Dana Street resident John Bonetti said there are 17 houses on his street ranging from single-family to six-family homes. Although there are 24 parking spaces, there are only nine driveways, forcing residents to park on Garfi eld Avenue. “You need to have a hunting license to fi nd a place to park,” Bonetti said during Monday night’s meeting. Bonetti said he doesn’t mind overnight enforcement, but the contributing factors include building new houses and apartments with little to no parking and alleged illegal rooming houses. “What do we do on holidays?” Bonetti asked. “There really is no good solution.” RESIDENTS | SEE PAGE 2 $2.53 GALLON ACADEMY-BOUND: Revere fi refi ghter recruits, from left to right: Gerard Festa, Brian Hartman, Eric Gibson and Leonard DiBartolomeo Jr. were sworn in as permanent fi refi ghters at City Hall on Tuesday afternoon.

On Tuesday afternoon, Leonard DiBartolomeo, Jr., Gerard Festa, Eric Gibson and Brian Hartman became permanent firefighters while Joseph Fabiano was sworn in as a permanent reservist. According to Mayor Brian Arrigo, DiBartolomeo knows F what it means to take an oath to save lives. As a sergeant in the U.S. Army, DiBartolomeo served in Iraq, where he earned several medals. As an Emergency Medical Technician and Basic Life Support Instructor who is scuba-certifi ed, DiBartolomeo will be an asset to the Fire Department, Arrigo said. Arrigo went on to say that Festa carries the history of a renowned family name. His grandfather was one of the city’s most prolifi c developers, while his father was one of Revere High School’s most prolific athletes.

According to Police Capt. Amy O’Hara, at approximately 5:15 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Ocean Avenue, where a caller stated the suspects were behind a stolen car that was on the news on Monday night. “Officers then observed the vehicle heading westbound on Revere Beach Parkway in front of the Police Station and attempted to stop the vehicle,” O’Hara said. “The vehicle fled onto Route 1A Southbound and failed to stop.” The car then reportedly struck a pick-up truck in traffi c and caused it to roll over. The driver of the truck was trapped in the vehicle; however, Revere Fire was able to extract him and he was taken to the hospital. His injuries appear to be non-life-threatening, according to O’Hara.

Markakis told the council, from a real estate standpoint, that not only does parking aff ect the quality of life in a community; it also has an indirect eff ect on real estate values and how people perceive Revere as a place to reside. “I can attest to one of the fi rst things a new family asks when shopping in Revere vs. other local communities; [it] is how are the city services with respect to snow plowing, parking and naturally overall cleanliness,’” Markakis said. “Landlords as well take notice as far as if Revere is user-friendly, which may translate to an investor buying here versus elsewhere.” Markakis went on to say that all these little factors aff ect decisions on whether or not to invest in Revere.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, February 15, 2019 Page 3 Temple Street fire deemed accidental By Th e Advocate O n an extremely cold evening on January 31 at 9:14 p.m., Revere Fire Department crews responded to the scene of a fi re at 81 Temple St., where they discovered a heavy fire, according to a report fi led by RFD Capt. Robert Fortuna. Two residents reportedly made it safely from their home when heavy fi re breached the roof of the home. As the fire crews engaged the blaze, a second alarm was struck, bringing fi re companies from Chelsea, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Boston, Massport, Winthrop, Saugus and Lynn both to the fi re and for coverage at the Revere Fire Stations. According to the report, Revere L1, L2 and Chelsea L2 set up their ladder pipes and began spraying water on the fi re. Within an hour, the heavy fire was knocked down and all companies resumed off ensive interior operations, chasing hot spots with handlines, ceiling hooks, axes and halligan bars. The cause of the fi re is believed to be accidental and electrical in nature – beginning in the attic void space and burning down and through the roof – it was fortunately contained restricting movement. There were no reported injuries to occupants or fi refi ghters. The Red Cross was requested to support the displaced occupants; the tenants’ cats were retrieved unharmed and a DPW sander was called in to deal with the extreme ice conditions.