The deadline to file your 2023 taxes just passed this week, and if you were not happy with how your return looked, it might be time to take some steps to change your situation for next year.

Elevate offers free courses for all North Shore Bank employees that can help, including two classes on cutting your taxes — one on saving money on taxes while paying for healthcare and one on how to save money on childcare costs.

The healthcare course provides information about Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and the advantages of these accounts. The course on childcare costs advises you about the Child Tax Credit and Childcare Credit, Dependent Care Accounts, and other ways to save on childcare costs.
