Williamsville East Honors Coach Ernst

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y.-Friday was a night Wiliamsville East wrestling coach Bert Ernst will never forget. In front of a packed gym at East the Flames coach was  honored for  his stellar coaching career and  for his victory over cancer. 

It was the first annual "Takedown for Cancer" night when the Flames hosted the Williamsville South Billies. Both teams wore pink shirts, socks and shoelaces. Proceeds were donated to the University at Buffalo's Jeff Parker Foundation and Carly's Club, both named after young people's lives cut short by cancer. Flames coach Paul Horton told Two On Your Side "We are trying to start a tradition here so the sport of wrestling can give back to the community."

Your kids can be helpful at tax time. That doesn't mean they'll sort your tax receipts or refill your coffee, but those charming children may help you qualify for some valuable tax benefits. Here are 10 things the IRS wants parents to consider when filing their taxes this year.

1. Dependents In most cases, a child can be claimed as a dependent in the year they were born. For more information see IRS Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information.

2. Child Tax Credit You may be able to take this credit for each of your children under age 17. If you do not benefit from the full amount of the Child Tax Credit, you may be eligible for the Additional Child Tax Credit. For more information see IRS Publication 972, Child Tax Credit.
