Do a Paycheck Checkup
Every year, the IRS suggests doing what it calls a “Paycheck Checkup.” Check your withholding status if you:
Get married or divorced
Give birth to or adopt a child
Buy a house
Retire
File for bankruptcy
Get a new job or lose a job
The IRS also suggests checking on any streams of taxable income that are not subject to withholding, such as interest, dividends, capital gains, self-employment income, or retirement plan distributions. You also should check your withholding if you’ve experienced changes to your medical expenses, taxes, charitable gifts, education credits, dependent care expenses, and more. These life changes might affect your deductions or tax credits. Paycheck Checkups may help you better manage the process of filing taxes.

Rest, Relaxation, and Healthy Nutrition
Here are some tips on how to stay healthy, even during holiday trips:
Before heading to the airport, pack a snack box of fruits, veggies, nuts, lean proteins, and healthy bars. This way, you won’t be tempted by chips and soda while you wait for your flight.
Get plenty of sleep. Just like at home, it’s really important to get a good night’s sleep while traveling. Sleep helps your body reset for the next day and will help you maintain your weight.
Hydrate often.
Take your vitamins to ensure you’re at your best. A daily pill organizer can help you remember to take them, even while traveling.
There’s no reason why you must sacrifice all your hard work and healthy habits while visiting family or heading to warmer destinations during the holidays. If anything, continuing a healthy lifestyle while traveling will help you have even more fun!
