Director Moves to Emeritus Position

Long-time board member, Jerry Graben, requested that he be moved to an emeritus status on the Board. Jerry has served in many functions on the Board for more than 40 years. We thank him for his dedication and loyal service throughout these many years.

This request was approved by a unanimous vote. FYI, the only difference in a regular board position and the emeritus status is that the member is not required to regularly attend monthly meetings and has no voting rights. The Board

appointed Alvin Ash to serve in this position until the 2020 annual membership meeting.

th2020 calendars now for March 6 at 7:00 p.m. It will be at the same location as last year's meeting: McElwain Baptist Church located at 4445 Montevallo Road, Birmingham, AL 35213.

This year we have three positions on the Board of Directors to serve for three years each. These positions are currently held by Brenda Aldridge, L.C. Smith and Alvin Ash.

The Board and committee members you elect are responsible for overseeing that the credit union is operated in a safe and sound manner. Their duty requires a lot of time and dedication, but offers no monetary reward. We are very fortunate to have committed, long-time board members.

whose Social Security number the account reports) will be eligible to participate in the drawing for the prizes. And, in an effort to be fair to everyone, we ask that members only accept one prize per household so that more families have an opportunity to win.Please come join us on Friday, March 6, 2020.

Tax InformationYear-end Tax Statements: Please be on the lookout for your 2019 tax forms from the credit union. All tax statements (1099-I, 1099-R and 1098) will be mailed no later than January 31, 2020. In most cases, the tax form is not required (only required if you had withholding) to be attached to the return so if you need this information earlier, please call us and we will be glad to give you the information over the telephone. Or, you can access this information online if you are registered for home banking access.

Of course, this information is printed on your year-end statement for share accounts, but if you had certificates of deposit that closed during the year, we need to provide you with the dividend amounts or wait until the tax form arrives.

Direct Deposit for Tax Refunds: If you are receiving a tax refund, you can have your refund directly deposited to your credit union share account. Federal and state refunds can now be direct deposited which means a faster refund. You will need to fill in your credit union account number on your tax form, give the credit union's routing number (262283843) and specify that your account is a savings account; note only credits to regular share accounts can be accepted. Of course, if you have a credit union checking account, you may receive credits or debits to your account.

IRA Deposits: Ask your tax preparer about an IRA contribution. In many cases, your contribution could be tax deductible. Deposits

can be made up to the tax filing deadline of April 15, 2020 for the tax year of 2019.

The maximum contribution has increased for tax year 2019. For persons under the age of 50, the limit is $6,000 and $7,000 for persons age 50 or older. The credit union offers both traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. IRA rules are somewhat complex, so if you have questions or need more information about IRAs, give us a call; we're here to help if we can.

News You Can UseDraft Accounts. For our members with draft accounts, you need to be aware that checks are presented almost immediately these days, either in the form of the actual check or the check converted to an electronic format known as an ACH item. This can cause problems if you are running short in your account. So, even if you call to inquire if an item has posted to your account and find that it hasn't yet been presented for payment, you can't assume that you're safe for the day as we receive these electronic files all throughout the day.

Home Banking. Check your browser for updates. These updates help keep your computer more secure. If you miss an update you are putting your computer at risk from viruses and hackers. Please be vigilant. And, by now, if you attempted to log into your home banking, you've had to select new security questions. This is because our software vendor continues to update our site with new security features.