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, February 15, 2019 Give the gift of life this Valentine’s Day: Organ Donor Day By Tara Vocino n celebration of Valentine’s Day and National Organ Donor Day, Mayor Brian Arrigo joined heart recipients to proclaim Valentine’s Day as Organ Donor Day at City Hall on Tuesday afternoon. According to Matthew Boger of New England Donor Services, Valentine’s Day is a day of caring and sharing your heart with others. “What better way to share a heart than to register as an organ and tissue donor and getting a heart on your driver’s license or ID,” Boger said. “The celebration of Valentine’s Day and National Organ Donor Day commemorates those who have received or continue to wait for lifesaving transplants as well as the families of individuals who chose to be donors.” In 2018 more than 1,120 I lives were saved in New England because of the generosity of individuals who became organ donors, according to Boger. Also, thousands of lives were enhanced through the gift of tissue donation. With the need for lifesaving transplants growing every day – more than 113,500 patients are now on the U.S. Transplant Wait List – it is crucial to educate residents about the importance of registering as donors, according to Boger. New England Donor Services asked people to “have a heart” and get a heart by registering as donors with the Registry of Motor Vehicles. During Tuesday’s ceremony, those touched by organ donation shared their stories. Resident and heart recipient Katelyn Argueta, a fourth grade student at the Hill School, received a heart on Oct. 22, 2018. “We felt helpless,” her mother, Evelyn Pleitez, said. “We’re grateful for the wonderful family that provided a new heart so that my daughter could return to school two months later and have a normal life.” Arrigo said he couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than to give people another chance at life. “Thanks for celebrating National Organ Donor Day and the tremendous work that they do to facilitate critical services,” he said. Arrigo began to get emotional, as he gave a personal testimony as to how an organ donor contributed to his family. His father, John, was given an extra two years of life following a double lung transplant in July 2014. As a result, John was able to see Arrigo get married, witness the birth of his grandson Joseph and see Arrigo be elected as mayor of Revere.

Gibson has served as a corrections offi cer in the Suff olk County Sheriff ’s Department for the past 15 years. “Though he now changes uniforms, he continues in service to his fellow residents, accepting again the risks that come with the job in return for the satisfaction of serving the public with character, courage and integrity,” Arrigo said. Hartman took a different path that led him to the Fire Department. After graduating from Revere High School in 2006, he spent a year at Southern New Hampshire University. He has been working for Northeast Oil Delivery since 2002. “He is a young man fully aware of the meaning of dedication to a job and of how to respond to the people who rely upon your service,” Arrigo said. Fabiano is currently on active military duty as a staff sergeant with the U.S Air Force stationed in Grand Forks, N.D. “Joseph, we thank you for your service to our country, and we look forward to your continuing service to our city,” Arrigo said. DiBartolomeo said it has been a long time coming and he’s excited to serve alongside his new comrades. Festa said he’s excited for the opportunity to begin his career. Gibson said he’s happy to start after a fi ve-year wait. Hartman said he’s eager and honored to serve the community and others who need the Fire Department. Fabiano said he felt amazing and had been working toward this goal. “I’m ready to serve the city,” he said. DiBartolomeo’s mother, Martha, who pinned his badge, said she’s proud of her son and the work he’s done to get this far. His father, Leonard, said he is America’s fi nest. His niece, Lily, 9, called him a good soldier. DiBartolomeo’s girlfriend, Rowan Cornell, said he loves to help others and that he’ll do an amazing job. Festa’s wife, Lauren, said her husband is a loyal, determined transplant was the only option. “I’m fortunate to be here,” O’Hare said. O’Hare said half of the people who can be registered are registered and that it only takes minutes to do so. Carol Dullda said her grandson, Ethan, 11 months, donated a liver to a boy from the Northwest and two kidneys to an adult male from Pennsylvania when he died after a tree hit him in the head during a windstorm. “Helping another person to live was the rainbow after a storm,” Dullda said. “Ethan has softened our sorrow and lightened our darkness by touching so many lives.” Lions Club member Liz Sandeman said her sister died waiting for a lung transplant at age 54 after a battle with a rare lung disease. “She never got the phone call she was waiting for after two years,” Sandeman said. “But she got more than 10,000 people registered as a result.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com. and hard-working guy. “Revere is lucky to have him,” she said. His mother-in-law, Patrica Bakerian, said being on the Fire Department has been his dream for his entire life. “He’s worked so hard to make this dream come true,” Bakerian said. Gibson’s wife, Christina, pinned the badge with their three-year-old son, Eric. “He’s a great role model that I want our two sons to look up to,” she said. Hartman’s uncle John pinned his badge. Fabiano’s grandmother, Grace, said he is making his siblings, Michael, 23, Melissa, 21, Jimmy, 20, Paul, 19, and Danielle, 12, proud. “He serves proudly in the Air Force,” she said. Fire Chief Christopher Bright thanked Arrigo for supporting the department’s application for a staffi ng grant for the second year in a row. “The mayor’s support has increased the Fire Department’s staffi ng for eight fi refi ghting positions over the past two years,” Bright said. “We are not fi nished yet.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.
