Yahoo StyleIt's a new year and time to put the last one to bed, which means filing your taxes. The Internal Revenue Service says to expect a few changes when the nation's individual income tax filing season opens on Jan. 23. Here are some of the changes you should be aware of: NEW DATE: Taxes are usually due on April 15, but this year that falls on a Saturday. And Emancipation Day, a holiday in Washington, D.C., will be observed on Monday, April 17. So that pushes the nation's deadline to file returns and pay any amount due to April 18. You don't have to wait until then to meet with a tax professional or start the process though. DELAYED REFUNDS: A new law may delay refunds for some low to moderate income
ABC NewsHave you seen the Geico ad with the talking parrot? A 19th-century ship is boarded and the captain is surrounded by pirates. The leader shouts, “Let’s feed him to the sharks,” (pirate cheers and swords held high) “and take all his gold” (more cheers). The parrot repeats these lines, and adds, “and hide it from the crew. They’re all morons anyway.” The voiceover at the end of the Geico ad explains, “If you’re a parrot, you repeat things. That’s what you do.” If you’re a voice-activated Internet of Things (IoT) device, you don’t repeat things, but you may transmit them. Voice-activated IoT devices (which, for this piece, includes smartphones and televisions) are always there, just like that pirate’s
ABC NewsRepublican Senator Rand Paul said he’s drafting legislation for a health-care insurance plan that could replace Obamacare, including a provision to “legalize” the sale of inexpensive insurance policies that provide abbreviated coverage. “That means getting rid of the Obamacare mandates on what you can buy,” Paul said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. Obamacare, which Republicans are moving to repeal, requires insurers to cover a number of procedures -- such as preventive care and pregnancy -- that Paul said drives up the cost. The Kentucky Republican, an ophthalmologist who had his own practice in his home state, said he’ll propose helping people pay for medical bills through

Associated PressJoe Manganiello definitely knows how to party. In fact, the actor feted his 40th birthday last Friday by throwing a Coachella music festival-themed party in Los Angeles. Manganiello's wife, "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara, was among the guests at the party inside the W Hotel, along with her co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and former NBA player Dennis Rodman.

ABC NewsConnor McDavid gets a lot of love in that debate, mostly because of the way he exhibits blazing speed while slashing through opposing defenses. Athanasiou takes the puck behind his own net, motors to center ice - past Evgeni Malkin, who waves at him with his stick - and then into the Penguins zone. Lest anyone think Athanasiou is all skate, no finish, he roofs it past Marc-Andre Fleury for the early goal of the year candidate.

It’s no surprise that Niecy Nash, a comedian, producer and actress, had a response loud and ready when a male TV critic at TCA asked her and her cast of TNT’s “Claws” why they paint their nails. “Claws” is a dramedy set in a nail salon that follows the rise of five diverse manicurists working at Nail Artisan, a salon in Manatee County in South Florida. The TV critic (unwisely) asked Nash, “But why do nail art, if men don’t like it?” As you can imagine, Niecy Nash’s clapback game was strong.
