Segment 2, beginning at 24:09: What you do to financially weather the pandemic this year could mean a higher tax bill next year.
Receiving unemployment benefits, pulling money from 401(k) accounts, and taking out a loan this year may count as income when you file taxes next year. Hear advice on how to handle those situations, and what to do if you're not going to meet this year's July 15 tax deadline.

Segment 3, beginning at 39:42: Lisa Benson hopes her actions forced 41 Action News personnel "to confront their racial bias."
A court ruled last year that Lisa Benson was indeed retaliated against by her former employer, but stopped short of saying she was discriminated against because of her race. The experienced Black journalist says the hardest part of her ordeal was knowing coworkers who complimented her work in private "would never, ever support me in the daylight."
