>> MY NAME IS DEREK AND I'E DIRECTOR OF BANDS AT SAINTK -- SAINT SCHOLASTICA.

♪ A HANDBELL IS GENERALLY SPG MADE OF BRONZE.

THEY INITIALLY STARTED BECS OF IN THE MEDIEVAL TIMES, E WERE BELLS COMING THROUGH E CONTINENT OF EUROPE, HERALG THE BIRTH OF JESUS.

EVENTUALLY THE BELLS WERE E VERY LARGE AND HOUSED INSIE TOWERS TO GET ENDED UP BEIG CALLED BELL TOWERS.

THEY ARE HOUSED IN THE BELF THE TOWER.

WHEN THEY HAD MORE THAN ONF THEM, THEY COULD BE DIFFERT PITCHES.

THEY COULD BE RUN AT DIFFET TIMES ARE TOGETHER.

OVER TIME, THEY STARTED DEVELOPING SOMETHING CALLED CHANGE RINGING.

DIFFERENT TIMES AND SEQUEN.

IT TURNED INTO A VERY MUSI, RELIGIOUS AND PHYSICAL END.

IT TOOK A LOT TO ACTUALLY L THE ROPES.

THEY FIGURED OUT IN THE 16S THAT IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH O PRACTICE IN THE TOWER.

IT'S COLD THERE.

HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE CLE AND YOU ARE IRRITATING MOSF THE LOCAL TOWNSPEOPLE BY PRACTICING IN THESE BELL T. IN THE 6000, THEY CREATED T OF WOODEN HANDBELLS FOR PRACTICING.

THEY SOON REALIZED, WE COUD ACTUALLY PLAY MELODIES WITH THESE THINGS JUST ON OUR ON WITHOUT USING THE TOWER BE.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY, YOT MULTIPLE BELLS.

I AM SOMHAT NEW TO THIS BECAUSE I PLAY THE LOW BEL.

IF YOU HAVE THEM IN SOME KF ORDER, YOU CAN BRING MULTIE BELLS.

YOU CAN BRING MULTIPLE BELT ONCE.

JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

THESE BELLS IN MY HANDS RG LIKE OTHER BELLS THAT YOU .

JUST RING FORWARDS.

THE OTHER ONES ARE TILTED E SIDE.

YOU PUT THEM IN A KNOCK.

IT'S LIKE YOU ARE KNOCKINGA DOOR.

♪ TECHNICALLY YOU COULD BRINA WHOLE SCALE.

THERE'S A PIECE I'M PLAYING LATER TODAY THAT HAS FOUR Y PARTNER HAS FOUR.

WE CAN PLAY A WHOLE SCALE F NOTES WITH JUST THE TWO OFS PLAYING.

THE TRICKY PART IS REMEMBEG WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND.

SOMETIMES IT'S THE SCALE.

DEPENDING ON HOW YOU GO.

SOMETIMES THEY ARE TOGETHED YOU CAN TOSS THEM.

♪ YOU CAN GET BOTH SOUNDS TOG AT THE SAME TIME.

I CAN'T DO IT AT THE MOMEN.

THIS IS A BIT -- AS BIG ASU WANT TO GO WITH THIS BECAUT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TECHE TO DO.

THEY WILL SOMETIMES PUT A D BELL IN THEIR HANDS HERE SU BELL IN THEIR HANDS HERE S. IT BREAKS MY BRAIN A LITTLT TO DO.

I HAVE A HARD TIME IMAGINI.

I LIVE WITH THE LOWER ONES.

OFTEN TIMES TO GET THE SOUS YOU WANT, WE HAVE MALLETS.

PERCUSSION MALLETS.

YOU CAN MALLET BELLS.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE PLAYG SOMETHING LIKE -- ♪ YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE GO- YOU COULD STILL -- ♪ IT'S A DIFFERENT SOUND.

THESE ARRAYS AND -- OF COLS AND SOUNDS WE CAN GET OUT F BELLS.

FOR THE LOWER ONES, THIS IE LOWEST SET THAT SAINT SCHOLASTICA HAS.

AC THREE.

IS THE SEA BELOW BASS CLEF.

IT'S JUST ABOUT GETTING THE BILLS UP AND OFF THE TABLEN TIME TO RING THEM.

YOU CAN HOLD MULTIPLE OF TE IN THE HAND.

MY PASSION FOR HANDBELLS IT IT'S UNLIKE ANY OTHER MUSII DO.

I SAYING, I'M A LOW BRASS R BY DEGREE.

I'M A TROMBONIST.

TUBA PLAYER.

I DIRECT BANDS, LOW BRASS ENSEMBLES.

I DO ALL THESE MUSICAL ENDEAVORS.