MAYOR | from page 1 “My fellow residents, tonight Revere stands at the edge of a future where dreams will come true,” Mayor Arrigo said, pledging to continue work with “a positive attitude, an attentive ear and an enlightened vision.” Among the new initiatives Mayor Arrigo announced is a pilot of the city’s fi rst community center, which in 2019 will use the Garfi eld School to provide residents with access to the gym, swimming pool and a variety of classes. A “Mobile City Hall” will bring basic city services into Revere’s neighborhoods, building on Mayor Arrigo’s commitment to make doing business with the city easier and more eff ective. Investing in Public Education Revere Public Schools continue to shine, with the Revere High School Class of 2018 sending 340 graduates to higher education. The high school will also graduate its first-ever national QuestBridge Scholarship winners and two Posse Scholars in 2019. “The quality of our students directly refl ects the quality of our teachers,” Mayor Arrigo said, highlighting the work of A.P. Calculus teacher Erin Cronin, who was named Massachusetts’s STEM Educator of the Year. In an announcement the community has awaited for years, Revere gained initial approval from the Massachusetts School Building Authority for a new Revere High THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, February 15, 2019 ● Implemented an ownSchool. And, through collaboration with U.S. Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Representative Katherine Clark, a U.S. Department of Justice COPS Safety Grant is funding critical safety measures to prevent violence in Revere’s schools. Governing with Integrity Throughout his address, Mayor Arrigo highlighted the importance of prudent fi scal management, the reinvestment of funds in city services and the value of governing transparently – all to ensure that city government remains accountable to the people. “No longer does Revere simply plod along with the way things always were; we have sought out and implemented new and better ways to do business,” Mayor Arrigo said. Through this lens, over the past year, the Administration: ● Commissioned an independent, comprehensive audit of the city’s fi nances that revealed nearly $2.2 million in 86 inactive accounts. ● Achieved the City of Revere’s highest bond rating – AA – in its history from Standard & Poor’s. ● Certified $11.2 million in free cash in 2018 and announced estimated free cash of $9 million in 2019, the two highest amounts in Revere’s history. ● Presented ratepayers with a check for $2 million, representing a three percent decrease in the city’s water and sewer rates, the city’s fi rst rate reduction in 20 years. er-occupied real estate tax break of over $500 for eligible seniors and added another bracket of discounts that will make qualifi ed seniors eligible for up to a 30 percent reduction in water and sewer bills. ● Continued to work toward a residential tax exemption for all owner-occupied properties. Improving Quality of Life through Public Services Mayor Arrigo pointed to the continued investment in public services that improve quality of life for Revere residents. ● With additional staff and new equipment, the Department of Public Works and Water & Sewer Department are delivering services smarter, and with better results. In 2018 alone, they responded to over 23,000 service requests, from pothole repair and snow removal to water main breaks and clogged storm drains. Plans are advancing on a long-overdue state-of-the-art public works facility. ● Investments in public safety have resulted in the hiring of four new fi refi ghters, a new Ladder truck for the Central Fire Station, progress toward a Point of Pines fi re station, new laptops for Revere Police cruisers and other tools to keep neighborhoods safe. The ranks of both the police and fi re departments continue to grow, ensuring Revere is always prepared to respond to situations where every second counts. ● Doing business with the City of Revere has become Eastern Bank Bldg. on RT-1 605 Broadway, #301 Saugus, MA 01906 (781) 233-6844 www.bostonnorthdental.com Page 5 easier. The Revere 311 constituent services line was expanded, and more and more residents utilized its convenience in 2018. A new website will make city processes more seamless. ● In 2018 an overhaul of the Parking Department restored public trust, resulted