NEW SERVICE LINE PROTECTION WARRANTY PROGRAM
OFFERED TO DISTRICT CUSTOMERS
 
As a homeowner in Southern Nevada, you know water leaks are bound to happen. To help you better afford repairing costly service line water leaks, the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) is introducing a new program to help make it easier to find and repair costly leaks—and save our precious natural resources.
 
The LVVWD developed the Service Line Protection Warranty Program in partnership with American Water Resources, an Oncourse company, to provide water service line protection at a significantly discounted rate.
The program covers repair costs for service line leaks and breaks that occur between the home and the water meter.
 
Through this program, District customers pay a monthly premium starting at $3.99 for the first three years. The first 50,000 customers who enroll in the program will be fully reimbursed for the first year of service ($47.88) by the LVVWD. It’s important to note that LVVWD does not receive any financial compensation from this program, but rather created this partnership solely to help its customers avoid the high cost of service line repairs, which can exceed $3,000.
 
Research shows that homes more than 20 years old are significantly more likely to experience service line leaks than newer properties. This expense can lead to delayed repairs, which results in more water lost to leaks and, in time, drives up the customer’s water bill. 
 
Details on the new warranty program will be mailed to District homeowners in early 2025. Visit lvvwd.com for more info about the program and additional water-saving tips. 
 

 
IRS 
PREPARE TO FILE IN 2025 
 Get Ready for tax season with key updates, essential tips 
 
With the 2025 filing season quickly approaching, the Internal Revenue Service  encouraged taxpayers to take key steps now to prepare for filing their 2024 federal income tax returns next year. There are a number of things taxpayers can do to get ready as the end of 2024 nears and the start of the 2025 tax season approaches.
 
The IRS’s Get Ready page on IRS.gov offers practical tips and resources to help taxpayers prepare. It highlights key updates and important steps for taxpayers to consider to make tax filing easier in 2025. 
 
This reminder is part of a series designed to help taxpayers “Get Ready” for the upcoming filing season. Taking action now can reduce stress and ensure a smoother filing process next year. 
 
Do more with an IRS Online Account 
Individuals can create or access their IRS Online Account at Online account for individuals. With an IRS Online Account, they can:
 
*View key details from their most recent tax return, such as adjusted gross income.
*Request an Identity Protection PIN.
*Get account transcripts to include wage and income records.
*Sign tax forms like powers of attorney or tax information authorizations.
*View and edit language preferences and alternative media.
*Receive and view over 200 IRS electronic notices.
*View, make and cancel payments.
*Set up or change payment plans and check their balance.
 
Get an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) 
An IP PIN is a six-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a federal tax return using an individual’s Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. It’s a vital tool for ensuring the safety of taxpayers’ personal and financial information. 
 
The best way to sign up for an IP PIN is through the IRS Online Account. If an individual is unable to create an Online Account, alternative methods are available, such as in-person authentication at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. More information is available on how to sign up at Get an identity protection PIN (IP PIN).  
 
Understand refund timing and how to avoid delays 
Several factors can influence the timing of a refund after the IRS receives a tax return. While the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, taxpayers are advised not to depend on receiving a 2024 federal tax refund by a specific date for major purchases or bill payments. Some returns may require additional review and take longer to process if there are possible errors, missing information, or indications of identity theft or fraud.
 
Gather and organize 2024 tax documents 
To make tax time easier, taxpayers should establish an effective record-keeping system, either electronic or paper, to organize all important documents in one place. This includes year-end income forms such as Forms W-2 from employers, Forms 1099 from banks or other payers, Forms 1099-K from third-party payment networks, Forms 1099-NEC for non-employee compensation, Forms 1099-MISC for miscellaneous income, Forms 1099-INT for interest income and records of all digital asset transactions. Having all necessary documentation ensures taxpayers can file an accurate return and reduces the likelihood of processing delays or refund issues. 
 
Use direct deposit for a faster refund 
Filing electronically and selecting direct deposit remains the fastest and safest way for taxpayers to receive their 2024 tax refunds. Direct deposit ensures quicker access to refunds compared to receiving a paper check.
 
For those without a bank account, resources are available to help. Individuals can learn how to open an account at an FDIC-insured bank or use the national Credit Union Locator tool. Veterans can explore the Veterans Benefits Banking Program for financial services at participating banks. 
 
Tax refunds can also be deposited onto prepaid debit cards or through mobile payment apps, provided they have routing and account numbers. Taxpayers should confirm with the mobile app provider or financial institution which numbers to use when completing their tax return. 
 
Free filing options 
Seventy percent of all taxpayers can use free brand name tax software to prepare and file their federal income tax return electronically using IRS Free File. All taxpayers, regardless of income level, can also use IRS Free File Fill-able Forms. 
 
Taxpayers living in participating states with relatively simple tax returns can use Direct File and file their tax return online directly with the IRS. The Direct File program is another option for taxpayers to file their taxes. Taxpayers can see if they are eligible for Direct File. 
 
Older adults, members of the military and many other taxpayers—depending on their income—may also qualify for free tax return preparation and electronic filing by IRS-trained volunteers through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) or Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs.