HANDBELLS IS UNLIKE ANY OF.

ONE OF THE BEST PARTS IS 'S NOT CONDUCTIVE.

WE DON'T HAVE A CONDUCTOR STANDING IN FRONT OF US AND TELLING US WHAT TO DO.

I AM THE DIRECTOR OF THE G. OUR DIRECTOR PASSED AWAY.

ALEXANDER WHO DIRECTED THEP FOR FOUR YEARS, DIED A MOND A HALF AGO.

HE HAD ALREADY PASSED ON TE GROUP TO ME IN SEPTEMBER.

I'M IN THE GROUP AND I PLAT RIGHT IN THE GROUP ALONG WH EVERYBODY ELSE.

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN UP THE E LINE.

THIS IS A REHEARSAL SPACE E HAVE HERE.

YOU WERE HERS IN AN ARC OFE KIND.

IT'S LIKE 11 PEOPLE, NINE E HERE.

IT'S LIKE AN 11 PERSON PIA.

YOU TAKE THE NOTES THAT YOE AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY THEM N TIME.

WHEN IT HAPPENS, PIECES SLW DOWN AND SPEED UP.

YOU MIGHT GO -- ♪ YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE OF THOSE BELLS.

IT'S A GREAT BRAIN WORKOUT.

I ALWAYS PLAY THE LOW END F BELLS.

USUALLY IT'S MORE OF A, A CHOREOGRAPHY OF WHEN TO PIK THEM UP AND HOW TO PUT THEP AND PUT THEM DOWN IN THE RT SPOT.

IT'S LIKE TAKING THE KEYS F THE PIANO AND HAVING TO PUM BACK IN THE SAME SPOT.

THE HIGHEST BELLS, THEY CAE UP TO THREE BELLS SOMETIMEN THE SAME HAND, DEPENDING OE DIRECTION YOU RING IT.

IT WILL RING OR NOT RING.

IT'S A VISUAL ART FORM AS L AS AN ORAL ART FORM.

PELE COME TO THE CONCERTS, THEY GET TO WATCH, YOU CAN LISTEN.

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND ENJOY E MUSIC BEING MADE.

YOU CAN OPEN YOUR EYES ANDE THE CRAZY THINGS HAPPENINGN THE TABLES.

IT'S A RIOT.

♪ ♪ >> SO FASCINATING.

>> IT WAS.

IT'S LIKE A BRAIN EXERCISE.

ALSO VERY PHYSICAL.

THOSE LOW BELLS ARE HUGE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD BEE TO HANDLE THAT.

>> YEAH.

WOW.

THAT'S A TALENT.

COOL.

OUR GUESTS ARE THE FREE TAP TEAM AT COMMUNITY ACTION D. >> OUR PRODUCER SAT DOWN WH THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU D TO KNOW WHILE FILING THIS .

TAKE A LOOK.

>> I AM THE PROGRAM MANAGER HERE.

MY JOB IS TO HANDLE THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION OF THX SITE.

>> I AM THE TAX SITE COURTR HERE AT COMMUNITY ACTION.

MY ROLES INCLUDE THE DAY-TY OPERATIONS OF KEEPING THE VOLUNTEERS ALL INFORMED AND ORGANIZED AND THEN OF COURO SUPPORT ANYONE THAT NEEDS CONSULTATION OR PREPARATIO.

>> WHAT DOES YOUR OFFICE AD ORGANIZATION DO TO HELP MINNESOTANS WITH THEIR TAX?

>> HERE AT COMMUNITY ACTIOE PROVIDE A FREE TAX SERVICER ANY BUDDY -- ANYBODY IN THE SURROUNDING ST. LOUIS COUN.

WE PROVIDE A FREE TAX CLINR THEM.

IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONSR ANY CONCERNS, THEY CAN ASKE VOLUNTEERS ABOUT ANYTHING .

>> THE KEY COMPONENT IS THE VOLUNTEER BASE PREPARATION.

PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO GET E INFORMATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

PEOPLE AREN'T BEING TOLD TT -- THIS IS AN BEING TOLD TT PEOPLE.

ONE THING THAT PEOPLE OFTEN OVERLOOK, ST TIME IS THAT - THE AUTOMATIC CREDIT THAT INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE FOR A QUALIFYING CHILD THAT'S ONE RETURN.

THEY AUTOMATICALLY GET $170 REGARDLESS OF IF THEY HAVEO INCOME.

AT DOES LOWER AFTER A CERTN AMOUNT OF INCOME SCALE.

IMPLEMENTED LAST YEAR.

INDIVIDUALS AREN'T GETTINGD THIS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE AS MUCH AS THEY SHD BE.