in new equipment, and implemented efficient collection procedures. New smart meters have averaged nearly $3,000 per week in collections and will continue to increase. ● The City of Revere delivered more than 16,000 new, heavy-duty trash carts to every residential property, a key component to support improved trash disposal and the fi ght against rodents. Revere is leading the way on this issue, retaining professional exterminators to assist property owners in battling rodent activity. Securing a Dynamic Economy for All Economic development in Revere has advanced from the planning stages to active construction of new hotels and businesses, and a pipeline of $750 million in private investment is set to bolster the city’s commercial tax base. Seven hotels will open over the next few years, with construction underway on a pair of signature hotels on Revere Beach Boulevard. Amenities like full-service restaurants, Starbucks and other innovative spaces will spark vitality along the Revere Waterfront, where visitors and residents alike will be able to enjoy Revere’s magnificent view of the ocean. Next Stop Revere, the city’s fi rst master planning process in nearly 50 years, represents a collective eff ort to envision the future of the city. “It is our goal to create a dynamic commercial tax base that provides opportunities for all of our residents,” Mayor Arrigo said. “From the rubble of years gone by, from vacant lots where only memories remain, unprecedented opportunity beckons.” A year from now, the early stages of a 15-20-year project that will transform Suffolk Downs will be visible to all: An Innovation Center and full service hotel will rise; a new network of roadways and bike trails will connect Beachmont with unique retail and offi ce space; and all will be able to enjoy recreational areas never before seen in the city. The Suff olk Downs project, after completion of all phases, is projected to generate $43 million every year in total tax revenue. dine drink gather enjoy THE NORTH SHORE'S HOTTEST NIGHTCLUB!

BOSTON – State Representative RoseLee Vincent, Revere Police Chief Jim Guido and Revere Police Sergeant Rob Impemba joined Governor Charlie Baker, Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito and Undersecretary of Public Safety for Law Enforcement Jennifer Queally and local police chiefs at the 2019 Senator Charles E. Shannon, Jr., Community Safety Initiative Grant Awards. Since 2006 the Massachusetts Legislature has appropriated funds to support Massachusetts’s Shannon Community Safety Initiative in an eff ort to reduce gang violence across the Commonwealth. In order to receive the Shannon Grant, communities must develop strategies and programs in a variety of areas to deter young people from joining gangs. In turn, these sites work with community-based partners and programs to combat gang violence issues. Revere receives Shannon Grant for 2019 Mayor announces Go Green Save Green initiative for Revere M ayor Brian Arrigo is pleased to announce two 20-year solar energy agreements between the City of Revere and Citizens Energy Corporation that will result in the City saving an additional half-million dollars on top of the savings from the original contract. The City Council approved the contracts in a unanimous vote on Monday night. Under the new agreements, Citizens is creating two new solar power plants as Low-Income Community Shared Solar Projects – one in Ayer and another in Bridgewater. By building those, Citizens increases its capacity to produce electricity and consequently increases the amount of electricity available for purchase by the City. This nets the City a 17% discount in its purchase cost, resulting in a savings of over $500,000 in the full term of the contract. This is on top of the projected $4 million in savings from the original contract. “This is a great deal for taxpayers, as it allows the city to reduce expense without impacting services, and it’s also 100% green energy,” said Mayor Arrigo. “In addition to the savings, this new program will provide saving opportunities for the residents that need it most.” In tandem with the purchase of solar-powered electricity, Citizens Energy, through its charitable program, will be able to provide deeply discounted energy credits that will amount to some $150 in savings annually to approximately 150 low-income households in Revere.

