SUMMARY: Taxpayers who forgot to file their taxes in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 have until Monday to do so, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Almost 1.5 million taxpayers may still be eligible for a tax refund from tax year 2019, with an estimated $1.5 billion in refunds remaining unclaimed. Taxpayers have a three-year window to file and claim their refunds, but the deadline has been extended to July 17 due to the pandemic. There is no penalty for filing late if a taxpayer is owed a refund. The average unclaimed refund for tax year 2019 is $893, but those who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) could be eligible for up to $6,557. Taxpayers who haven’t filed for 2020 and 2021 may have their 2019 refunds withheld.

SUMMARY: In Texas, residents have observed an unusual rise in fly populations, particularly exacerbated in recent years. The phenomenon, discussed by Central Texans on Reddit, aligns with insights from Texas AgriLife Entomologist Wizzie Brown. She explains that the state's warm climate supports year-round fly activity, with heat accelerating their life cycle, leading to rapid population growth. Climate change is likely worsening the issue, as higher temperatures benefit flies and expand their habitable areas. To manage the infestation, Brown suggests regular trash removal, using outdoor garbage bins, and cleaning these bins with dish soap to eliminate fly-attracting odors.
