with information about proper vehicle care and maintenance on behalf of the three associations’ respective members and industries as a whole.
Structuring CCCNA to ensure a level of autonomy to accommodate country-specific cultural, language and other unique needs for each of the U.S., Canada and Mexico organizations, while centralizing the organization under the umbrella of the current U.S. Car Care Council to leverage economies of scale.
Creating an advisory group with representatives from each association to help guide CCCNA to ensure that the needs of their respective members, motoring public and industries are being met.
Launching a central easy-to-navigate web portal where consumers, industry professionals and the media can locate and download car care content in English, Spanish and French from each of the U.S., Canada and Mexico websites.
Increasing the number of service and repair businesses throughout North America participating in the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign by providing them access to communications materials, marketing tools and other helpful resources.

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.

Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo… How to Find Your Perfect Tax Pro

January 25, 2019

SACRAMENTO, California, Jan. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — California is one of the few states that require paid tax preparers to be licensed or registered. State law requires anyone who prepares tax returns for a fee to be either an attorney, certified public accountant (CPA), CTEC-registered tax preparer (CRTP) or enrolled agent (EA) with the Internal Revenue Service. Each professional has varying levels of skills and not all of them necessarily deal with preparing tax returns.

Finding the right tax preparer really depends on your financial situation and needs.

Attorney- Any attorney, not just a tax attorney, can prepare your tax return; however, most attorneys only handle legal issues regarding your taxes. Attorneys have unlimited representation rights to assist clients in court or before the IRS.

Certified Public Accountant (CPA)- CPAs are required to pass a qualifying accounting exam, but that does not mean they’re all experts on tax preparation. For the most part, CPAs can help create an overall tax plan and guide you through complex financial situations. If you are mostly interested in tax preparation help, ask about their experience with filing tax returns. CPAs also have unlimited representation rights before the IRS.

CTEC Registered Tax Preparer (CRTP)- CRTPs must complete a qualifying education course on federal and state tax laws, pass a test from a CTEC-approved education provider, plus complete continuing education requirements each year. They are also required to obtain a $5,000 surety bond to protect clients against fraud. Because CTEC is a state-based program, CRTPs have limited representation rights. It means they can only represent clients before the IRS with tax returns they prepared and signed. To qualify for limited representation rights, they must obtain a record of completion from the IRS Annual Filing Season Program.

Enrolled Agent (EA)- They are regulated by the federal government. In fact, some are former IRS employees. Those who did not work for the IRS are required to pass a comprehensive IRS exam. EAs must also complete continuing education courses on federal tax laws. Similar to attorneys and CPAs, they have unlimited representation rights before the IRS.

The IRS requires all paid tax preparers to obtain an individual Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) and include it on all federal tax returns they prepare for clients.

CTEC is a nonprofit organization that was established in 1997 by the California State Legislature to protect taxpayers against fraud. Visit ctec.org for more information.