T he Revere High School boys’ basketball team (5-12 overall, 4-10 in the Northeastern Conference) once again struggled off ensively, and as a result Medford (57-32) and Beverly (66-37) took care of business rather handily this past week. The Patriots have been hurt by the absence of senior Omar Bendjahene, who broke his thumb on his shooting hand three weeks ago, and his presence in the backcourt has greatly aff ected the overall cohesiveness of the off ense. “We played Medford last Friday night on its Senior Night, and they came out hungry, and we didn’t answer the bell,” said Coach Dave Leary. The Revere boys were losing after one quarter, 14-4. It was 31-12 in favor of the host Mustangs at halftime. Scott Montefusco was Revere’s off ensive leader in this game with seven points. Junior guard Amara Bockarie was next in line with six. Nick Ciciulla accounted for five, along with junior forward Scott Toglan. “We held [Medford] to 27 fi rst-half points the fi rst time we played them in the Christmas Tournament, and they scored only four more points in this game,” Leary said. “Our off ense is just stagnant right now.” Beverly came roaring out of the gate Wednesday night to lead the host Patriots after one quarter, 18-9. But the Revere boys fought back to cut the defi cit to just three midway through the second quarter, 23-20, before the off ense went cold, once again. The Panthers led at halftime, 36-20, and then they clamped down on the home team, giving up just 17 more points to turn it into a rout. Montefusco and Toglan were among Revere’s leaders on off ense against Beverly with fi ve points apiece. Sophomore guard Crismael Lithgow, who was just brought up from the JV team, also netted fi ve in the scoring column. Junior guard E.J. Leone and Bockarie chipped in with four points each, along with senior guard Sebastian Vanegas. The Patriots take on visiting Danvers on Feb. 14 on Senior Night, before they head to Hamilton-Wenham to play in the General Patton Tournament, which will wrap up the season, next week. They will take on Winchester in the fi rst game on Monday night, Feb. 18, starting at 5 p.m., and will then play Arlington Catholic or the host Generals in the consolation or championship game on Tuesday, also beginning at 5 p.m. Sounds of Revere VINCENT HOUSE COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS: Congratulations to State Representative RoseLee Vincent who was recently named to a leadership position as Vice-Chair to the House’s Bonding, Capital Expenditure & State Assets committee. Vincent was also appointed to the Marijuana Policy and the Revenue committees this past week by House Speaker Bob DeLeo. BIG DIG BUST: The worst traffi c in the USA? According to a report from Inrix, a transportation data fi rm that publishes annual rankings of congestion around the world, Boston is offi cially the worst in commuting gridlock traffi c during peak morning and afternoon drive times in the US behind Washington, DC, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. According to a story in the Boston Globe, the study found out what many Mass. residents around Greater Boston and the north shore already know: that Boston traffi c is basically a slow moving parking lot and it looks as though it’s not about to get any better despite billions of dollars in taxpayer funding to fi x by way of the Big Dig. I think it’s time we take to the airways with fl ying cars as there’s plenty of room to ride. OUR BUDDY: Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Buddy www.reverealuminumwindow.com Mangini of East Boston.

Please send your cards and well wishes to: Bear Hill Rehabilitation Center, 11 North Street, Stoneham, MA 02180. Get well, soon, Buddy! - JDM “Winthrop’s fi rst line is probably the best in Division 2,” said Ciccarello, “but we came up with a defensive scheme to slow them down for most of the game.” The Vikings top unit did account for all of their goals, but it was not as easy as it looked. It took the home team twoplus periods to fi nally break it wide open. “We defi nitely played hard in this game,” said Ciccarello. “The kids were disappointed afterwards, but were also upbeat to fi nish the season strong in their fi nal three games on the schedule.” The Revere-Malden boys will be facing East Boston at Eastie’s Porrazzo Rink on Saturday, Feb. 16, at 4:40 p.m. They will then be at Peabody to take on the Tanners on Wednesday (5 p.m.), before coming home for Senior Night on Feb. 22, when Beverly comes to the Cronin Rink, beginning at 5 p.m. Sophomore goalie J.T. Bowdridge was peppered with shots against Winthrop, and once again he turned away most of them. Winthrop led the shots battle, 35-15. Ciccarello employed diff erent combinations to try and disrupt Winthrop’s first line, and for the most part they all did the job to keep it relatively close on the scoreboard after two periods. Revere’s one-game-a-week schedule in February is about to end with games on Saturday, Wednesday and next Friday night that will complete the 2018-2019 campaign.

