contributions, usually 50% of what you put in. get this, a 401(k) has a tax advantage, that means you don't pay taxes right now. it is one of the best investment deals going. if you don't have a 401(k) at your workplace, look into an i.r.a., they are tax advantaged as well but there is no match. still it is a great deal, start right now, that's the other advice. melva, good luck and thanks for your question. >> thank you, michael. michael finney and the popular 7 on your side tax hotline returns this afternoon. irs agents and tax experts will be here to answer your tax questions. phone lines are open from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., submit our questions on facebook and twitter, use the hashtag "ask finney." you may find this next story really creepy or really cool. according to the "wall street journal," elon musk launched a company dedicated to linking the human brain with computers.

should act. how can they do that? san jose is one of only four cities in california with the ability to bring unfair business practices suits against private parties. they say having the city bring actions on their behalf can send a clear message to those looking to take advantage of vulnerable residents the. city council will look at this issue at their meeting later today. reporting live from san jose. matt keller, abc 7 news. >> matt, thank you. the coast guard and san francisco have called off the search for a man swept into the ocean at baker peach. crews responded to reports of a person screaming before 7:00 last night. they found a 22-year-old man trapped on a cliff, he had been trying to save another man below. crews spotted the unconscious man but weren't able to get to him. they pulled the man up from the side of the cliff and called off the water search for the other man around 10:00 last night. investigators will be back out at an oakland apartment building after a massive fire
