Taxpayers may claim credits, deductions for sales taxes on new cars, and higher home deductions. Caution: some may owe taxes later due to misestimated withholdings.

Turnpike Lookouts Extend North Lawrence Interchange Plan
Turnpike postpones closure of an interchange in North Lawrence and keeps it available only to police fire and emergency vehicles. City officials warn the ramp may cost 40 000 to 50 000 dollars and may not solve traffic issues as weather and redesigns delay the main project. Two weeks remain to advance the surrounding traffic adjustments while crews from Fire Medical remain on overtime through March.