Page 18 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, February 15, 2019 North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra Winter Concert – Sun., Feb. 17 at Swampscott High School Highlighted by Joseph Foley playing Trumpet Concerto by Johann Nepomuk Hummel M usic Director Robert Lehmann will conduct the North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra (NSPO) in its Winter Concert with a program highlighted by trumpeter Joseph Foley playing the Trumpet Concerto by Johann Nepomuk Hummel on Sunday, February 17 at 3 p.m. at Swampscott High School. Antonín Dvořák’s “Slavonic Dances” and Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4 complete the program. Tickets are $30, $25 for seniors and students, and children 12 and under are admitted free. Tickets will be available at the door on the day of the concert and are available for advance purchase through NSPO’s website, www.nspo.org. Hummel’s short (under 20 minutes) but spirited concerto was composed in 1803, and it is well known for its pert rhythms and pleasant melodies. First written for trumpets in the “pre-valve” age, it’s wide range and inflection and dancing quality has made it a popular staple of the classical repertoire. Soloist Joseph Foley is well known throughout New England as principal trumpet of both the Rhode Island Philharmonic and Portland (Maine) Symphony Orchestra. He has performed with the Boston Pops, the Boston Classical Orchestra and the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, and his recording “Nightsongs” (with Bonnie Anderson) earned critical praise. Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4 is a brilliant, if controversial, example of the composer’s work. While some have considered it to contain The North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra will perform the Winter Concert of its 71st Dvořák, Hummel and Schumann. errors in orchestration, others have regarded it as daring and innovative. Regardless of historical commentary, the work has grown to be regarded as one of the great symphonies of all time. Leonard Bernstein recorded the work with the New York Philharmonic and praised its “image of Romantic Man, the Artist-God, escaping from the treacherous earth on the aerial currents of a masterpiece.” Schumann’s Fourth is today regarded as rising above the blinders and conventions of its time. Antonín Dvořák wrote the Slavonic Dances as a series of 16 orchestral pieces in 1878 and 1866. The NSPO will play Nos. 6, 7 and 8 of Opus 46. Dvorak was inspired to write the dances by the work of Johannes Brahms, whose Hungarian Dances were highly regarded. The North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra plays three subscription concerts at Swampscott High School. The 2018-2019 season marks NSPO’s 71st Anniversary. NSPO is supported in part by a grant from the Swampscott Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, February 15, 2019 Page 19 by Jim Miller Do I Need to File a Tax Return This Year? Dear Savvy Senior, What are the IRS income tax fi ling requirements for retirees this tax season? My income dropped way down when I had to retire last year, so I’m wondering if I need to fi le a tax return this year. Retired Ron Dear Ron, Whether or not you are required to fi le a federal income tax return this year actually depends on several factors: how much you earned last year (in 2018); the source of that income; your age; and your fi ling status. Here’s a rundown of this tax season’s IRS tax fi ling requirement thresholds. For most people, this is pretty straightforward. If your 2018 gross income – which includes all taxable income, not counting your Social Security benefi ts, unless you are married and fi ling separately – was below the threshold for your fi ling status and age, you may not have to fi le. But if it’s over, you will. • Single: $12,000 ($13,600 if you’re 65 or older by Jan. 1, 2019). • Married fi ling jointly: $24,000 ($25,300 if you or your spouse is 65 or older; or $26,600 if you’re both over 65). • Married fi ling separately: $5 at any age. • Head of household: $18,000 ($19,600 if age 65 or older). • Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child: $24,000 ($25,300 if age 65 or older). To get a detailed breakdown on federal fi ling requirements, along with information on taxable and nontaxable income, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “Tax Guide for Seniors” (publication 554) or see IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p554.pdf. Check Here Too There are, however, some other fi nancial situations that can require you to fi le a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS fi ling requirements. For example, if you earned more than $400 from self-employment in 2018, owe any special taxes like an alternative minimum tax, or get premium tax credits because you, your spouse or a dependent is enrolled in a Health Insurance Marketplace (Obamacare) plan, you’ll need to fi le. You’ll also need to fi le if you’re receiving Social Security benefi ts, and one-half of your benefi ts plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest exceeds $25,000, or $32,000 if you’re married and fi ling jointly. To fi gure all this out, the IRS off ers an interactive tax assistant tool on their website that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to fi le, or if you should fi le because you’re due a refund. It takes less than 15 minutes to complete. You can access this tool at IRS.gov/fi ling – click on “Do I Need to File?” Or, you can get assistance over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800-829-1040. You can also get faceto-face help at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. See IRS.gov/localcontacts or call 800-829-1040 to locate a center near you. Check Your State Even if you’re not required to fi le a federal tax return this year, don’t assume that you’re also excused from fi ling state income taxes. The rules for your state might be very diff erent. Check with your state tax agency before concluding that you’re entirely in the clear.