BECAUSE IT GETS IMPLEMENTED I'S AN EXCITATION FOR PEOPO KNOW, BUT THEY DON'T.

THAT JUST GETS OVERLOOKED.

THE OTHER CREDIT THAT HAS CHANGED THIS YEAR IN COMPAN TO OTHER YEARS IS THE RENT CREDIT FOR INDIVIDUALS.

INSTEAD OF FILING IT ON YOR PROPER RETURN, YOU WOULD BE FILING IT WITH YOUR INDIVIL MINNESOTA INCOME TAX RETURD IT WOULD ACT AS A REFUNDABE CREDIT.

>> YOU WANT TO GET THAT WHE YOU WOULDN'T BE EXPECTING .

JULY, AUGUST.

YOU WOULD BE GETTING THAT K WITH YOUR STATE RETURN.

SO YOU WOULD BE GETTING ITK SOONER.

>> WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOT COMMON MISTAKES THAT YOU SE PEOPLE MAKING WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO FILE THEIR TAXES?

>> GENERALLY, IT WOULD BE T INFORMG THEM ABOUT THE WITHHOLDING THEY WOULD BE G THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

CERTAIN COMPANIES IN CERTAN JOBS MAY NOT TAKE OUT ENOUO NOBODY'S FAULT.

IT JUST HOW THE SYSTEM IS.

WE WANT TO INFORM INDIVIDUS ABOUT TAKING OUT ENOUGH.

WE WOULD DO THAT BY TAKINGA LOOK AT EITHER THEIR LAST R RETURN OVER CURRENT PAYSTUR THE YEAR AND GOING IN AND G IF A PERCENTAGE OF WITHHOLG IS GOING TO BE COMPARABLE.

THEY WOULD INQUIRE FOR THED OF THE YEAR IN COMPARISON O THEIR FULL INCOME.

JUST GIVING PEOPLE INFORMAN ABOUT THAT.

THAT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST G THAT THEY CAN DO THAT THEYE CONTROL OVER.

>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY PEOPE SHOULD DO IF THEY HAVE NOTD THEIR TAXES YET?

>>, AND CS.

COME AND SEE US AND SEE IFU QUALIFY TO GET YOUR TAXES .

THE BIGGEST THING THAT INDIVIDUALS DON'T THINK ABT IS, IF THEY ARE NOT REQUIRO FILE, THEY MAY STILL BE --Y MAY STILL QUALIFYOR CERTAIN TAX CREDITS.

THAT DISTINCTION IS SOMETHE WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TK AT, FOR EXAMPLE THE WORKING FAMILY CREDIT FOR THE $175.

YOU MAY NOT NEED TO FILE BU STILL QUAFY FOR THAT CREDIT REGARDLESS.

THIS YEAR, AS I TOUCHED ONE STATE MANDATE CHANGE FOR TE CERTIFICATE OF RENT CREDIT.

INSTEAD OF GETTING YOUR FE, STATE, PROPERTY DOWN THE LN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, THAT T YOU WOULD'VE RECEIVED FOR E CERTIFICATE OF RENT.

IT WILL BE LOCKED ON TO THE REGULAR MINNESOTA INCOME TX RETURN IS A REFUNDABLE CRE.

IT WILL GO AGAINST YOUR TA.

IT WILL JUST BE ADDED TO WHATEVER YOU MAY GETTING B.

>> WHAT ABOUT FOR HOMEOWNEN MINNESOTA?

>> I WOULD SAY THE BIGGEST BENEFIT FOR HOMEOWNERS IS G TO BE THE PROPERTY STATEMET RETURN, THE HOMESTEAD RETUN CREDIT THAT YOU WOULD GET.

THAT HAS STAYED THE SA.

YOU WOULD STILL FILE FEDER, STATE RETURN AND THEN PROPY DOWN THE LINE.

ALSO, THERE IS A CREDIT FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS.

IF YOU ARE A FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER, THEN YOU WOULD QUALIFY IN THE SODA TO GETA CREDIT BACK FROM PURCHASINA HOME.

>> WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL SECURY BENEFITS?

ARE THERE ANY EXEMPTIONS IN MINNESOTA TAX LAW?

>> SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITT NECESSARILY.

HOWEVER, FOR INDIVIDUALS F, SOCIAL SECURITY DOESN'T BEO GET TAXED UNTIL ABOUT $82,.

AFTER THAT, A LOT OF THAT L BECOME TAX.

UP UNTIL THAT POINT, THER'T BE ANY TAX.

UNLESS YOU ARE A PROPERTY .

THEN YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY D GO DOWN AS HOUSEHOLD INCOM.

HOUSEHOLD INCOME DOES CHANE YOUR PROPERTY RETURN.

>> WHAT TAX CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD RETIREES KEEP IN MID WHEN PLANNING WITHDRAWALS M PENSIONS OR OTHER RETIREMET ACCOUNTS?

>> THE BIGGEST THING TO LOR WOULD BE THE RETIREMENT SAS CREDIT, WHERE INDIVIDUALS N GET UP TO $1000 OF CREDIT M JUST CONTRIBUTING TO CERTAN RETIREMENT PLANS.

REGARDLESS OF ITS PENSION 2 , THAT COULD GET ROLLED OVR INTO RETIREMENT.

THAT CREDIT IS GOING TO BEE LARGEST ONE THAT WE SEE FOR MINNESOTA'S.

>> ANY SPECIFIC TAX CREDITR DEDUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR SS IN MINNESOTA?

>> LET'S SEE HERE.

THERE IS A 65 AND UP DISABY SUBTRACTION.

HE WOULD GET A SUBTRACTIONM YOUR TOTAL INCOME AND LOWEG YOUR TAXABLE INCOME, LOWERG YOUR TAX.

THERE WOULD ALSO BE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS SUBTRACT.

IF YOU TAKE OUT CERTAIN AMS OF SOCIAL SECURITY, YOU COD ALSO POTENTIALLY GET A SUBTRACTION FOR THAT AS WEN YOUR MINNESOTA RETURN.

THE OTHER TWO THAT COME TOD ARE THE LONG TERM CARE PREM CREDIT.

IF YOU ARE RECEIVING LONG-M CARE, THAT'S A CREDIT THATU COULD RECEIVE ON YOUR MINNA RETURN AS WELL.

THE LAST THING WOULD BE THE RAILROAD BENEFIT.

IF YOU ARE TAKING OUT FOR A RAILROAD RETIREMENT, THAT T GOING TO BE TAXABLE ON THEE OF MINNESOTA.

>> ARE THERE ANY TAX IMPLICATIONS FOR WORKING REMOTELY FROM MINNESOTA BAD COMPANY WHILE LIVING IN ANR STATE?

>> GENERALLY FOR BUSINESSES THEMSELVES, NOT 100% SURE.

HOWEVER, FOR INDIVIDUALS -F YOU ARE WORKING IN WISCONSD LIVING IN MINNESOTA, WHAT L HAPPEN IS WISCONSIN WILL GE YOU A CREDIT FOR NOT HAVINE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN WAGES D HOLDINGS IN YOUR HOME STAT.

GIVING YOU THAT CREDIT ON E MINNESOTA RETURN.

BUT BASICALLY COMING FROM E OTHER STATE OF EMPLOYMENT.

>> WHAT TAX CREDITS ARE AVLABLE FOR FAMILIES SUCH S THE CHILD TAX CREDIT OR THE MINNESOTA WORKING FAMILY C?

>> AS FAR AS I KNOW, ON THE CHILD IN DAYCARE CREDIT, 'S ONE.

CHILD AND WORKING FAMILY CT IS ONE THE K-12 EDUCATION CREDIT S ANOTHER ONE.

THEY CAN TAKE THAT.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND BE ABO QUALIFY FOR THOSE.

IF THERE'S ANY MORE CREDITI WOULDN'T KNOW AT THIS TIME.

BUT PRETTY MUCH I THINK THS THE OTHER CREDITS.

>> HOW CAN PEOPLE MAKE SURY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SORTS OF CREDITS?

>> A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE 'T KNOW ABOUT THOREDITS.

SO THAT'S WHERE THE PREPARD WILL COME IN AND ASK THEM,E YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS?

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS CRE?

IF THEY SAY NO, I WOULD SAO FURTHER PREPARE.

WE CAN GO AND ASK PLANE THE CREDITS THAT ARE AVAILABLEO THEM.

THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE HEED.

>> WHEN SHOULD SOMEONE CONR HIRING A TAX PROFESSIONAL INSTEAD OF FILING ON THEIR?

>> THAT KIND OF COMES RIGHT AWAY.

I WOULD RECOMMEND GETTING T LEAST A CONSULTATION FROM N INDIVIDUAL.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T NECESSARY ARE REQUIRED TO FILE TAXESU STILL MAY QUALIFY FOR CERTN CREDITS AND THOSE ARE SOMEG TO BE AWARE OF AND TO KNOWT GOING INTO IT, BEFORE GOINO DOING YOUR RETURN.

>> NOW WE ARE VENTURING OUO THE COMMUNITY ACTION DULUTH INDOOR FARMERS MARKET TO HR FROM THE SEEDS OF SUCCESS PROGRAM MANAGER.
